Henry Ward Beecher says, 'There was a man in the town where I was born who used to steal all his firewood. He would get up on cold nights and go and take it from his neighbours' wood-piles. A computation was made, and it was ascertained that he spent more time and worked harder to get his fuel, than he would have been obliged to if he had earned it in an honest way, and at ordinary wages. And this thief is a type of thousands of men who work a great deal harder to please the devil than they would have to work to please God.'
