Description
Excerpt from Martyrdom in Missouri, Vol. 1: A History of Religious Proscription, the Seizure of Churches, and the Persecution of Ministers of the Gospel, in the State of Missouri During the Late Civil War, and Under the ''Test Oath'' of the New Constitution
A diluted charity says, Let the dead past bury its dead, and let the living present draw the mantle of charity over the unfortunate by-gones. This might be well enough if the dead past did not curtain the imperishable germ of a resurrection life that speaks to us with authority in the vital principles of yesterday, to day and forever, and tells us, amongst other things, that the chief of the Christian virtues - a pure, discriminating charity - has no mantle for crime, however Christ-like may be its compassion for the penitent criminal.
