Sectarianism and opposition
In the record of nineteen centuries, there are sects many but not enough Christianity. Centuries ago re- ligionists were ready to hail an anthropomor- phic God, and array His vicegerent with pomp and splendor; but this was not the manner of truth's appearing. Of old the cross was truth's cen- tral sign, and it is to-day. The modern lash is less material than the Roman scourge, but it is equally as cutting. Cold disdain, stubborn resistance, opposition from church, state laws, and the press, are still the har- bingers of truth's full-orbed appearing.
A higher and more practical Christianity, demonstrat- ing justice and meeting the needs of mortals in sickness and in health, stands at the door of this age, knocking for admission.
