The Unseemliness of Religious Strife

“THERE is always something unseemly in strife. Religious strife is more unseemly than strife in other spheres of activity. The whole spirit of the Christian religion prompts its followers to be forbearing, to consider one another, to be forgiving, for ‘the servant of the Lord must not strive.’ Even when we are called to stand with courageous fortitude for the principles of our religion, we can stand with kindly sympathy, and manifest the same spirit of love that filled the heart of the Saviour when he prayed for his enemies. ‘Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.’”
