After showing the general trend of Christendom, and the increase of apostasy in that which once
professed to hold the truth of God’s Word, a writer, in a letter written quite a number of years
ago, states, in conclusion, and in humility:

"We have the truth. I trust we have it in oat hearts. Let us use it, by holding fast Christ’s Word,
and not denying His Name. We are set, every one of us in our different and humble spheres, for
the defense of the Gospel, and let us by every means circulate the truth that corrects these evils.

"Let us not be ashamed of the testimony of the Lord. The great corrective is the truth as to
Christ’s Person and work_a true Christ_God and man, and the atoning merits of His sacrifice.
These let us rejoice in, meditate upon, and speak often one to another of, and to the needy world
around.

"Let us hold fast the lost and ruined condition of men; that it is not teaching they need, but
salvation, and when the enemy comes in like a flood the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard
against him. To be ready for all this we must be with our blessed Lord and Master, serving Him
and one another in true love. Honoring Him He will honor us (with this, of course, we must hold
fast to the whole Word and every word of God.)

"What an opportunity our lives are. May we step in and fill up the breach, serving God and our
generation in our day. Prof. Drumond has had great influence towards the down grade through
his beautiful way of neutralizing the real application of God’s Word. He so glibly applies, in true
Unitarian style, the precious truths and exhortations which belong only to the Christian, to the
unconverted, to man as such. Thus he denies the lost state of man negatively in all (I suppose) of
his earlier books. Even Christians, very many, not noting this important thing, have been carried
away by its beautiful manner and now he has them nearly evolutionized."
