Growing in Grace – JC Ryle

Confess Our Sins – Alan Redpath

Everyone is a missionary (for good or for evil) – Thomas Chalmers
Every man is a missionary, now and forever, for good or for evil, whether he intends or designs it or not.

But a blank he cannot be: there are no moral blanks; there are no neutral characters.
