they must come under one head and
the same name. The Gatling guns
should as we'll be rolled out and war
declared. There are some people
who would not give up the name of
their church or associate with men,
bers of some other church for the king
dom of heaven. The Baptists and
Methodists would not eat together and
the Primitive Baiptists and the Pres
byterians would not go in swimming
to gether, and thus it would go and
there would be fight before night.

have to take up the matter and the
preachers would 60 out on a strike
