[Todo-manager-cvs] intellect of the present times. One is the corruptions of Rom

[Efren D. <suc...@pu...>]

Act that bloody Rome baptized herself in Christian blood in spite of
all
her tolerance of religion. The apostle met with
sufferings on all sides; and having perfect liberty
of recantation at any moment, how did it come to pass, if he was
insincere, that he did not recant? Was he rational? Let his writing
answer! They are admired
by the best minds of earth. If he was irrational, let us have many more
insane writers! Was he honest?
If not, who is honest? Could he be deceived about the facts which he
saw and
heard? No! If he was, who can't be? He could not be mistaken, for
he _saw_, and _heard_, and _felt_--even to _blindness_, and, also, to
the receiving of his sight. He was sincere. He suffered long as a bold
defender of the Christian religion, and died a martyr's death at last.
Let us work on, suffer on, hope on, "hope
in death," and live forever! So
mote it be. "BROAD-GAUGE RELIGION."--SHALL THE CONFLICT CEASE? First.

different character

names: Moderate, Catholic, or _Broad Church_, by its friends:
Latitudinarian or Indifferent, by its enemies. Its distinctive
character is the desire of comprehension. Its
watchwords are _charity_ and _toleration_.--_Conybeare._ _Broadgauge._
This word is connected, in its origin,

with railroads. Its radical idea is that of
