The ecclesiastical structure and sacerdotal services of a church are useful to those who believe in them. Those who lack this faith should be tolerant, and not seek to destroy things which still help others. They have their place. The error starts when they are given the only place, or when the emphasis is so heavy upon the outer forms that the greater need of correcting and shaping the character is missed.
