most beautiful to behold because

her God, by child-like faith in Him
rather than by a theory or philosophy.
If anything will avail with God these
will, and l do not believe any officious
interference by elder, priest, superin-

Nevertheless not my will but Thine

pared for the separation if it must come.
The entire weakness and wickedness
of the implications in this letter and in
this new denomination is that the great
millions of Gods people are hypocrites
and failures, and that they themselves
have special power with God, and a sort
of monopoly or trust on Gods blessings.
OF all the trusts and monopolies in the
world, a religious monopoly is the
worst, but such has ever been the
foundation of all priestcraft.
