Religious Enthusiasm

By H. Clay Trumbull

If a man gives himself up to money making, or to the pushing of business plans, and drives at it year in and year out, he is a “very enterprising fellow.” If he is carried away with political partizanship, he is “a wide-awake citizen.” If he lives for pleasure, and pursues it recklessly day and night, he may be called “a little fast.” But if he is in dead earnest in his purpose to honor Christ and to save souls, then he is “a religious enthusiast,” or a “fanatic.”—H. Clay Trumbull.
