James 2:14-26 What does it profit, my brothers, though a man say he has faith, and have not works? can faith save him?… Dr. Guthrie, in his autobiography, describes an odd character among his Scotch country parishioners at Arbirlot "who died as he lived, a curious mixture of benevolence and folly."

"Oh!" was the reply, "I ken that as well as you; but I just want to show them my goodwill."
