About the Book

Excerpt from The Christian Profession: A Sermon Preached in the American Presbyterian Church, November 24th, 1867

A Christian is the highest style of man. You may plaster the body with tinsel and teach it genteel manners; you may store the mind with knowledge and educate it to exquisite taste; you may make a man up right and moral, a true friend and a kind neighbour but even this falls vastly short of the Christian stan dard. This is fashion's idol, without the soul of piety - the golden candlestick without the light - the frame, but not the picture. Do not misunderstand me; it is well to be upright and moral. Morality is vastly im portant. Without it, a man becomes like a tree with a hollow trunk, fair without, but with ants and reptiles and rotten wood within, ready to fall before the first tornado of temptation. Morality is important, yet moral principle is to Christian faith only what the dry chan nel of the aqueduct is to the living fountain, that can fill it and supply the wants of thirsty thousands.

Piety implies morality of the highest and purest kind. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, is the second of its two greatest commandments. Without this, piety is like a body that has been bled to death, or a frame from which the bones have been taken. Chris tian piety implies morality, but it implies much more than this. It requires not only fair morals, but a renewed heart; not only just dealings with men, but truth and duty to the God of truth who reads the heart; not only integrity and justice and brotherly love, but faith and charity, humility and a holy conversation. Do no man any wrong, is the behest of morality; Do all men good, is the command of religion. Keep off the stains of vice, says the one; put on the robes, not only of virtue, but of holiness, says the other. Morality bids you, pay your debts to your neighbour; religion urges you to give to all men liberally; accept as a bankrupt sinner, the free grace of God in Christ, and live as one who is bought with a price, no longer your own.
