Men must work, and women must weep.
One good man, one man who does not put on his religion once a week with his Sunday coat, but wears it for his working dress, and lets the thought of God grow into him, and through and through him, till everything he says and does becomes religious, that man is worth a thousand sermons he is a living Gospel he comes in the spirit and power of Elias he is the image of God. And men see his good works, and admire them in spite of themselves, and see that they are Godlike, and that God's grace is no dream, but that the Holy Spirit is still among men, and that all nobleness and manliness is His gift, His stamp, His picture and so they get a glimpse of God again in His saints and heroes, and glorify their Father who is in heaven.
Have thy tools ready. God will find thee work.
Do the work that's nearest, Though it's dull at whiles, Helping, when we meet them, Lame dogs over stiles.
