The fact that "each one of us shall give account of himself to God" ought to induce you first, not to influence others unduly, or try to be their conscience for them, for they have to answer for themselves and you can not answer for them; second, not to endeavor to blame your guilt on any one else, since that can by no means clear [184] you; and, third, not to put your confidence in the goodness of the family or congregation to which you belong, since that can not help you if you individually have not truly served God. When that day comes, God will single us out.
