To her sincere and earnest spirit anything in the nature of a sham was peculiarly offensive; and what, she often asked herself, could be more un-Christlike than this service which had been held in his name?
Dear knows what YOU must feel yet, Tillie and what all your little life you've been feelin', with his fear always hangin' over you still. Sometimes when I think how my brother Jake trains up his childern!" indignation choked her "I have feelin's that are un-Christlike, Tillie!"
But the benevolence here spoken of is not the mere natural sentiment, which often exists in great energy in men whose moral nature is, in other respects, so utterly un-Christlike that their entrance into the kingdom prepared for the righteous is inconceivable. Many a man has a hundred vices and yet a soft heart. It is very much a matter of temperament.
I want then to combat with all my power this ancient but un-Christlike belief that women miss their object in life if they are not wives and mothers.
I will go so far as to say that I can more easily understand the atheist than I can many of my own friends who pathetically try to love and adore their capricious un-Christlike Deity. To my certain knowledge many of them are doing it against their own natural and better instincts, because they dare not forsake the tradition in which they have been dyed.
But whenever I thought of returning to your society, I remembered the jealousy of many, the contempt of all, the conversations how dull, how foolish, how un-Christlike, the feasts how unclerical!

"Why, you have been serving her every blessed day since you first loved her.
This bitter opponent of Christianity, this unsparing denouncer of all that he held most sacred, THIS was the man for whom he was sacrificing friendship, reputation, advancement. A feeling of absolute disgust rose within him. For a moment the thought came: "I can't have any more to do with the man." But he was too honest not to detect almost at once his own Pharisaical, un-Christlike spirit.
When Jesus Christ was on earth, it is recorded, 'He could there do no mighty works because of their unbelief, save that He laid His hands on a few sick folk and healed them. A faithless Church, a worldly Church, a lazy Church, an unspiritual Church, an un-Christlike Church which, to a large extent, is the designation of the so-called Church of to day can clog His chariot-wheels, can thwart the work, can hamper the Divine Worker.
