“So, that is my reason for putting this money–God’s, not mine–into this powerful agent for doing as Jesus would do. If we can keep such a [Christian newspaper] going for one year, I shall be willing to see that amount of money used in that experiment. Do not thank me. Do not consider my doing it all a wonderful thing. What have I done with God’s money all these years but gratify my own selfish personal desires? What can I do with the rest of it but try to make some reparation for what I have stolen from God? That’s the way I look at it now, I believe it is what Jesus would do.”
Charles H. Sheldon, excerpt from In His Steps (Philadelphia: Judson Press) 111.
