"If
we comply with it, by brethren and sisters, or my friends, if all men
and women would comply with it, then they would have shed into their
souls such light, and peace and joy, that the riches of the world
would sink into insignificance beside it. So long as they bask in the
light of the Spirit, there is nothing on earth would tempt their feet
to stray in forbidden paths. Then would they know the virtue of
newness of life, then would they feel the freedom that comes when men
accept the truth, and their sins have been forgiven and stripped from
them. Then would they realize the promise which Christ made when He
said: 'This gospel is not
Mine but His that sent Me; and if any man will do His will he shall
know of the doctrine whether it be of God or whether I speak of
Myself.' When men have that
assurance and testimony, they are strong in their hearts to do the
bidding of God, and pity the sneer of the skeptical. They would pity
those who do not see and understand, and would give all that is theirs
to bring them to the knowledge of the truth; and they are rich in the
possession of this truth, beyond the riches that the world can
conceive or give."

Report," October 1908, p.27

And that is the touch-stone of virtue with the Christian today. Does
he walk by faith? Is he willing to accept the words of the witnesses
of the Christ and the words of the Master, and not desire to handle
and see for himself as did Thomas? For I want to tell you that when
a man has to do a thing, there is no virtue in it. But when he
chooses to, when he exercises faith and confidence, then there is
virtue and righteousness in it. - Joseph
E. Robinson, “Conference Report,” April 1915, Outdoor Meeting,
