ligion Is not of narrow, contracted
character. Because we state we have the
gospel In Its fullness and have the
authority to administer Its ordinances.
and therefore this church Is the one way
to life. we do not imagine ourselves TO be
greater than any other. or that We have
no sympathy with them. that We do not
recognize tho good that there Is In all
