Let A Man Begin In Earnest With

There Are Three Things In The World That Deserve No Mercy, Hypocrisy, Fraud, And Tyranny.

I Will Tell You What To Hate. Hate Hypocrisy, Hate Cant, Hate Indolence, Oppression, Injustice; Hate Pharisaism; Hate Them As Christ Hated Them With A Deep, Living, Godlike Hatred.

Now See What A Christian Is, Drawn By The Hand Of Christ. He Is A Man On Whose Clear And Open Brow God Has Set The Stamp Of Truth; One Whose Very Eye Beams Bright With Honor; In Whose Very Look And Bearing You May See Freedom, Manliness, Veracity; A Brave Man--a Noble Man--frank, Generous, True, With, It May Be, Many Faults; Whose Freedom May Take The Form Of Impetuosity Or Rashness, But The Form Of Meanness Never.

But If There Has Been On This Earth No Real, Perfect Human Life, No Love That Never Cooled, No Faith That Never Failed, Which May Shine As A Loadstar Across The Darkness Of Our Experience, A Light To Light Amidst All Convictions Of Our Own Meanness And All Suspicions Of Other's Littleness, Why, We May Have A Religion, But We Have Not A Christianity. For If We Lose Him As A Brother, We Cannot Feel Him As A Saviour.

No One Can Be Great, Or Good, Or Happy Except Through The Inward Efforts Of Themselves.
