NOT properly administered is proved every day by their
utter failure to produce the blessed results promised.
Admission of this fact has far-reaching consequences.
The very Existence of the Christian Church, in
its present condition, is hinged upon this question:
"Are the Saceaments Properly Administered,—
Yes, or No " ?
If we arrive at the reluctant conclusion that such
is Tiot the case, then the inevitable consequence is
recognition of the fact, that there exists at present
no Visible Christian Church on this Globe. Millions
of good men and women belong to the Invisible
Church ; but the enormous ecclesiastical Machinery,
—put in motion sixteen hundred years ago at the
bidding of the iniquitous Emperor Constantine, —has
very little to do with the pure Religion taught by
Jesus Christ.
The problem :
" Is Christianity a Failxire ?
—which has been so difficult to solve truthfully with
a negative answer—is a thing of the past No
thing can be declared to be a failure until it has been
properly tried
Christianity has hardly Begun yet !
But when it shall once be established,—then a
New Heaven will for ever smile down on a New
Earth
