Excerpt from A Conversation Between Two Laymen on the Subject and Mode of Christian Baptism and Church Communion P Let us both pledge ourselves to each other, and to Him who d1ed for 11s, that we will submit our sentiments and views to the oracles of Divine Truth, fully determined in the strength of the Lord that we will renounce every sentiment, that is not in conformity to the requirements of Christ, let it cost whatever self-denial it may. Should we finally be so happy as to enter beav en, probably we shall then see things as they are, which is the sublimest thing 1n natu1e.' We shall then receive no satisfac tion in discovering, that we permitted our mental vision to be obscured by passion or prejudice for the want of that thor ough, impartial examination which it is the duty of all to make. Surely, no satisfaction can then arise from the con sciousness that We, through sheer neglect of investigation, have thus thrown the weight of our influence, or any part'of it, into the scale of error, either in principle or practice. If we shall derive satisfaction from any thing we shall have done on earth, it will be for our having diligently and prayerfully sought for the truth and closelv adhered to it.
