When You Become Converted

THERE is a large class of professing Christians whose Christianity is limited to a desire to be saved. They are always anxious about the extent of indulgence in worldly pleasure allowed to the Christian. Their burden consists of a dread lest they exercise a little more self-denial than is absolutely necessary, and thereby lose some coveted pleasure. A lady of this class once asked her pastor if he really thought it would be wrong for her to attend a certain dancing entertainment. She wanted to go ever so much, but would not go if she were right sure that it would be wrong. The minister replied, "My dear sister, when you become converted you won't ask such questions." And that sentiment covers the whole ground.
