Description

"The gospel wastes no time in making distinctions between sins, but aims straight at remedying the great fact of sin as it exists everywhere. Nor does it leave us in doubt as to its method. It assumes its own power to purify anything, and therefore lays down as its great law of operation, the law of contact ." -Rev. Marvin R. Vincent, Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Troy, N.Y. "We are not a Presbyterian, and we are all the more rejoiced at seeing this manly and sensible protest against the narrow bigotry, which in so many quarters passes for religion, coming from a Presbyterian clergyman. Nothing makes so many real sinners as calling that sin which is no sin….It is patent to the most careless observer, that a change has come over the spirit of the religious world; that the attempt must be given up by the sectarian to prescribe his neighbor's creed…We cannot say how much we rejoice in this change. Believing that true religion consists in love to God and love to man, in reverent obedience to the inward laws of conscience which no earthly power of sect or church has any right to control, we long ago came to Mr. Vincent's conclusions as to the purely mischievous effect of the view held by so many really good people in regard to innocent amusements, that it truly is 'the inclemency of the godly' which more than any other influence tends to make young sinners. Mr. Vincent well says that his Church would have done better if it had been 'less afraid for the purity of truth' for now 'Christians shrink from an experiment so bold, especially after so large a proportion of amusements has been usurped by the Devil through their neglect to interfere. The Church is shy of a faith in the power of good which loves eating and drinking, which sits at the table of publicans and sinners….' "Mr. Vincent's account of the rooms of the Troy Christian Association is very interesting….We do not agree with all the little book contains, but we hope it will fall into the hands of many teachers." -The Massachusetts Teacher, Volume 20, 1867 Contents Preface. Religion And Amusement. The True Nonconformist. The Church And The Young Man. Thoughts For The Clergy on the Amusement Question.
