By J.G. Bellet

      1. We may so walk as to have ourselves in the presence of or in company with the Lord.

      2. We may act so as to bring our fellow-saints or fellow-sinners into His presence or into His company.

      3. We may be living so as to be keeping ourselves before our fellows and companions.

      The first is the way of the worshipper.

      The second is the activity of a true servant.

      The third is the fruit of vanity, and want of single-heartedness, and will surely keep us uncertain, without joy or strength, and prove a snare as well as bitterness in the latter end.

      Christian Friend, vol. 13, 1886, p. 305.
