Sam P. Jones used to tell of a man down in the spring branch
trying to clear the water, so that he could get a clear drink.
This man was doing all he could to filter the water, when some
friend called out to him: “Stranger, come up a little higher and
run that hog out of that spring, and it will clear itself.”
Unless life’s sources are clean, it is of little use to labor with
external conduct.
