We cannot conceive of any act of true self-denial, which will not be productive of the present, as well as future good of the person who performs it. It is the dictate of every man's reason, that his giving up his own personal good, for the good of others, or for the glory of God, will be productive of greater good in this life and in the life to come. Let a good man labour and suffer ever so much for the good of others, or the glory of God; the good of others and the glory of God will afford him a happiness which will over-balance all his painful labours and sufferings, and certainly be productive of a greater present and future happiness.
