'"People quote various words of the Lord," said the Bishop, "as containing the sum of the Gospel--the Lord's Prayer, {186} the Sermon on the Mount, and the like; to me the essence of the Gospel is in simpler and shorter terms: _me phobou, monon pisteue_.[2] Ah! Westcott, mark that _monon_," and his eyes were filled with tears as he spoke.' Ah! S----, mark that _monon_! . . . God bless you in your new work and make you a blessing to others as you have been to me. [1] He had been offered work in South Africa. [2] 'Be not afraid, only believe.'

K._ _St. Thomas's Home, St. Thomas's Hospital: August 28, 1903._ . . . I am most grateful for your kind words, though I know full well how little it is that I have done for you. We clergymen so often seem to be working in the dark. There are no clear results to show, as _e.g._ a doctor can comfort himself with, when he has visibly cured a patient. And I for one am too easily inclined to despair, and to wonder whether the work is not in vain. But 'trust is truer than our fears.' Yet it does me good when I feel I have done anything, however tiny, for a man. After all, results are best left in God's hand. He gives us enough to help us the next step onward, but not enough to exalt us, and to make us think we can do anything without His assistance. Work 'in the Lord' cannot be in vain. I am glad you have been reading Bishop Westcott's life. He was a man of God, and his life is an inspiration, and a prophecy of what our life may--nay, some day--will be. . . . I like that passage {187} when he goes to see his old schoolmaster, Bishop Prince Lee, who tells him with tears in his eyes that to his mind the whole Gospel message is summed up in the words '_me phobou, monon pisteue_.'
