SIGNIFICANT CONFESSION.

Mr. O. Scott, Wesleyan Methodist, says; "The plainest principles of the gospel have slumbered for ages.
"The Church is as deeply infected with a desire for worldly gain, as the world. At least there is no perceptible difference. Professors of religion are emphatically worldly minded.
"The Church are making a god of this world.
"Most of the denominations of the present day might be called Churches of the world, with more propriety than Churches of Christ.
"The Churches are so far gone from primitive Christianity that they need a fresh regeneration—a new kind of religion.
"They have gone over to the world and have opposed what the world opposed.
"The world will never be converted by such a religion.
"Christians pray for the union of the Churches, but fight against it.
"The fact cannot be disguised that the ways of Zion mourn."
New York, Aug., 1846.
