“A perfect practice of Christianity would, of course, consist in a perfect imitation of the life of Christ -- I mean, in so far as it was applicable in one's own particular circumstance. Not in an idiotic sense -- it doesn't mean that every Christian should grow a beard, or be a bachelor, or become a travelling preacher. It means that every single act and feeling, every experience, whether pleasant or unpleasant, must be referred to God.” ShouldMeanFeelingsChristianCoursesGrowsChristPerfectChristianityPracticeParticularCircumstancesPleasantPreacherImitationBeardBachelorsIdioticPerfect Practice Author:C.
