This however is surely clear, Christ's fort must be held the more firmly, the flag must be flown the higher where Satan's set is." By all means let have breadth of mind and sym- pathy and outlook for the require ments of the new time.

Go one short file with the world and the devil, and you will find yourself compelled to stop long leagues in their company though your very soul may loathe it.
