D.L. Moody once called on a leading citizen in Chicago to persuade him to
accept Christ. They were seated in the man’s parlor. It was winter and coal
was burning in the fireplace. The man objected that he could be just as good
a Christian outside the church as in it. Moody said nothing, but stepped to
the fireplace, took the tongs, picked a blazing coal from the fire and set
it off by itself. In silence the two watched it smolder and go out. “I see,”
said the man.
