Suffering
for the Guilty
"You
say you don't believe in the innocent suffering for the guilty.
Then I say to you, you haven't seen life as I have seen it up
and down the country. The innocent suffer with the guilty, by
the guilty and for the guilty. Look at that old mother waiting
with trembling heart for the son she has brought into the world.
And see him come staggering in and reeling and staggering to
bed while his mother prays and weeps and soaks the pillow with
her tears over her godless boy. Who suffers most? The mother
or that godless, maudlin [drunk] bum? You have only to be the
mother of a boy like that to know who suffers most. Then you
won't say anything about the plan of redemption and of Jesus
Christ suffering for the guilty.
