A CHRIST-LIKE SENTIMENT.—Rev. Dr. Johns, an Episcopal clergyman in Baltimore, says of "excessive denominationalism:" "Wherever this goes beyond love for souls, something is wrong. So fearful am I of this spirit, that I have been accustomed for years in passing a house of worship, of some other denomination than my own, to lift my heart to God in prayer for that minister and his people." "The law of God is like a string of pearls; breaking one of the commandments severs the string, and the rest are scattered and trampled in the mire. The vices are gregarious; they feed in herds; when you see one, you may be pretty sure there are others in the neighborhood. They train in companies, and if you welcome the leader, you must entertain his company. Every sin is a plague-spot on the heart and conscience, whose natural tendency is to spread till it infests the whole system." The apostate seems to put God and Satan in balance, and having weighed both their services, prefers the devil's service, and proclaims him the best master; and in this sense may be said to put Christ to open shame.
