Christian industry is just the outlet of a fervent spirit, a Christ-devoted heart. The industry which is not fervent is not Christian, and, on the other hand, the love which does not come forth in action, the fervour which does not lead to diligence, will soon die down. He who has an eye to Christ in all he does, and whose spirit is full of that energy, that love to his work and his brethren and his Master in heaven, which the Holy Spirit gives, will not soon weary in well-doing.
James Hamilton — Life in Earnest: Six Lectures on Christian Activity and Ardour, new ed. (London: James Nisbet & Co., 1878), Lecture VI, "A Word to Each and to All.—Conclusion," p. 81
