A Tract for the Times: The Church and the Census

Part 2

Chapter 2219 wordsPublic domain

The object of this tract remains. And therefore, notwithstanding the course which the Government has taken, I send it forth to effect that object, as opportunity shall be found. I ask my countrymen and countrywomen—Christian men and women—simply to consider, as in the presence of GOD, these two appalling facts, which the discussion of the Census Bill has forced to the surface, in this day of _Crisis_ for the Truth.

1. That thousands of baptized souls in England are content to believe nothing in particular.

2. That thousands more who protest that they _do_ believe something in particular, protest also that they cannot “confess” that something “before men.”
