inglés term

...which would otherwise have slept

inglés al español Arte/Literatura Religión 19th century text
It may be a sadly true that "one sinner destroyeth much good;" but it is also a blessed truth that one zealous Christian can do much good. Yes: one single zealous man in a town,--one zealous man in a congregation,--one zealous man in a society,--one zealous man in a family, may be a great, a most extensive blessing. How many useful ministries such a man sets a going! ***How much Christian activity he often calls into being which would otherwise have slept!***
