Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gleanings From Our Vineyard: Seven Lectures
You would laugh at such an interdiction against music, and declare it madness. You would question the sanity of those people, who, in their anger at harmony-slaying voices and instruments, would think all music evil, and would have all music banished or exterminated.
This is precisely the course which men, even rational men, have taken against religion. Shocked by a knowledge of the evils done in the name of religion, by so-called religious men, they do not content themselves with wreaking vengeance on the abusers, but also fall most unmercifully on poor, doubly abused Religion. They would, if in their power, with one thrust of the knife, deal the death-blow at Religion, and relieve the world of it forevermore.
