A MAN who unites with the church, and takes upon himself the vows which it imposes, thereby professes to be a Christian, and the world has a right to expect him to discharge the duties and fulfill the obligations which that profession necessarily implies. Every time a man acknowledges himself to be a member of the church, and approaches the communion table, he proclaims himself a Christian, and acknowledges his obligation to lead a Christian life. It is not the manner in which the profession is made, but the fact that it is made, that lays him under this obligation and gives the world a right to expect his life to correspond with his profession. Members of the church would do well to consider this, and to remember that the eyes of the world are upon them, and that men have a right to expect their lives to be in harmony with their profession, and that their inconsistencies bring a reproach upon themselves and the church.—Sel.
