Col 331 (1900)
Christ has given us no assurance that to attain perfection of character is an easy matter. It does not come to us by accident. A noble character is earned by individuals effort through the merits and grace of Christ. God gives the talents, the powers of the mind; we form the character. It is framed by hard, stern battles with self. Conflict after conflict must be waged against hereditary tendencies. We shall have to criticize ourselves closely and allow not one unfavorable trait to to remain uncorrected.
