Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Strictures on "a Sermon Preached Before the Presbyterian Church, at Cheraw, S. C., Jan. 20, 1839, by J. C. Coit, Pastor of the Church"
My attention is next arrested by a long paragraph, commencing on the 17th p., and running nearly to the foot of p. 18, and which, were it not for respect to its author, I would term a complete rigmarole; but as Mr. C. Has written it, I will touch a point or two. What madness of infatuation is it for us to judge ofthe genuineness of a Christian profession, by human criteria at a time when a man's religion is determined, not by his faith and principles, &c. But by the length of his face, the length of his tongue, the length of his legs, the length of his arm, and the length of his purse. Truly, if these be the criteria in religious concerns among the peo ple with whom Mr. C. Labors, I don't wonder that he fears his la bor has been in vain; and though his congregation may regard them as criteria in such matters, I think he may rest assured they are not so esteemed any where else.
