Have moral courage. Be willing that the whole world shall know that you are a Christian, that you are a disciple of the Lord Jesus; and that, God helping you, you are determined to serve him faithfully till you die. Consecrate to his service your time, your talents, your property, your influence, your all. Let your language be the language of the converted soul, "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" And if any of you be called to serve him in the ministry of the word, yield promptly; yield cheerfully, and say with Isaiah, "Here am I, Lord, send me." But, if not called to preach the gospel, be sure, that in whatever station you may be placed, the full weight of your influence shall be on the side of religion and morality.
