Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Young People´s Societies One conspicuous distinction of the Christianity of the nineteenth century, especially in America, is its tendency to large organization. It belongs, indeed, to the essential nature of the Christian faith, that wherever it prevails it organizes itself. Love toward Christ´s brethren is an invariable sign of spiritual life in Christ; so that wherever Christians are, there must needs be the church; and wherever churches are, there is manifested, in spite of all hindrances and perversions, the movement toward that general fellowship of holy souls which is defined in the Apostles´ Creed as "the holy catholic church." But that large organization of which we have spoken as distinguishing the American Christianity of the nineteenth century has its own characteristic forms. A wonderful quickening of religious faith all over the inhabited continent, in the early years of the century, resulted in the institution of national charitable and missionary societies, first without regard to sectarian division, afterwards within the lines of the several sects.
