    in his own selfish affairs is a coward to the backbone, will
    fight for an idea like a hero. . . . I tell you, gentlemen, if
    you can shew a man a piece of what he now calls God's work to do,
    and what he will later call by many new names, you can make him
    entirely reckless of the consequences to himself personally.
