Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Origin and Principles of the Christians
When that day comes, and come it will, as certainly as that the sun continues to rise and the world to move forward and upward when denominational rancors and jealousies shall cease; when all Christians shall turn from trying to surpass one another to real fighting against sin and evil; when all Chris tian forces shall stand marshalled shoulder to shoulder for the promotion of righteous ness and the Spiritual life in Jesus, as denomination after denomination wheels into line to take its place in that magnificent Christian host under the standard of our Prince Immanuel, the principles on which they will come together, and the name under which they all will serve, will be the very same as those which our Christian churches have advocated and proclaimed all these years. Every day the churches generally are approaching this position. Every day they are deploring the evils of division. Every day they are planning new enterprises in which all who love the Lord can work to gether. And when they reach the point that they really wish to stand side by side, there will be this difference between the Christians and the others, that they all will have to surrender something or other to enlist in the united army; while the Chris tians will have to surrender nothing, for they have been camped on this Union Ground from their earliest beginning.
