"Well, I must confess," said Jake, "that Robert's confession puts
religion in a new light to me. With Robert religion is the main thing.
He has family prayers night and morning; he is honest and scrupulous,
and now when he sees he has done me a wrong he has come right over
and made it right. I am not much of a Christian either, if that is
Christianity."
"Jake, what good is water baptism if our lives are not changed?" asked
Kate. "I have just been thinking of the members of our church, and
I am not trying to ignore their good qualities, but I do not know of
more than two or three that I would ask to pray for me if I were going
to die. They gossip, dress in all the latest fads, go to dances and
theaters, rarely attend church, and are just like the worldly people
around here who belong to no church. Is this Christianity? Why, Jake,
when we had our bazaar, you remember, four of the sisters fell out
and have not spoken to each other since.
