"Not Far from the Kingdom of God"
[...]
[...] One man wrote to Mr. Vaughan in these most touching words:—
I am always very thankful to you for your kind exertions to save my soul from eternal ruin. I am not one of those who hold that Baptism is merely an outward ceremony, and not required for our salvation, yet such is my weakness that I cannot make up my mind to sacrifice a little earthly comfort for its sake. I am fully aware that I am pursuing a wrong course, and that if I wait for a "convenient time" that time may not come to me at all; but what shall I do? I have been delaying for a long time to confess openly the Saviour to whom alone I look for salvation. I need nothing to be convinced that I am doing wrong, and yet I cannot go up boldly to you to receive Baptism.
