Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Mr. Carnal-Security

"The soul, lacking watchfulness, and heeding not the timely cautions of the Prince, permits the principle of Carnal Security to spring up. This is a corrupt element of our carnal nature, the offspring of spiritual carelessness and self-conceit. This principle is the result of the fallen nature of man—the consequence of pride, self-sufficiency, and self-righteousness, tending to the grievous decline and downfall of the soul’s spiritual health."[2]
