Excerpt from The Spirit of a Christian Life: A Tribute to the Memory of Rev. John M'clintock, DD., LL. D., President of Drew Theological Seminary Who have been the leaders, the reformers. The thinkers, the heroes of mankind? By what process was there being built up the Platos, the Ciceros, the Pauls, the Burkes - giants Of their kind? Was it by dreams and visions, by Sloth and self indulgence? Grew up Luther's noble heart in ease? Was Wesley's iron fiber the product of repose? You have communed with great men to little purpose if you have not learned that, however else they may have differed, in one respect they were all alike. 0 Their sinews grew by labor. The record of their lives is but a register of their deeds. Endowed by nature, it may have been, with high powers, they did not suffer them to lie rotting in indolence, but with manful heart and strong hand fulfilled their mission of labor by day and by night. Their works do follow them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
