WHAT CONSTITUTES A CHRISTIAN.
A truthful soul, a loving mind Full pi affection for mankind ; A spirit firm, erect, and free, That never basely bends the knee. That will not bend a feathe-'s weight Or slavery's chance for small or great; That truly speaks from God within, That never makes a league with sin. That snaps the fetters despots make, That loves the truth for its own sake ; That worships God, and Him alone, And bows no more than at his throne And trembles at no tyrant's' nod, , A soul that fears no one but God,i And thus can smile at curse or ban — This is the soul of the Christian man. W.S. To Awamntu, August 7, J. 884, ?
