Letters to our Leader

Atlanta, Ga., March 25, 1905.

Beloved Leader:—Let me thank you for your brave, magnificent article on "Divorce." It reminds me of that paragraph in Revelation, 18: "And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. ... And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee." The mighty rebuke to the sensualism of the era, in your article, which points to Jesus' words as the divine remedy for all ills,—with the glorious metaphysics of that great question,—is beyond words, sublime and wonderful.

Daily do we see in your inspired leadership that Jesus has sent his angel to the churches, that if they have ears to hear they may hear what the Spirit saith. Above the sea of human conflict and opinions, the Divine voice is heard. Into the sea of human doctrines, creeds, mortal beliefs of false origins, the great stone goes, stirring the muddy deeps that they may be purified. Thank God for the grand moral courage and spiritual power revealed through the woman to-day. It is, and must be, victorious over all seeming obstacles.
