DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Discourses on the Christian Spirit and Life Is there a business-man, of whatever religious repute in his sectarian or theological circle, With his name standing however high on the roll of believ ers or saints, who yet regards his religion like his Sunday garment, as a thing to be left out of his shop or counting-room, lest it be soiled there in the rough hands of the world? There will be a littleness and disingenuousness in that man's secular proceedings, exposing him, if not, alas the religion he professes, to contempt. Religion is not so dainty about herself as this sub scriber of her creeds, and observer of her forms, is about her. She is ready to go, with the whole power and splendor of her celestial presence, into the com monest scenes, for the adjustment of the humblest matters. This separation of religion and business is no fiction, or supposed case for the sake of argument and moving appeal. I have known one in the very heat of religions enthusiasm, and with the most sacred names upon his lips, defraud a poor woman in the performance of a stipulated service, without seeming to imagine there was any inconsistency.
