Difficulty of the Work
James 5:19-20
Brothers, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;…


In the Middle Ages a priest and a general were studying, during war-time, the map of a hostile country which was about to be invaded. The reverend father put his finger on sundry places dotted on the map, and remarked, "This fortified town must be taken, and then this, and this." The soldier broke in, "I may be allowed to remind you, Father Joseph, that fortified towns are not taken with the tip of the finger." To capture a soul for heaven is a feat upon which we must not calculate unless we are prepared to expend care and pains.

(Edward Smith.)
