Excerpt from Portrait of a Christian, Drawn From Life: A Memoir of Maria Elizabeth Clapp
Most of those who are called Christians, and who are not undeserving of the name, are called so in a qualified sense. You do not doubt that they sincerely believe in Christ, and love him; that they wish and try to keep his precepts and that their characters are improv ing under his in?uence. They have many virtues, perhaps some shining virtues. They keep themselves aloof from the follies and sins of the world. They give their testimony on the Side of religion, and illustrate its divine doctrines by many deeds of righteousness and charity.
