The Crucifixion of Philip Strong

CHAPTER II
19/28

In this particular matter, I believe it is not only my right, but my duty to speak.

I would be shamed before my Lord and Master if I did not declare His will in regard to the uses of property.

This question passes over from one of private business, with which I have no right to meddle, into the domain of public safety, where I have a right to demand that places which are fatal to the life and morals of the young men and women of the town, shall not be encouraged and allowed to subsist through the use of property owned and controlled by men of influence in the community, and especially by the members of Christ's body.

My brother," Philip went on, after a painful pause, "before God, in whose presence we shall stand at last, am I not right in my view of this matter?
Would not Christ say to you just what I am now saying ?" Mr.Bentley shrugged his shoulders and said something about not trying to mix up business and religion.

Philip sat looking at the man, reading him through and through, his heart almost bursting in him at the thought of what a man would do for the sake of money.
