"Though One Rose from the Dead" Hear them speak for themselves: "If I had such a temper as So-and-so, what a good man I would be! But with my headstrong disposition, it is impossible. It is all very well to talk to me, but men have different turns of mind, and my turn of mind is such that I could not by any means be a serious character." Others go a deal farther and throw the blame on the ministry. "If," say they, "at one time the minister had been more earnest in preaching, I should have been a better man; if it had been my privilege to sit under sounder doctrine and hear the Word more faithfully preached, I should have been better." Or else they lay it at the door of professors of religion, and say, "If the Church were more consistent if there were no hypocrites and no formalists, then we should reform!"
