SynopsisExcerpt from The Golden Reed: Or, the True Measure of a True Church One of the striking indications of the New Age upon which we have entered, is to be seen in the stanch and manly opposition of robust souls to every thing savoring of bigotry, sectarianism, or intolerance in religion: And the stern rebuke, which these dark relics of the Old Age are hourly receiving from the wisest and best men in all Christian communions, is an encouraging sign of the New Times. Not that these men are becoming more indifferent to truth and error, less strong in their convictions, or less earnest in asserting and defending them. Rather is it because their perceptions of truth are becoming clearer, and their convictions deeper and stronger; for many of the best minds of the Age are beginning to see that there is a higher and broader platform for Christians to stand and act upon, than has hitherto been generally recognized.

It was an asso ciation of professed Christians, based upon a certain agreement in externals all, while in this external state, imagining themselves to be in heaven. But, inasmuch as they were internally very dissimilar in character, therefore, when their interior or higher, their real life is unfolded and made manifest, their association must be broken up, and thus their im aginary heaven must pass away. And at the same time, and in consequence of this event, a higher or more interior, because more spiritual life is Opened to the View of Christians on earth; a higher, truer, more permanent, because more real and spiritual ground of union among Christians is disclosed and a higher, or more interior and spiritual sense to the Sacred Scriptures, is revealed - a sense, which, rest ing upon the latter as the sunlight upon the clouds, exhibits the marvellous and hitherto almost hidden glory of the divine Word - a sense, which, when it comes to our understandings in all its glory, and to our hearts in all its power, reveals to us the true meaning of that predicted second appearing of the Lord, which was to be upon the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
