UNION.

By J. S. MILLER

The great object at which all Christendom is now aiming is union. Two methods are resorted to to obtain this end: the one, to set up God’s truth as the standard, and bring men to that; and the other, to lay aside all differences of opinion and compromise the truth for the sake of union. The latter method is being resorted to just at this time in this village. As I sit writing this, the largest public hall in this village is crowded to overflowing with the members of six different denominations who are holding union meetings, in which no controverted subjects are to be brought up. In striking contrast to this, is an effort which an Adventist brother and myself have for several weeks past been putting forth to establish a weekly reading circle for the investigation of present truth. The result is, that only two or three of the apparently honest could be induced to come in, and even these have now backed down, and left us entirely alone. Truly, Babylon is fallen.
