There are so many sorts of conversion. It is conversion when the faithless soul
believes; and it is conversion when a little faith becomes a larger faith. It is conversion when bad men become good
men; and it is conversion when good men become better men. It is conversion when hands that hang down
are lifted up; and when the lame and erring feet are turned back into the
way. It is conversion when the business
standards of the world are exchanged for higher and more human standards; and
when the decision to do the brave and honourable thing forces itself within a
worldly mind.

Silvester Horne. Lyman Beecher Lectureship on Preaching delivered at Yale
University, 1914.
