When a trustworthy companion is maligned or accused, the truth must be defended

Even a casual evaluation of the world today can lead to utter pessimism. But the Christian has no right to be a pessimist. He knows God and His Son. He knows, as a child of God, that the Lord ultimately controls life.

Man may reject or discredit the blood of Christ but he does so to his own eternal undoing. Much as a bloodless religion may appeal to the esthetic sense, it is as dead as an exsanguinated corpse!

The distinction between the redeemed and the lost is as real as that between life and death, between light and darkness. Maintain this distinction and the Christain witness stands as a lighthouse for all to see. Fit Christianity tinto the world's pattern of conformity and instead of life there is the pallor of death.
