Practice vs.. | heoIy.
ARGUS,

Mr.. EDIroR:--I believe the theory Of most men to
be better than their practice. propose in this COM
munication to notice some few cases to substantate
this view of the subject, and show how practice eXers
an influence over theory and destroys greatly par
alvzes its influence on ourselves and others.
And first our theory as it respects the Bible Is
much better than our practice those great truths
and it always has been So full belief in the exist
ence of God represented in the Bible, is generally
admitted; still most men in practice deny such pow
err and exalt self on the throne. The doctrine incu
Gated by our Savior and received theoretically, while
practically we deny theory For instance we all
agree that the mission Of our Savior to is correct
in all its provisions and requirements and still our
practice gives it the lie. We agree it presents the
Importance of Repentance towards God and Faith in
our Lord Jesus Christ, and still the practice of far too
many detracs from, Or destroys the influence of such
theory-some perhaps in one way and some in anoth-
er.-Somc, while viewing the rich provisions of the
Gospel, that promises pardon to every penitert in
practice say, can live in total neglect of the only
means of Salvation through life, and then Just at the
close of my earthly will repent and be saved
Others who believe the theory, practically say it
makes no difference whether we repent and believe or
not, we are all safe, and each calculate to enjoy this
life and the next in the best possible manner and still
practice in such way as tends to destroy their peace
this life and the hope of the future. But this is not
olny true as respects our duty to our God, but 1t Is
equally true as it respects duty to each other we
all agree that we should do by others as we would
have them do by us in exchange of circumstances,
and still our practice says we will take of one
and leave othors to take care Of themselves The
