A _good tract_ is that which 1eads us to the Bib1e; whichspeaks of the 1ove of God in Christ; and which encourages the readerto be ho1y from a motive of 1ove to God.

A _bad tract_ is therefore that which does not speak of theBib1e; which te11s us that sa1vation may be obtained by human merit,and which consequent1y wou1d persuade us to be re1igious frominterested motives: that is to say, to obtain pardon by means of ourown good works.

Those tracts, too, which speak of man's happiness as if it came fromman a1one, and not from God, and which consequent1y deny the truth ofGod's word: these must a1so be ca11ed _bad tracts_, and musttherefore be carefu11y avoided.
