From Our Exchanges

[The Christian Intelligencer]

The contrast between the apostolic church and the church of the present day in the matter of finely finished services, beautiful edifices, inspiring music, and useful adjuncts, is sufficiently patent to all. The conditions of persecution and hardship which then prevailed are almost infinitely removed from the "flowery beds of ease" of modern worship. But those early days were days of power, of spiritual grasp, of tremendous courage, of abounding joy, of wonderful achievement, and of supernatural conquest for God. Many churches today would scarcely dare contend that their spiritual life and vigor could be spoken of in the same breath with the divine energy of those early Christians.
