Church Relations North and South

UPON church relations North and South the Louisville Christian Observer says: "Coldness and distance in our conduct brings dishonor on the cause of Christ. When the Southern men, who are most bitter in their expressions, want goods they buy of Northern mills; when they want magazines, they order from New York; in feeble health, they go to Waukesha or Northern watering places. They can mingle in business relations, in joint-stock companies, and in corporations, in social and political intercourse with men from the other section. But as soon as church courtesy and cordiality is proposed, they recoil."
