Example We Set
Illustration★★★★Leslie D. Weatherhead tells of a rather pompous missionary bishop who visited an Indian community to examine candidates for baptism. The candidates were gathered together by the missionary, whom we will call Mr. Murray. The bishop asked the first native: “What is it to be a Christian?” Expecting a theological answer of some sort he was surprised to hear the candidate exclaim: “To live like Mr. Murray.”—In Quest of a Kingdom
The point
Missionary bishop examines Christian candidates; one native answers 'To live like Mr. Murray.' Character is the truest expression of faith.
