A sermon-like piece urges Epworth League members to mobilize young people for Christian mission. It stresses the need for moral reform, temperance, and energetic evangelism, highlighting how youth can lead in churches, communities, and nations, with calls to prayer, fellowship, and action.
The article describes Paul’s desire to visit Rome to preach the gospel and the establishment of an Italian church community led by a centurion of Angus Cornelius. A building for worship was funded, and efforts to welcome Italian immigrants in the United States and promote Christian citizenship are noted. The text also references mission work in Boston and other great cities across the continent.
The excerpt warns that a person’s actions and thoughts, even unseen by others, shape their character and destiny. It argues that every idle want becomes a habit and every habit a character, implying future outcomes mirror current sowing and reaping. The prose emphasizes inevitable personal consequence over external judgment.
The piece contrasts desires with real needs, urging reduction of wants to achieve peace of mind and success. It argues contentment, trust in God, and daily gratitude yield richer wealth than riches, and calls for church-centered community life with social and literary activity for youth.
