A man once came to D. L. Moody with a long list of theological questions. Mr. Moody said he would answer if the man would do one thing. “What is that?” He asked. “Well, you go and give yourself to the Lord and become a Christian; then come to me with your questions and I will answer them.” The man went away, and in a few days came back and told Moody that he had done as he told him, and that they were the happiest family in the city. “Well,” said Moody, “where are your questions?” “O, I have none now; they are all answered; it is all plain now.”
