Excerpt from Thoughts on Baptism: As an Ordinance of Proselytism; Including Observations on the Controversy Respecting Terms of Communion The union of Christians of various denominations to advance the Redeemer's kingdom, chiefly by means of Bible and Missionary Societies, must prove highly gratifying to every pious mind. We hail this union, so far as it has hitherto proceeded, on account of the prospect that it exhibits, still more than of the pleasure that it affords. We regard it as the harbinger of that period, when, to adopt the language of a justly celebrated poet, "The noise of jarring sectaries shall cease, And e'en the dipt and sprinkled live in peace: Each heart shall quit its prison in the breast, And flow in free communion with the rest." Much has been done to effect this desirable object, but much more remains to be done; for we have every reason to believe that the union of Christians with each other, will be more cordial and more complete than it has ever yet been, before the outpouring of the Spirit in the latter day.
