Living Secretly for Christ

By E. P. Ingersoll

It is both a daring and a dangerous thing to try to live secretly for Christ. It breaks off the sprouting tendrils of the new life, and so there can be neither bud, blossom, nor fruit. A light shut up tight in a lantern only soots and burns that which contains it. So it is with the soul. It is its nature to shine forth; but turned back upon itself, it dims and dies.—E. P. Ingersoll.
