men receive respect at the sacrifice of millions of the human kind!
The deacon is only a fair sample of what many of our self-righteous modern deacons are, only with this difference, that Deacon Rob Stew is far more brave, heroic and fearless than our modern bigots, who in their hearts feel like doing as Deacon Stew did, but have neither the tact nor courage to do so.
I hope that I am not misunderstood in presenting the extreme views of good and evil, or the acme of heavenly zeal or demoniacal ambition! I love the genuine Christian and honest official, but despise the ways of the hypocrite and politician.
All should be governed by the fixed law of God, and the good of the many should be sought at the sacrifice of the good of the few, which reverses the customs of the day. And until the aim and end of able men point in the direction that this novel sets forth, the broad road will be lined, whilst the narrow path will be deserted!
My secret prayers are for the welfare of all, and my physical and mental energies shall be expended in the direction just spoken of, hoping that the Millennium will dawn ere many years pass away!
THE END.
