"We believe that the church on the
whole is purer, better, more Christ
like in the twentieth than in the six
teenth century, and in the sixteenth
than in the second or even in the
first; that it is nearer the ideal of the
Master in St. Louis or Warrensburg
than in Corinth or in Ephesus. This
is not to say that it passes beyond
the theoretical apostolic church, but
beyond the practical; not beyond
the primitive Christianity, but beyond
the primitive church; not beyond the
apostolic and Christian ideal, but be-
yond the Jewish, Greek and Roman at
tempts at realization"
