but they have this conscience thing

It works hand and glove with faith, otherwise one spins one's wheels.

I remember when I was a child there was a Jiminy Crickett about conscience. I can’t remember the details, but I think there was a good creature telling someone to do the right thing, and a bad creature trying to tempt him to do the wrong thing. Seemed there was a little song to go along with it.
