But this experiment of isolation is most perilous to the individual, and a prodigal expenditure of the wealth of the church, which has souls for her hire.

It is true that a few persons become centers of attraction to new churches that grow up around them; but very many are lost in the great whirlpool of this world's strife.
What, then, is the remedy?
Evidently this: Jesus accepts no divided empire in the human heart.

He will have all or nothing.

The Church of Christ, the cause of Christ, the people of Christ--these must be the centers of attraction to which the heart of the Christian turns with all the enthusiasm with which an Eastern idolater bows before the shrine of his idol.

In return for such devotion Jesus gives to his people every imaginable blessing.
