Our one object in sending forth this little book, ii to promote the cauic of ••pure and undeflled religion" We are profoundly convinced that the prcaent is an age of shams and superficiality. The great arch deceiver hu coined iniiutions of Christianity, which, in some respects, so closely resemble the pattwit of Jesus Christ, that " he would deceive, if possible, the Very elect." Everywhere we see men blinded by " the god of this world." So far as expcriraenul godliness is concerned, the great (pass of the people are practically heathens. Hence, the great need of publishing, tar and wide, the pure, illuminating, radical truths respecting salvation from sin. A few sections scattered throughout -the book, are choice selections from able writers on important themes. Most of the matter, however, was originally written for the Aadica/ ChrisHan , but it has l.een considerably -revised and enlarged, specially for publication in the present form. To all lovers of pure religion, we earnestly appeal (o aid us in the circulation of this book. By the agony and bloody sweat of God's dear Son."; by the streaming blood from his pierced side; by the awfuhiess of an end- lesii hell; by.the vastness of an approaching eternity; And by the priceless value of immortal souls ; O help us in this effort to spread salvation truth throughout the Jand. Wiil you help f Will you ? WILL YOU ? We do most fervently hope that this huipble treatise wiUshed holy light on many a benighted soul; and bring around a wide spread tevival of primitive life and pof^er. With this prayer, we send it forth to the world, on its mission of truth and of love. ; '^ ^ ' ' . — The Author. — - ■^• iiii'.--^*ls5fi:ia^ «.4 book, if cligion " s an age iiver h$M respectt, hat " he rywheie So far rpais of le great linating, >ok, are themes, itten for derabl/ in the appeal ! agony earning in end- emity ; help us >ut the treatise ; and ifeand world. iOlt f' PART l-Popular Religion. Chap. i. -EMPTY PROFESSION. Talking religion, professing religion, putting on t good appearance, and crying " Lord, Ix)rd,'' is not heaven- born religion. If this constitutes religion, then Christ would not have condemned the Scribes and the Pharisees, as hypocrites and whited sepulchres. Who has ever made a louder pi^ofession i^^ligion than they? Or who— of our modem professiW^has exceeded them in . rigidly conforming to the externals of religion ? If fair words and a specious profession, mean religion ; then Christ would have had no need to declare, that those, who think of fitting themselves for heaven by so doing, are awfully deceived. Yet, how great the number, who vainly misUke plausible appearances and a sancti- monidlis ffhoW, for the religion of th4^ Bible 1 Do not think it is impossible to deceive yourwlf in this matter. Christ most solemnly affirms that; ''Maiu|^^%iU fay ta me in that day, ' Lord, Lord, have we npt^rt)phesied in ^hy name? And in thy name have cast out devils ^^ And in thy name done many wonderful' wo)^ ? ' And then will I 'profess unto them, I never knew you. Depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matt. 7:22,83. Morality is good; but morality of itself is not reli- gion A profession of religion— when it is the natural £Vl«WJ. _W -a^imq-- > outcome of the grace q( God in the •oul^—te alio good, But, to put on the garment of profewion, and to beiieve that we thua cbnititutc ounelvei Chriitiani, ia to build our hopct for eternity upon a foundation of land-Hi foundation that will, at death, totter and crumble beneath ui, and sink ua into everUating ruin. " Not every oo« that laith unto me, ' Lord, Lord,' shall enter into the kingdom ef heaven ; but he that doeth the will of ay Father which ia in heaven."— Matt. 7:ai. Chap. 1.--SPURIOUS CONVERSIONS. Men love accurity. Other thingi being equal, they give a decided preference to the lafe side. They apart neithw pains nor expense to guard against possible calamities. For this reason, insurance companies of all kinds carry on a profiuble business. There is generally an instinctive fear of the future. Upon the brink of eternity the boldest stand and tremble with an indefinable dread of their impending doo'm. „ . *♦ Why .brink* the soul Back on henelf, and startles at dettmctlon ? Tis the DivinitTthat ttin within as ; 'Tis heaven itself that poinU out an hereafter, * And intimates eternity to num. Eternity I— thou pieaabg. dreadful thought I Through what variety ofuntried being, Through what new scenes and changes must we pass t Tne wide, the unbounded prospect Ues before me } But shadows, clouds and darkness rest upon it I ' Such is the sentiment of humanity as expressed by this tavorite poet. Any system that gives plausible promise of carrying man safely through this darkness into the unclouded light of eternal day, will have its votaries. The iiiore plausible the promise, and easier the con- "■ Ions, the greater will be the number of adherents.

Francis Xavier, the celebrated Jesuit missionary, made more converts irt.one year than John Wesley did in the whole count of his .ministry. Make the standard of Christianity sufficiently low. and you can very easily multiply sidherents. Give to men an assurance of heaven, without requiring them to deny thcmsetvea, and take up their cross daily and follow Jesus amid reproaches and persecutions, and many will be found eager to embrace the advantageous offer. That many who profess religion may yet fail of being truly converted to God is apparent. I. From the declarations of our Saviour : Afui thin will I projtss unto thimj rnvtr kneiv you ; depot t from mt y4 ^^jJf'^^ iniquity. — Matt. 7:23. Mark this lan- guage, ^^e does not say you have backslidden. But \ NBVBR KNEW YOU.' Then, of course, they were never converted, (i.) This class is very numerous—" Many.'' (a.) They make a high profession of religion. (3.) They were deceived to the last *' Many will say to me in that day, (the day of judgment), ' Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied inr thy name ? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name have done many wonderful works?'" The same lesson is taught us in the parable of the ten virginSi The fo«lish virgins did not lose their oil — they did not take it. They had the lamp — the pro- fession — but the grace they never had. They, too, were not flagrant hypocrites, but wei^e self-deceived. If there is any truth clearly taught in -the gospel, it is the very great liability of our being ^deceived in regard to our h J ⅈ. :.A, being converted to (;od. ••The rooliih man who built hii hoiiM upon iht wnd." itandt u a repretenutive of thoM who i|)end their live* aa respectable memt>er« ol the church, but who build their high proTcMio^ upon unconverted hunuin nature a« the foundation. f. Many oT thoie who proTew to be converted imrtt bear the marki of conversion. " By their fruits ye shall know them," is the criterion which the Master himself gave* for the puriiosc of ascertaining here who are his true followers. It is not " judging." in the sense in which it is forbidden, to apply to ourselves and others the te«t which he has given. But that many conversions are spurious it evident, because— (i.) The so-calltd converts do not truly repent of their sins. They have no godly [sorrow— no deep, sin- cere sorrow because of their transgressions. They never exclaim, like Paul, • O wretched man that I am I who shall deliver me (torn the body of this death ? "—Rom. 7:t4. Tbey never cry out, like David, " There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger ; neither is there any rest in my ^es bccauie otmy lia For mine iniquities are gone over' tkune head ;\s a heavy burden they are too heavy for me/— Ps. 38:4. You never hear anything like this from them. On the contrary, they act more like patrons than penitents. Their whole bearing would seem to mdicate that they think they are confer- ring a great favor upon the Almighty. They go forward for prayer, and perhaps kneel ; they make no confcwion of their sins, never shed a tear, nor utter a cry for mercy, nor manifest in any way the earnestness of a soul long- ing to be delivered from the danger of hcU. Where they have wronged other% they make n o restitution.

If they were frelAil and impatient before, they are fretful and impatient ttill. If they were the tlavet of tobacco, they itilt defile their bodies with ttt vte. Those who were the devotees of fathion, in any degree, before their totalled conversion, remain, to the tame eitent, "coMormed to the world." The word of tk)d does not (XMseta tufiicient authuri|y with them to induce them to diacontinue, for the take ot Jetut, " the wearing of gold or pftrU, or costly array." If before their profettion, thef were fond of the light, Satanic literature of th« day, they read it still with at much avidity at ever. 'I1ie grotter vices wl^ich would injure their respectability they avoid. . (3.) They are strangers to the Joys of salvation. When they tee othert '• rejoicing, with joy unst)eakahle and full of glory," it looks to them like the wildest fanali- cism. They do not know what it means to have the bictting of the lx>rd upon their soult. What the Joy of the Holy Ghott^nsists in, they have not the remotett conception. The same things that made them happy before their tuppoted conversion maket them happy now, and they feel their lott just as keenly as they did before. (4.) They have no love for closet duties. If they read the Bible and pray in secret, it is not because they have a relish for these means of grace. They hurry through them, and are heartily glad when the unpleasant task is finished. — Close, pointed, s e arching p r eaching <.-t.mMm»mitltt ". -Y ---;,',-"--Wf^f-».-5^^-,T'^^-' ;■»■• r diiturtis them, and they seek the minittry of thoie who speak with enticing words of man'i wiadom. (5.) They are ladly wanting in genuine humility^ Horn ever great an effort they make to appear humble, and however depreciatingly they may talk about their attain- ments and doings, ttill there is so much of self in all they do and say, that it is really painful to a spiritual person to be with them. Their very confessions are full of self They try, at times, to be humble, but the effort is always unsucceuful. They need to be converted to God, and then there will be At all times a subdu^, meek manaer about them. # (6.) They oppose Bible holiness. Let the necessity of entire consecration to God be pressed upon their con- sciences, and the opposition of their hearto will be mani- fey4^*t once. For a superficial, iashionable holiness. ***^r^^ h«vc sympathy, but they manifest bitter hostility against true holiness. Do they give up worldly associations ? They would leave the church befoce they would the lod^ j Secret societies have a stronger attrac- tion for them than the house of God 1 Worldly pleasures draw them with far greater force, than does the beauty of holiness, or the social means of grace. These are some of the marks of a spuriotia con- version. Beloved, will you apply them to your ownex/ periencei and see whether you have indeed truly passed from death to life? Be honest Be thorough. A mistake here, if not corrected in t}ine» will involve the loss of the soul to all eternity. Be sure that yon are a new creature in Christ Jesus. If, through false teachiA& or by any other means, you have taken up with any thing short of a real conversion to God, have the honesty and the courage toconfess the mistake, and begin anew, and obtain, at aiiy sacrifice, a Bible experience. WUl you km your soul through false shame? God forbid. Are you engaged, either as a preacher or a layman, in promoting the work of God ? Beware, above all things, how you " heal slightly " those who are wounded by the Spirit of God. You may do it through sympathy.. But let the old >|^am die, no matter how painful the process. By reportiip a huge number of converts, you may, for the time beiiig, obtain honor of men ; but God wiU call you to account for the manner in which your work is done. Remember, it k written, " Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord, deceitfully," or, as it reads in the margin "negligently J*. . Do you hesitate to deal faithfully with a^rakeqed iouls, for fear they will become discouraged and turn back ? If they are truly awakened, there is not the slightest danger. If they are not, they may better turn back than go in the road of self^leception. Did not our Saviour tell us (Luke 14 :a8) that we should count the cost at the very outset ? O 1 ye, who promote superficial conversions among men, hear the word of the Lord : " Because, even because they have se- duced my people, saying, *»Peace f and there was no peace: and one built up a wall, and lo, otl^crs daubed it with untempered mortdr. * » Therefore, thus saiththe Lord God : r will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fiiry ; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hail stones in my fury to consume it So will J bttak down the wall that ye have daubed with untemp- ered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so the foun- dation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, aiid ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof; and ye ahfH #',"1 iV," r t 'f^Tff' vx 10 know that I am the Lord.f~Eiek. 13 :ioi 4.— i^^mMs/ Cknshan.

When examined in the light of the word of God, the the experience of thousands who profeu this great bless- ing, does not measure up to justification ; and a large number of them are not so much as *' truly awakened." Some time ago a sister wrote, for us her experience, in which she sUted, that previous to her obtaining holiness, she was troubled with snuff-taking, novel-reading and light talking; but that holiness had brought her deliverance from these things. We immediately replied, and told her, that if she had been indulging in those sins up to the time of her attainment of that blessing, she was mis- taken in thinking it was holiness ; it was simply justifica- tion, or perhaps only a sute of conviction. A writer in the Banmr ofHolimss, says ; " It was quite a number of years after I had sought, and obtained a pure heart, before I received the light and conviction, that God required me tQ stop using tobacca" Just imagine a man sanctified by the blood of Christ, and his body a temple of the Holy Ghost, indulging in the wasteful, filthy, ill-scented habit of tobacco-using I What a deception 1 Again he says t " When light came, then it btcame sin for me to use it" , Of course it did. But previous to this moral change, the abstrsct act was wrong ; an4 a conscious guilt must have been felt, proportionate to the degree of light possessed. Does the brother think that God would Justify and sanc- tify a souC and allow him to go on for years, before showing him the sb of such a habit? Such an idea is prepostereus. According to this theory, God would be justifying, a person in sin one mmute, and condemning him for it the next This brother H terribly mistaken iii fupposing that he had no light; aU that time, on the sub- Jcct of tobacco -ming^ He httJ all the light he nccdcgti \ j*< ^. -Sf 7- t.f / li *na that ligi;( wu in God's word. That book told him; '•aeanae yourselvei from all yf/Mm«f tf/ M* yf«>| tnd ■pirit" " Whether, therefore, ye eat or drihk, or what- •oew ye do, do all to the glory of God." '• Glorify God in your bodies and spirit, which ar« his." " Defile not the temple of God. " To say in the face of aU these plain commands, that he had no lig|||t^during all tljose years —revealing the undeanneis in which he indulged, is to affirm what is not truth ; and it reveals his terrible dark- ness and deception. Another writer in the same paper iayi; "I then laid all on God's altar-pipes, tobacco' ' gold chains, foolish talking and jesting -with many othe^ thmgs and habits by which I had been conforming to the ^_^ Two points in this experience deserve to be noticed : i; Notice the sins in which he indulged, previous to his obtaining holiness-" Tobacco, gold chains,.foolish talking and jesting."-See i Peter 3 : 3, 4; 1 Tim. 2:9. Eph. 5 : 4. Here you see, that the wearing of gold, arid fooIUh talking and jesting, are expressly forbidden; as weU as all conformity to the world. It is simply impos- siblefbt anyone to remain justified, who lives in dis- obedience to God's plain cominands. At the very thres- hold of a religioui life, all auch disobedience has 10 be renounced. Thousands of saved souls, in different churches, testify, that even before God pardoned them, they had to abandon all the sins mentioDed above, aa wen as wic^kedness in generil Now, does God offer salvation on easier terms to some than to others? Doa be show partiaUty to some, by allowing them to hold on to a few of their idols? He does, if this brother's experi- ence is true ; but the whole company of prophets and a po a t lei in God*a word unite in saying; "N0«" T he :^d.4 ,iMff^A.t^%j^\ .««iii>**. 'T"?;f*!^3»; unerring book dedaret that " God it no reipec^er o/ pe^ tons." " tie that with I know him, and kcepeth not his commandment!, ta a liar ; and the truth it not in him." I John a: 4. *' IVkasomer ht be ofyou^ that forsaketH not all that he hath, he cannot, be my disciple." The conditions of salvation are the same to one as to another. AU have to take the humbling, self denying, cross-bear- ing road, if they would gain eternal life. All have to get down, and^Uy dowa This brother's justification, pre- vious to His obtainment of that b easing, was certainly not the kind as Uught in the Bible. a. Our brother says that he put all those things upon the altar I If he did, then God 'sanctified a heap of sin,— uncleanness, pride', and worldly conformity ; for <* Whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy." We are bold to say, that God never took this offering ; it would be blasph^y to say h« did. He Ukes what belongs to him ; and what he can use, and nothing else. '* Render, therefore, unto Caesar, the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's." *God will not take sin ; it belongs to the DeviL AlNlhat is sinful and worldly in our conduct has to be put away /torn us ; and not consecrated. Yo^ cannot consecrate either th^ sins of your, life, or inborn depravity. If this is the extent of the brother's ccmsecration, be inade no consecration at aU. He simply gave up his sins and received justifica- tion.

By the term •• flesh," in Rom. 7 ; 7-as, the apostle does not mean the flesh of the body, but " tl^e carnal mind," the natural depravity of the soul. " lliat Paul uses the word " flesh," as a synonym of carnality, is too plain for contradiction, Paul says ta the Romans ; " when we were in the flesh." They had been in the flesh, but were not, when Paul addressed them. Again, Paul sayi, " They that are in thft flesh cannot please God." II " flesh " here means tlff^y, then God required an impossibility when he comnSnded the Colossians to "walk fortiy 0/ the lx)rd unto all pleasing." Still again Paul says; " Kr are net in tht fltih.^ If "fleih," m this instance means the body ; then Paul was addressing disembodied spirits, said to be living in Rome I On the other hand; if " flesh " means de- pravity, carnality, or sin--%nd nothing else can it mean --then Paul was addresing a church saved ftom all sin, though ^living in physical bodies, located at Rome. Wesley says : " A sinful body I . I pray observe how deeply ambiguous, how equivocal this expression is. . There is no authority for it in the Scriptures. The word, sinful body, is never found there. Abd as it is totally unscriptural,80 it is palpably ab8urd,for no body or matter can be sinful. Spirits alone are capable of sin. Pray, in what part of the body should sin lodge?
