The profession of infidelity is very common in

our day. I am constantly meeting with those who give as their reason for not

being Christians that they do not believe in the Bible. There are many

preachers, most excellent and gifted men, who think that infidelity is not

worthy of attention, that the proper way to treat it is to ignore it. I do not

agree with them. Infidelity is common enough, and active enough, and

destructive enough to demand attention. While I do not for a moment think that

the cause of Christ or the Bible has anything to fear from infidelity, I do

know that individuals and communities are being greatly injured by it, and we

owe it to them to expose its real character, to point out its consequences, and

to show its cure.

I have had no

greater joy now for some years than to be able to lead many men out of the

confusion and wretchedness of infidelity into the clear light and abounding joy

of an intelligent faith in Christ and the Bible.
