Excerpt from True Cause of All Contention, Strife, and Civil War in Christian Communities: A Book for All Christian Teacher and Christian Professors of All Sects, Names and Conditions, And for All Person Who Desire to Do Their Own Thinking We often hear, even at this late period of the Christian era, and in this age of Christian revivals, reformations, and missionary enterprise, the lamentation of the evangelic Prophet, or inquiries quite equivalent. "Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?" Isa. liii. 1. If the gospel of Christ is the power of God unto Salvation, why has not the world been saved, from the dominion of sin and misery, ages ago? If the law of the Lord be perfect, converting the soul, why are there so many millions of unconverted sinners, in every part of the world, and especially in this Christian land, where the Bible is placed in every house, or offered at the door of every habitation, and where Provision is made for teaching every child to read and understand the same? If God our Saviour has, by his word and Spirit, revealed to men for their salvation, his whole will, "in all things concerning their edification and salvation, " why do ignorance of his will, transgression of the same, and the consequent sin and misery, constitute the general character and condition of the great mass of mankind, even in the most en-lightened and Christian nations of the earth ? Why, in every Christian city, community, and country, do the catalogues of crime, against the law of God, the law of nature, the laws of men, and the peace and happiness of human society, exceed, by many fold, the number of Christian conversions in the same communities? Why does not the preaching of the gospel, which has become the exclusive profession, office, business, and livelihood, of a large and very important class of men, sustained at great expense, in all Christian nations, exhibit its legitimate influences, and produce its natural fruits?
