Saral had an innovative idea to attract women to hear the Gospel by teaching them to knit with pink wool, believing this would endear them to her and make them more receptive to discussions about Jesus. However, Amy Carmichael disagreed with this approach. She asserted that the Gospel is a powerful message that stands on its own merit and does not require additional incentives or tricks to draw people in.

Amy emphasized that the true essence of the Gospel lies in its ability to transform lives and save souls without needing embellishments. She felt that relying on superficial tactics could undermine its message and integrity, asserting that faith should be presented simply and sincerely, without adornments that might distract from its true purpose.
