The Church Drawing Nearer the World

"Is it not because, while the world has apparently come nearer to the church, the church has really drawn nearer to the world?

Things which are, perhaps, not unlawful in themselves, have become a snare to the great mass of professors of religion. The world has smiled upon them, and they have too often been fascinated by its smile."
