The working of Christianity is not less seen in small than in great things. It needs no grand or public theatre in order to display itself. It is the light that, wherever it may be, cannot remain hidden under the bushel. Indeed, what Christianity is, is best seen in this, that it fills with heavenly glory vessels despised or esteemed as nothing in the eyes of men—a glory which far outshines all earthly splendours; that it pours into them the powers of the world to come, beside which all the powers of the earth are nothing.

Augustus Neander — Augustus Neander, Light in the Dark Places: or, Memorials of Christian Life in the Middle Ages, from the German (New York: Lane & Scott, 1851), "Christianity in Poverty and Lowliness, and on the Sick Bed," p. 146
