Perfection.

THE following item furnishes a good specimen of the ideas of some people on the subject of sanctification or Christian perfection:—

“The Rev. J. Hyatt Smith says that he recently received a letter exhorting him to be perfect, ‘that the writer folded it into a newspaper, wrapped it so the manuscript could not be seen, and then put a one-cent stamp on it. That man wrote six pages on sinless perfection, and then cheated the government out of two cents.’”
