Lives of Great Men
51
Who can measure the results to the world of Paul’s lifework? Of
all those beneficent influences that alleviate suffering, that comfort
sorrow, that restrain evil, that uplift life from the selfish and the sensual,
and glorify it with the hope of immortality, how much is due to the
labors of Paul and his fellow workers, as with the gospel of the Son
of God they made their unnoticed journey from Asia to the shores of
Europe?
What is it worth to any life to have been God’s instrument in setting
in motion such influences of blessing? What will it be worth in eternity
to witness the results of such a lifework?
