NO COMPROMISE IN TRUTH.
By Editor
COMPROMISES are the order of the day. They are manifest in business. They are manifest in politics. Sad to say, they are manifest in religion, and that where principle and conscience are at stake. Yet there never can come a time in the experience of Christians, Christian associations or corporations, when they can afford to compromise for one moment an iota of5truth or justice or honor for aught the world can bestow or that seemingly is to be gained by the compromise. We are not to do evil that good may come. There are methods of work, there are ways of propagating the Gospel, when compromises may be made between men of decidedly different opinions, without affecting honor, truth, or justice, even tho selfish dignity is humbled. Here the Christian should be willing to compromise. If his brother must have a crutch to walk with, let him go a little slower. But when the honor, the integrity, the purity, or the principles of God or His cause are at stake, never. Compromise in the one case is disloyalty to God; in the other, it is “submitting one to another in the fear of God.”
