Union Or The Divided Church Made One Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Church Union, Vol. 24: November, 1897 But, better yet, we would appeal to all college students, of true aims and gentle natures, to combine in a deter mined effort to make an end of this coarse and degrading system.

Shall the world be converted in ten years? Shall it be converted in a hundred years A vast deal of the answer to this question is going to be given by the progress of church union.
