"Many indeed there are, who, while they bear the name of Christians, are totally unacquainted with the power of their divine religion. But for their crimes the Gospel is in no wise answerable. Christianity is with them a geographical, not a descriptive, appellation. In strict propriety of speech, they are no more Christians, than the unconverted savages, who roam through the trackless deserts of America."
