ZEAL.
It is only through a burning zeal for the salvation of the lost—a zeal glowing in the heart, and flashing out in the look and action and utterance—that the confidence of unbelief can be overcome, and the heedless travelers of the broad way won to the path of life and happiness. Love is the most potent logic; interest and sympathy are the most subduing eloquence.
—The Christian at Work.

It is a coal from God's altar must kindle our fire; and without fire, true fire, no acceptable sacrifice.
