Q.—As to receiving from the sects conditionally, is there not a great difference in the sects of today compared with those of Paul's day (Corinthian rebuke)? Undoubtedly the denominations of to-day took their rise in dark times mainly in their struggle for the truth, and without, apparently, any knowledge of unity as characteristic of the church of God? X. Y. Z.
A.—The awful fact now is that all the denominations are more and more contaminated with the infidelity cloaked under the name of " Higher Criticism." This makes it increasingly difficult to allow Christians, so careless and indifferent to God's dishonor, a place at the Lord's supper until they clear themselves of such a compromise. If orthodox and holy, we welcome them.
