"The unforgiveable sins this earth must confront and overcome are 
 Nationalism, capitalism, and hoarding.  The idea of every nation 
 should be forgot, price should be struck from the commons, and 
 princes should be seen for the devils they are.  The sins include 
 our church, secret societies, and other religions which make of 
 the spirit of God a divide."

the dry bones waxed louder and louder; all other talk but about
spiritual and eternal things, was soon thrown by; all the conversation,
in all companies and upon all occasions, was upon these things only,
unless so much as was necessary for people carrying on their ordinary
secular business. Other discourse than of the things of religion would
scarcely be tolerated in any company. The minds of people were

thing of very little consequence. They seemed to follow their worldly
business, more as a part of their duty, than from any disposition they
had to it; the temptation now seemed to lie on that hand, to neglect
worldly affairs too much, and to spend too much time in the immediate
exercise of religion. This was exceedingly misrepresented by reports
that were spread in distant parts of the land, as though the people here
had wholly thrown by all worldly business, and betook themselves
entirely to reading and praying, and such like religious exercises.

But although people did not ordinarily neglect their worldly business,
yet religion was with all sorts the great concern, and the world was a
thing only by the bye. The only thing in their view was to get the
kingdom of heaven, and every one appeared pressing into it
