1058. CARPET CHRISTIANS.

CARPET CHRISTIANS.

A carpet knight is one who has been dubbed a knight, not because of his military exploits, but on account of mere court favour. He bears the name but lacks the nature of a true knight. Many in like manner are dubbed with the name Christian because of their kindly, genial character, but who know nothing at all experimentally of the fight of faith or "overcoming by the blood of the Lamb" (Rev_12:11).
