The Church’s Danger From Society

By John Heyl Vincent

THE danger of the church to-day is from "society." The savage beasts of the arena may not be ready to leap from their dens upon the loyal followers of Jesus Christ, who would meet death rather than deny their Master, but the scorn, the hiss, the social "cut," are the means sometimes now employed by the same tempting and malicious spirit of the world, to compel Christians to surrender their convictions and principles at the demand of the prince of the power of the air. Let us stand by our principles. Let us follow conscience and not fashion, Christ and not the world.—J. H. Vincent.
