MR. KEMP'S MISSION.
(To tbe Editor.) Sir.—lt speaks ill for real Christianity if it is not stirring up virulent hostility in more than one quarter, and it io not to be expected that the hostility will be straight Tiie modern tendency is to whittle down the truths to please the public ear. This is not an age that breeds martyrs, but it is rather one of miserable and, unsuccessful attempts to mix oil and water. The two will never agree. The experiment ruins both. The greatest need to-day is a clear-cut line, a sharp and distinctive emphadie between good and evil. Not a vacillating compromise between the self-life and the Christian life in the human soul; for it is this that makes it so offensive and loathsome to our Lord, and ruins the spiritual life. " Nonsense charms the multitude, plain truth is despised." In proportion as we find our all in Christ, we are enabled to "sit loose" to the world's judgments and values, caring little for its praise or blame.—l am, etc., GEORGE WINSTAXLEY
