“The Order of the Poppy”

There are many different orders of various and varying names at the present time. “The Order of the Poppy” is the characterization by a recent writer of a large group of insensible, dreamy church members. He represents this order as giving expression to the following statement of principles:—
“We say we read the Bible, but we satisfy ourselves with a short psalm. We go to church, if it is not damp. We allow the rain to settle most of our problems. We deal with our religion as if it were a bit of byplay, instead of the main question of life.—solemn, profound, and blessed.”
Branches of this order may be found in nearly every community. We wonder if it has established itself in your church or neighborhood? Are you a member of it?
