Excerpt from Improvement Era, Vol. 6: May, 1903There are good qualities in every soul. We seldom meet any one who is wholly determined to do wrong, though there are some who deliberately abandon themselves to lives of sin, and lose all regard for virtue and integrity. From such we should keep our distance, because, unless it is our duty to associate with them, they will probably do us more harm than we will do them good. Most people, however, are trying in their own way to do right. They fail in many things, because they are not strenuous enough, or do not know well enough how, to do what they ought. They have inherited weaknesses from their forefathers, or have become weak through their own transgressions. When the gospel comes to them, if they earnestly desire to do the will of the Lord, He pleads with them through His Spirit and leads them to understand the truth. When they accept the gospel, they receive both under standing and strength. Their strength may not be very great at first. They may feel the old sinful tendencies within them, but if their faith has been real and their repentance sincere, they are able to stand. As time passes, the doing of/the simple, plain duties of the gospel brings more strength. They grow a little, and though they may not notice it, they become established in the truth, and. Gain power over themselves.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
