A WRITER asks the following pungent questions: When the following classes were taken out of our churches, how many would be left? All who will not pay just debts. All who are hypocritical. All who are deceitful, and talk about others behind their backs. All who go into debt without a prospect of paying the same. All who are proud and scornful, holding themselves above their fellow-men, and shunning those who are less fortunate than themselves. All who worship money more than they do their Creator. All who speculate on the ignorance of others. All who think more of a wicked rich man than they do of a pious poor one. All who oppress the poor. All who make long prayers for the sake of being heard and seen of men. All who are vain and self-conceited. When these, and a good many others that could be mentioned, are taken out, some churches will be left without a member. The religion of Jesus does not have any of the above defects. 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 of doing good to the weak and humble, and of being kind to all as opportunity may offer. Oh, that we had less pretension in our churches, and more genuine Christianity! —Tenn. Baptist.
