If I believe that, why don't I pray for Bob, so that he'll be converted?
I _do_ pray for him always, but it's kind of half-way praying--kind of as if I thought it was a pretty hard thing for God to do after all.

That's wrong.

God wants him safe, and He knows he isn't safe now, and He's willing to help him; it must be my fault that He don't.

My business and lessons, and all that sort of thing, are putting Bob and Ellis, and even father, pretty much out of my thoughts.

That's wrong too, and must be stopped.
