Liberty and Leaps of Faith

It is evident to all that sectarianism has received a death wound, and as light increases, liberty will in the same ratio increase, and the truth will run and be glorified, unfettered from human manacles, untrammeled by the fear of man. Christians will flow together. I have seen sheep pent up in a lean pasture, looking through the crevices of their enclosure at a flock grazing on a rich field at liberty—I have seen their manifestations of anxiety to be with them, in their bleating and running along the fence to find a place of escape. At length one made the leap and many followed.Barton Stone
