| | Pensees: Life and Letters of Henry Martyn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | The Life and Letters of Henry Martyn has long been in the ranks of one of the most influential biographies for servants of God in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and I think that it will continue to be in our new century. |
 | | Martyn, however, “was deeply conscious that it is God that giveth the increase, and when he did not see, or thought he did not see, that increase, he meekly submitted to the Divine will, and patiently continued in well-doing. |
 | | At such times, also, more particularly would he turn, with joyful thankfulness, to the contemplation of the successful labours of his brethren in the ministry; for he had no mean and unholy envy respecting them; nor had he what is so often allied to it, an arrogant or domineering temper towards his flock” (p.411). |
