"No, no, lad.  Don't for a moment indulge in such an erroneous, foolish notion, put into people's heads by the spirit of evil himself, to deceive them.  I tell you we were sent into the world not only to abstain from sin, but to do as much good as we can--to actively employ ourselves--to look about us to see how we can do good,--not to wait till some opportunity occurs that may never come.  But we are certain to find some good work if we look for it; and if your heart is right towards God, and you earnestly wish to serve him, and not the world, and not yourself, he will point out to you what to do."
