Reviving a Sinner’s Spiritual Life

IN attempting to convert a sinner from the error of his way, one should be as careful as though he were endeavoring to revive a rapidly expiring fire. Not trundle in a scuttle-full of dogmas all at once, so that the faint spark which gives indications of spiritual life is so overwhelmed by the mass, that it can with difficulty force its way through it, or perhaps is smothered entirely; but drop a truth here, a maxim there, always striving to keep the spark alive. Fan it, but do not blow it out.
