Character

As she would be infinitely foolish who would build her character without thinking of the natural forces that will try its strength [like hurricanes!], so is he cursed with insanity who builds his character without thinking of the fire with which God will try every man's work.

[E.g.] God will go through our money to see if it has been honestly obtained. He will search our reputation, and our hypocrisy will not be able to conceal the reality of the case from His all-seeing eye. He will examine our title-deeds . . . .
