Christianity Is Activity

By John G. Woolley

Christianity is not a cocoon, but wings. I weigh very little, I can not lift much, but I can carry the pollen of the garden of the Lord from life to life and touch them. What comes of it to them interests me certainly, but is no charge upon me. Christianity is activity. Toward God alone I must be passive; as to all mankind, it is the positive current of my life I ought to emphasize. In God's hands alone I must be clay, but as to every man a potter. So, through the whole circuit of my life, I am to be a giver. What I get will be the gift of God.—J. G. Woolley.
