His Conscience Hur, Him.


Although it has been twenty-five
years since the incident, the quick
ened conscience of a converted man
would not permit him to rest, and he

converted and his conscience hurt him
because he had taken 81 that did not
belong to him and he wrote to ask
forgiveness and make restitution. The
SIS was to repay the original amount
and interest to date.
