“I know nothing, by experience, of party discipline. I would rather be a raccoon-dog, and belong to a Negro in the forest, than to belong to any party, further than to do justice to all, and to promote the interests of my country.

In our own presentation of Christ's gospel, therefore, we need to lay a similar stress on the cost of following Christ and make sinners face it soberly before we urge them to respond to the message of free forgiveness. In common honesty, we must not conceal the fact that free forgiveness in one sense will cost everything.” NeedsFactsFacesFoundInterestChristCommonHonestyCostMessagesStressLaysCrowdsFollowingSinnerUrgesGatheringPresentationFollowing Christ Author:J.
