The first apologists never missed the weight of this great argument. They pointed confidently to the Christian life as the overwhelming evidence of the Christian faith. They pointed to the probity and courage and faith and purity and devotion of Christ's people. A Christian made a better servant, a better master, a better workman, more faithful to duty, more reliable in all the relations of life. They were better husbands and wives and parents and children, better citizens also, as it came to be seen even against the mass of prejudice in the minds of rulers. We are missing a great opportunity if we do not follow out the practical implication of our faith. What do ye more than others? is our Lord's demand. It is a call to consecration of our whole nature and life, to make life religious, and to make religion life.
