Dr. Stiggins:
each Protestant Denomination is but a varying pigment in the Great Masterpiece which will at last be exhibited to the angels.
As in earth, so in heaven. We may alter a hymn which has always pleased me, because though written, I believe, in the Dark Ages, it offers a fine witness to the sanctity of the Sabbath. Still, for the moment, let us read it thus:—
O what the joy and the glory must be,
Endless Free Churches the blessed ones see!
Nay, if England alone, this little island in the Northern Sea, can shew to-day Three Hundred distinct denominations, how vast, how awe-inspiring will be the Infinite Divisions of Eternity!
