no man had a right to be a minister
would would sell himself for a suit Of
clothes. No man had q right to be a
public officer if he was an ungodly
man. What right had man to be a
physician il he was not a Christian?
Or what right had man to be law
yer if he was not a follower of the
law as laid down in the scriptures ?
Or a merchant, or man in any other
vocation in life? He knew men who
wouldn't come to church and never
give anything for the support of the
church. He did not think that such
could rightly expect the confidence
and patronage of the people, and as
far as he was concerned, he had just
about come to the conclusion that
they should not have his.
Along this line he spoke of the duty
of the chief citizens to be Christians
and of the wonderful influence for
good in the community which they
would exercise if they we're Chris
tians and of the incalculable harm
which they would do if they were not.
