Hypocrisy is a compound Greek word literally meaning the actor on the theatrical stage playing an unreal part, painted and dressed like a Comanche Indian and at the same time a citizen of Ohio. Hence in religion it simply means a person who playsChristian when he is full of sin from top to toe, and his whole life flatly contradicting his profession to his everlasting shame; as Christian has, no meaning but a soul saved by Christ as His work is to save people and it is utterly impossible to be a Christianand at the same time a sinner. When we contemplate the 600 millions of people in the world, calling themselves Christians, and even the preachers, bishops, and ecclesiastical magnates, telling you that they are full of sin and commit it incessantly inthought and deed. No wonder infidelity is alarmingly on the increase, as the hypocrisy in pulpit and pew is fearfully and appallingly driving theworld on to infidelity.
