A WRITER in the Church Union asks the following pungent questions: When the following classes are taken out of our churches, how many would be left? All who will not pay their just debts? All who are hypocritical? All who are deceitful, and talk about others behind their backs? All who go in debt without the prospect of paying the same? All who are proud and scornful, holding themselves above their fellow-men, and shunning those less fortunate than themselves? All who worship money more than they do their Creator? All who speculate off of the ignorance of others? All who sell intoxicating liquors to make money? All who think more of a wicked rich man than they do of a pious poor one? All who oppress the poor? All who are vain and self-conceited? All who make long prayers for the sake of being seen and heard of men? When these, and a good many others that could be mentioned, are taken out, the 'church' will be left almost without members. The religion of Jesus does not have any of the foregoing effects. It makes the true convert cheerful, hopeful, and charitable, disposed to visit the widow and orphan, and to keep unspotted from the world. It does not make one proud and scornful, but on the contrary, makes one desirous to do good, to be meek and humble, and to be kind to all, as opportunity may offer. Oh! that we had less pretension in our churches, and more genuine Christianity!
