Excerpt from Twelve Causes of Dishonesty
That no measure might be put to the calamity, the Church of God, which rises a stately tower of refuge to desponding men, seemed now to have lost its power of pro tection. When the solemn voice of Re ligion should have gone over the land, as the call of God to guilty man to seek in him their strength; in this time when Re ligion should have restored sight to the blind, made the lame to walk, and bound up the broken-hearted, she was herself mourning in sackcloth. Out of her courts came the noise of warring sects; some con tending against others with bitter warfare; and some, possessed of a demon, wallowed upon the ground foaming and tending themselves. In a time of panic, and disas ter, and distress, and crime, the fountain which should have been for the healing of men, cast up its sediments, and gave out a bitter stream of pollution.
