For whatever profession any man may make, it will ever appear that he who doeth good is of God -he alone is the person who uses rightly the grace received from God, and he alone shall enjoy the Divine approbation; While he that doeth evil ] He who is unfeeling, unmerciful, unkind, hath not seen God -has no proper knowledge of that God whose NAME is mercy , and whose NATURE is love .
