And good action isn't reserved only for those whose own behavior is nearly perfect -- they're the least in need of it! The people in this army are imperfect, it's true -- like you and me, and like Brett and Sami and Tojar and Toma," he says, listing a few of the people in town who have been moved by his steadfast example of goodwill and good action. "But they clearly have a sense for the holy, and I expect I'll do more good encouraging that than assuming each of them is incapable of change for the better."
