There is a great deal of worldly policy and prudence in the Christian church. There are those who shrink from duties through timidity or fear of the consequences. There are those who are restrained from taking the right side of important questions, or boldly declaring their beliefs, through motives of practical expediency. Too many professing Christians lack courage to speak to others about their spiritual interests, fearing rebuff. The money question, it must be confessed, weighs sometimes in the balance in the shaping of the course of Christian men, the decision turning on the answer to the question, "What will be the effect of this or that course on my business or on my social standing?" We all know well that such worldly policy ought to have no place among the motives that away the minds of Christian people. The only desire should be to know what is right, what is duty, what is the will of God. To be swayed by any other influence is to be unfaithful to our Lord.
