The Joy of Winning Souls
Proverbs 11:30
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that wins souls is wise.


Bishop Harold Browne of Winchester once said that among all the joys which had been given him in the course of a long and busy life, none had come with a deeper thrill, or had remained so freshly in his heart, as the joy he had felt when, as a young curate, he had been for the first time the means, through God, of leading a soul to peace and trust in Christ. This is a joy which all can have, if they ask for guidance in the work of influencing others for God.

(F. E. Toyne.)
