Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rule of Christianity: In Regard to Conformity to the World: A Sermon, Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, March 4, 1833
Opinions. Every Christian may have an interpretation, and a doctrine Of his own. Every Christian denomination may have its own rules. One will insist on con fining it to the feelings and general spirit Of the man; another will maintain that it refers only to the vices, and pomp and crimes Of the world; a third will extend it to its gaieties; a fourth will affirm that it extends to every article of apparel; and a fifth to the ordinary intercourse, and courtesies of life. Many will demand that the rich shall abandon their houses, and their furniture, and their equipage, and come down in all these things to the level of their neighbours. And many of the rich may deem their neigh bours unduly self-indulgent in their manner Of life. All Of us can see some things in] which we judge others to be too much con formed to the world; and most Of us have many perplexing questions pertaining to our own duty as Christians, and to the demands.
