Running in Debt.

The Herald of Gospel Liberty says:—"I hold that no man can be a Christian and recklessly contract debts with the probability that he cannot pay them. To this it may be answered, “A man may honestly fail in business and, therefore, be unable to pay his creditors; how as to him?” I reply that no one should create an obligation without the clearest certainty of being fully able to meet it promptly. If one should fail after being carefully prudent in his business transactions, and surrenders up all his assets to relieve his creditors, then there is some mitigation.”"
