“that say unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of
heaven!” S. Matt. vii. 21. Although
many call themselves Christians, and make use of the name, yet not all
shall receive the reward. Both Cain offered sacrifice, and Judas
received the kiss, but it was said to him, “Judas, betrayest thou

fillest up thy wickedness with the pledge of affection, and sowest
hatred with the implement of peace, and inflictest death with the
outward token of love.
