Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: the one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: but the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defense of the gospel. (Phil. 1:15‑17)
A true witness delivereth souls. (Prov. 14:25)
And, as the path of duty is made plain,
May grace be given that I may walk therein,
Not like the hireling, for his selfish gain,
With backward glances and reluctant tread,
Making a merit of his coward dread —
But, cheerful, in the light around me
   thrown,
Walking as one to pleasant service led;
Doing God’s will in delivering souls
Only trusting in His care and His strength
   alone!
