Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Christian Character
I have been much arrested of late by Acts 5 I 3 'and of the rest durst no man join himself to them; but the people magnified them.' Just What believers should be among men. The quest1on is not, Shall we put out this or that person from our society but, shall we not so live, so speak that no man who 18 not in reality 'of us' durst Jo1n himself to us?
An exceedingly suggestive comment. What so effectual guard can be placed upon the purity of the church as a holy life in each of its members? There is a kind of Wholesome repulsion in true sanctity of character which holds the worldly aloof from it; and hence a godly membership is the best warden a church can have for protecting it against the accessions of the unconverted.
