A UNIVERSALIST once asked a minister, if God was willing that all men should be saved. He answered it by asking him this question, "Do you believe God is willing that all men should live moral and virtuous lives in this world?" Of course he had to answer affirmatively. Then the preacher again asked, "Do all men live thus?" After a little hesitancy he answered, "No." Then said the preacher, "According to your own reasoning, the will of God is not accomplished. But to answer your question more fully: God is as willing that all men should be saved as that all men should live virtuously. If you mean by will, a design, or determination, then I would say that God has not determined that all men should maintain good moral lives; for if he had, they would. Nor has he determined to save all, if he had, all would be saved." —Sel.
