"The battle does us
good. The conflict educates us, strengthens us, establishes
us. It is necessary that we be grounded and settled and finally
approved and rewarded. One of the best results of temptation
is that it shows us what is in our hearts. Until temptation
comes, we feel strong and self-confident; but when the keen
edge of the adversary's weapons have, pierced our souls, we
have more sympathy with others and less confidence in our
own selfsufficiency."
