Be Slow to Despair
James 5:19-20
Brothers, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;…


It is said of the late Lord Lyndhurst that his saving enlightenment came in his ninetieth year. Not till then did he really bow the knee to Jesus and pass from death to life. Those, therefore, who would be eminently successful in soul-winning must be slow to despair. This is the testimony of one who recently died in the faith of the gospel: "Under God, I owe my conversion to you; not through anything special that you said, but because you never would give up hope of me." Even if inquirers should turn wholly away from us, we may reach them "by the way of the throne."
