The Church: Its Organization, Order and Discipline

Test of Character

“The fruit we bear is the only test of the character of the tree before the world. This is the proof of our discipleship. If our works are of such a character that as branches of the Living Vine we bear rich clusters of precious fruit, then we wear before the world God’s own badge as his sons and daughters. We are living epistles known and read of all men.” - Ibid., page 104. COOD 35.1
