Duties and Charms

By Dean Stanley

DUTIES AND CHARMS. We urge the duties of Christianity upon the consciences of men; but duties are constraints till they are changed into charms by love. The very word duty is a harsh one, until the heart grasps it, and then the lowliest service and the boldest endeavor are cheerfully accepted and welcomed. To win men to the performance of Christian duties, it is necessary to win them to the love of Him who requires them, and to the love of those for whose benefit they are required.—Dean Stanley.
