Charles Simeon kept the picture of Henry Martyn in his study. Move where he would through the apartment, it seemed to keep its eyes on him, and ever to say to him, "Be earnest, be earnest! don't trifle, don't trifle!" And the good Simeon would gently bow the the speaking picture, and, with a smile, reply, "Yes; I will be in earnest; I will, I will be in earnest. I will not trifle, for souls are perishing and Jesus is to be glorified."
"And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified." John 12:23
