Battle Creek’s Many Religious Sects

"The California Weekly" tells us that Battle Creek, Michigan, is the home of almost everything religious and irreligious. Besides the regular ordinary religious denominations there are Spiritualists, Quakers, Harmonists, Christadelphians, Mind Healers, members of the Heraldic Brotherhood, Age to Come, Millennial Dawn, Bread of Life, Church of the Larger Hope, Elohim's Brotherhood, Theosophists, Gnostics, Fire Worshipers, Restitutionists, Saints of God, and perhaps a few more have been added since the last reports came in. "There are few places," we are told, "where a person can come so near to taking his choice in selecting his own private door to heaven as he can in Battle Creek." And yet that is about a fair condition of the world everywhere, and it has all come because people are not willing to take the simple Word of God as a whole, interpreted in the light of His eternal, unchangeable law and the Gospel of His Son Jesus Christ.
