WHAT THE GOSPEL WILL DO, 139 
keep all we have, and be without the Bible: 
and yet this is their sad condition. 
Do not say I am speaking at random 
when I say that the gospel will do for the 
heathen what it has done for ns ; for physi- 
cal, social, moral, intellectual and natural 
elevation are the legitimate results of the 
gospel everywhere. To have doubts as to 
whether it will affect the hearts and con- 
sciences of any people, when it is preached 
clearly, perseveringly, and in the demonstra- 
tion of the Spirit, is to doubt the veracity 
of God's word. What God has promised, 
he will most surely accomplish.
