Excerpt from Progress in Christian Culture
This book bears a close relation to "Plain Answers to Religious Questions Modern Men Are Asking." The earlier volume bore on salvation, - how the individual and his associates may be saved. "Progress in Christian Culture" bears on sanctification, - how the saved Christian may acquire the graces of his Lord.
Christian Culture has never yet had the attention it must have before the days of ideal Christianity arrive. We have rightly emphasized the vital nature of redemption. Many have felt that the Christian, assured of eternal life by his confession of faith in the Saviour, could disregard lesser things. We do not think so to-day. We are insisting that Christian men shall be Christian gentlemen in the best sense of that old-fashioned word; that they shall commend the Gospel they profess to believe by the life they lead.
Growth in grace comes in old-fashioned ways. Soul culture comes not from worldly experiences. Bible Study, Prayer, Self-Sacrifice and Christian Service are four pillars by which the chaste structure of Christian Culture is upheld; they make up the rich soil out of which the blossoming, fruit-bearing tree of Christian Culture grows.
