We had a class that made a study of the character, government and
teaching of the different religious bodies. In this study I was
especially impressed with the polity and teaching of the people
designated as "Disciples of Christ," or "Christians." I procured

this matter, as I had been deceived before and it was my desire not
to make a mistake again. After a year's consideration and
considerable correspondence with one of their preachers, I finally
united with the Christian Church at New Castle, Pa. I have been
preaching the plea for Christian union on the primitive gospel ever

hearts, brains and purses of this country. It had Harvard University
