"Our heavenly Father is more liberal in His views, and boundless in His mercies and blessings, than we are ready to believe or receive ... God does not look on sin with [the least degree of] allowance, but ... the nearer we get to our heavenly Father, the more we are disposed to look with compassion on perishing souls; we feel that we want to take them upon our shoulders, and cast their sins behind our backs."
