Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Revival Thermometer: Or, Gauging One's Spiritual Worth
Jesus Christ gives a perfect salvation, which produces perfect character, while the mere moralist claims a character which demands salvation upon the ground of its worthiness. The minister, with his glad tidings of salvation through Christ, has a message even for an audience of convicts, while the moralist, with his salvation by character, would only mock the distress and despair of men who know that their characters do not even commend them to immrfect men, much less to an infinitely holy God.
