The Gospel, rightly understood and cordially embraced, will inspire the slothful with energy, and the fearful with courage. It will make the miser generous, melt the churl [rude] into kindness, tame the raging tiger in the breast, and, in a word, expand the narrow selfish heart, and fill it with a spirit of love to God, cheerful unreserved obedience to his will, and benevolence to mankind.40
