Individuality

Individuality.—"We shall all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ." Every man "shall give account of himself to God." Rom. 14:10, 12. We shall not be asked what were the rules of this society or of that organization to which we may have belonged. We shall not be asked what was conventional in society, how our neighbors did, or how the church taught. All those things will avail us nothing. We are responsible alone to God. All conventionalities of society, all the influences of men, singly or congregate, will be of no worth in that day when God shall make bare the hearts of men. Then it behooves us now to learn our duty here, our responsibility to Him, our obligations to His law. These will be paramount then; they ought to be paramount now. If they were, they would make the better man, the better neighbor, the better member of society.
