Quote by Billy Sunday

Hypocrites in the Church? Yes, and in the lodge and at the home. Don't hunt through the Church for a hypocrite. Go home and look in the mirror. Hypocrites? Yes. See that you make the number one less.


Hypocrites in the Church? Yes, and in the lodge and at the h

Summary

This quote suggests that instead of solely criticizing and seeking out hypocrisy in religious institutions like the Church or organizations like the lodge, individuals should reflect on their own actions and integrity. It implies that everyone has the potential to be a hypocrite, and the focus should be on personal self-improvement rather than pointing fingers. By acknowledging one's own flaws and striving to be more genuine, the aim is to decrease the prevalence of hypocrisy in society.

The like we may observe in seamen, who it may be trembled at first, and now can sing in a storm.Scarce any thing is more necessary for weak and timorous believers to meditate on, than the time of their separation. Our hearts will be apt to start and boggle at the first view of death; but it is good to do by them as men use to do by young colts; ride them up to that which they fright at, and make them smell to it, which is the way to cure them. Look, as bread, says one, is more necessary than other food, so the meditation of death is more necessary than many other meditations. Every time we change our habitations, we should realise therein our great change: our souls must shortly leave this, and be lodged for a longer season in another mansion. When we put off our clothes at night, we have a fit occasion to consider, that we must strip nearer one of these days, and put off, not our clothes only, but the body that wears them too.http://www.iclnet.org/pub/resources/text/ipb-e/epl-10/web/flavel-pneumatologia07.html
