A Quaker Woman Wonders if Godly Living will Attract Unbelievers to her Religion
A GODLY QUAKER came up to her pastor and said, "Pastor, I think, and wonder if you do also, that if one lived beautifully and walked correctly and stayed away from evil that others seeing us would be inclined to love our religion?" The pastor replied, "Sister, if you covered yourself with a coat of feathers white as the driven snow, and if you had a pair of wings as shiny as those of the angel Gabriel, there would be somebody, somewhere so color-blind as to shoot you for a blackbird."
