There is generally too much
backsliding. We all do it too
much. It is a habit that grows
on people. With the cold and
lukewarmness of our churches
and church oiiicials we may ex-
l)0ct the weak brother or sister
to stumble in the spiritual dark
ness into the pitfall of sin by the
wayside dug out there by the
devil himself. We are losing the
power of being our brother’s
keeper. We can’t even keep our
selves—that is “in the straight
and narrow way.’’ Three times
