Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? A converted Jew, pleading for the cause of the society through whose instrumentality he had been brought to a knowledge of Christianity, was opposed by a learned gentleman, who spoke very lightly of the objects of the society and its efforts, and said "he did not suppose they would convert more than a hundred altogether." "Be it so," replied the Jew; you are a skilful calculator; take your pen now, and calculate the worth of one hundred immortal souls!"
