Maintaining a High Moral Standard
591
“Why,” asked a man who had been and still was practicing wicked-
ness, “are souls converted to the truth through my influence?” I an-
swered, “Christ is constantly drawing souls to Himself, and flashing
His own light in their path. The seeker after salvation is not permitted
to read the character of him who teaches him. If he himself is sincere,
if he draws nigh to God, believing in Him, confessing his sins, he will
be accepted.—
