I have read of one who did not fear what he did, nor what he suffered, so that he might get riches; "For," said he, "men do not ask how good one is, or how gracious one is, but how rich one is." Oh, sirs, the day is coming, when God will ask how rich your souls are; not how rich you are in money, or in jewels, or in land, or in goods, but how rich you are in grace; which should provoke your souls to strive, in face of all discouragements, to be spiritually rich.
