Others may have filled the world with the breath of their name; he has helped to fill Heaven; others may have won an earthly renown; but he who, a Christian himself, has sought to make others Christians—who, reaching the rock himself, draws another, a perishing child, friend, brother, neighbor, up—plucked from the flood himself, pulls another out—who has leaped into the depths that he might rise with a pearl, and set it lustrous in Jesus’ crown— he is the man who shall wear Heaven’s brightest honors, and to whom, before all else, the Lord will say: “Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”—GUTHRIE.
