Excerpt from Tracts of the American Tract Society, Vol. 9: General Series Lord, what wilt thou have me to do This was no doubt the incipient breathing of a heart submitting to Christ; the first lifting up of the soul to God for instruction in duty, accompanied with a determination to obey the command, be it what it might, prescribed in the answer. This is the spirit of the Christian. It commences in his unreserved submission to Christ, marks his career of self-denying effort through life, and attains perfection in heaven. But there is, especially, one branch of Christian duty, which, in this state of spiritual action and conflict, must ever excite a deep and absorbing interest; it is one for which this same converted Saul was greatly distinguished: consecration TO christ, IN labors for the salvation OF A world.
