THE CURSE QF PARTISANSHIP.
IZionV Herald, Metbbdlst.
"Nine out of ten moral and religious persons,
who are not connected, wit h the church in any ,
oflits branches,when aseif why thiey have nev- J
er4 associated themselves with the organ
ized body of Christ's followers, will reply that
they have been repelled by the self-seeking,
unchristian spirit manifested by somany pro-'
fessjng Christian j It is the curse of partisan
ship clinging, to the body of Christ's followers,
ever since the Bid day' when' the A ponies:
wrangled over the question who should b
greatest in the new kingdom. This greed for
preference spreads from individuals to party.
and froxp party to church, and from church tu
sect. It is the most unlovelv thini? in the hi I
tory of the Chrisl ian organization, and alas t -&
prevails to-day almost if not iiuite, as much a
it,ever didis The church .militant is like a hol-
low square of infantry with bayonets turned
inward instead of outward. The strifes which-
agitata the church to-day are nearly all with-
n its own ranks. Religious partisans are so-
blinded by their own hand-to-hand conflicts.
that there is little; time or strength left for the '
wide battlefield of the worjd. Would that the
church might, at some time in its history! pre
sent a wholly united and unbroken front to the
hosts of sin and worldliness; But that time
will never come until the partisan in religion
drops his' pitiful pewter blade of contentious
nessi and, grasping the bright sword of faith
and consecrated zeal' tnrns to fight the legionsv
of Satan which swarm on every hand."

"There isjust now a great outcry against
creeds; -There may be some reason for it, as
when they divide a- small community! into a
