The world does not read the Bible nor come to church to hear the minister. All it learns about Christ and the Christian life it must learn from those who bear Christ’s name and represent him. If all church-members lived truly consecrated lives — holy, beautiful, separate from the world, loyal to Christ in business, in pleasure, in all things — it is impossible to estimate what the saving power of the Church would be in example alone. It is an awful thought that professing Christians, by the inconsistencies of their personal lives, lead souls to reject the Saviour. We are all responsible for the influence of our example. Our lives should be New Testament pages that all could read.
