It is to be deeply deplored, that the world has
made such sad inroads into the territories of
the visible church.
The love of ease,
the love of splendor,
the love of worldly distinction,
the love of family comforts--
have greatly destroyed that spirit of self-denial which should practically operate in every believer in Jesus. Every Christian should be ready to leave all, and sacrifice all--for Christ.

Many will venture their all in some profitable
financial speculation, which promises a large increase
of worldly prosperity. But happy indeed, is that
man who can venture all for Christ in faith
and love. He may lose all that the
world calls great
and good;
but he shall receive, through
the merits
of the Redeemer--an unfading crown of glory!
