Excerpt from The Gospel and the Child

For years the writer has laboured under the sad but settled conviction that much of what passes for Christian upbringing, though fairly enough entitled to the designation of religious, cannot be justly denominated gospel.

Under the name of Christian there seems not unfrequently employed a system of instruction, which so conceals the doctrines of the Cross beneath an ostentatious regard to the professed vindication of the Law, that such training might be well described as legal rather than evangelical.
