We are strangers, never have seen each other, yet we know each other by the Spirit that is given us. I am glad you have grace enough to run the Gospel Trumpet without any visible means. They that overcome inherit all things. The Lord will not forsake you in the work. He will help you to carry it through. I gladly send you one dollar and would gladly send you more if I could at present. I have no love for sects in my soul. L. M. Success crown your labor of love in the kingdom and patience of Jesus. May sectarianism totter and fall to its very base, and glory and unity fill God's kingdom of peace and righteousness. God grant that the trumpet of salvation may continue to sound its certain blasts, until Babylon be overthrown by the power of God and truth. Mrs. L. L. and Eld. J. M. God bless you abundantly. Amen. My heart is with you to do the whole will of God, regardless of great or small men, bigots, or devils. T. F. D. I have received two numbers of the Trumpet; the sentiments therein taught are mine and have been for fifteen years. My wife stands with me. Let the Trumpet continue to sound louder and louder, until the walls of sectarian Jericho fall. J. C. A. The more I deepen in Christ, the better I understand the doctrine Brother Warner advocates; and the more I understand the doctrine advocated and acquaint myself with the early history of the Friends, the greater similarity I find between the two. He does not insist upon entire separation from the world in every form stronger than they did. F. W. God bless you and yours and the great and glorious work in which you are engaged. Would like to help you scatter pure gospel truth without isms or man-made walls. The Lord hasten on the day when they shall all fall to rise no more. Glory to God! Yours saved, J. L. K. In the issue of Jan. 16, 1882, Brother Warner answers a number of criticisms by contemporary editors. TO OUR CONTEMPORARIES "Modern come-outism, or, better said, no-churchism." We hold that uniting with the people of God in church fellowship, even of our own choice, does not necessarily constitute us sectarians. --Gospel Banner. In all love we would ask our kind Brother Brenneman to inform us of those modern "no-church" men of whom he speaks; give us the address of any man professing godliness who believes in and claims membership in no church. Second. Is the body of Christ no church? Third. If there is any way to get into the church besides Christ and through the Holy Spirit--if the church is something that men open the door of and admit members into--please give us "thus saith the Lord" for it. Fourth. If uniting with one party or sect of the professed people of God does not constitute one a sectarian, then why should union with a Masonic lodge constitute a man a Freemason?
