now is the time for Gods people to show themselves true to principle. When the religion of Christ is most held in contempt, when His law most despised, then should our zeal be warmest and our courage and firmness most unflinching. To stand in defense of truth and righteousness when the majority forsake us, to fight the battles of the Lord when champions are few - this will be our test. at this time we must gather warmth from the coldness of others, courage from their cowardice and loyalty from their treason.
