Excerpt from Body and Soul, Vol. 1

It is the fashion of the age in which we live to mistake the outward show of seriousness and gloominess of deportment for the effect of true religion, and to determine on the merits and demerits of all "who call themselves Christians" by their professions and appearance, without sufficient regard to principles and doctrine. Hence it is, that one part of the Evangelical world excludes from the pale of genuine religion all who have a cheerfulness of manner, and a liveliness of spirit; because, they say, these are signs of a carnal and unconverted mind.
