Gone Metaphysics Mad.
Oh. nv friends, the curse Of God on
the church, it seems to me, in this day
is metaphysics. We speak in an I'M

and i'll our religious assemblages, and
in our pulpits, and how can people be
saved unless they can understand us!
We put on our official gowns, and we
think the two silk balloons tapping at
the elbows of a preacher give him great
sauctity. The river Of Gods truth flows
down before us pure and clear as crys-
tai. but We take our theological stick
and stir it up and stir it up until you
cannot see the bottom. Oh, for the SIM
