Excerpt from An Argument for Cleansing the Sanctuary: Delivered in the Presbytery of Philadelphia, Being in Opposition to the Prevailing System of Allowing Ungodly and Irresponsible Trustees to Manage Church Property, and Non-Communication to Vote Church Elections The discussion reported in this volume has a Presbyterian cast from the circumstances which gave it birth, although the evil animadverted on exists in most other churches, and the principles herein used to combat it, apply to all such, with suitable modifications; and the whole subject is full of interest and importance to all who desire the triumph of spiritual Christianity over the worldly policy which now enslaves the church of God. Every acute observer of the state of things in the Christian world must perceive that whilst a gigantic and complicated system of worldly aggression has been gradually extinguishing the independence, and with it the spirituality, of the church, and is at this time pressing its desolating invasion with fearful success, there are still to be seen scattered indications of a determined resistance to this enemy of all that is truly valuable in religion.
