A holy Christian is like gold.
Cast gold into the fire, or into
the water; cast it upon the ash
heap, or into the garden; cast
it among the poor or among the
rich; among the religious or among
the wanton heathen--yet it is still
gold, still it retains its purity
and excellency.
Just so, cast a holy Christian, a
golden Christian--into whatever
condition you will, and into whatever
company you will--and still he will
retain his purity, his sanctity! Yes,
the worst times are; the more a man
of GOD studies holiness, and prizes
holiness, and practices holiness!!
