Rareness of Personal Effort for Souls
John 1:42
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, You are Simon the son of Jona: you shall be called Cephas…


In hundreds of cases I have vat the question pointedly, "Do you know that you have been instrumental in leading one soul to Christ?" only to hear the sad confession that there has been no effort made in that direction.

(A. G. Pearson, D. D.)
