Men might as well try to erect a skyscraper on a bog as to
attempt to build a character on anything less enduring than
Jesus. Every little while some one makes a new religion with
Jesus omitted. These structures dot the plains of nineteen
centuries. For a time they appear attractive. But, sooner or
later, their tenants discover that there is something wrong
with the underpinning. Happy they if they can succeed in moving
out before the flimsy fabrics collapse and bury their misguided
occupants beneath unseemly ruins.--JOEL B. SLOCUM.
