G. At first we had them stand in the back, which didn't cause much of a stir,
H. but when we moved them up front in front of the whole congregation,
many people had serious problems with this, and a few left because of it.
Deliberate Sowing of Discord and Offending is the PRICE WE PAY.

"Now if this was the case in
Job's day, much more must it have been the case
at the earlier period when the Mysteries were
instituted. It was a matter, therefore, of
necessity, if idolatry were to be brought in, and
especially such foul idolatry as the Babylonian
system contained in its bosom,
that it should be done STEALTHILY
and in secret. *
Even though introduced by the hand of
power, it might have produced a revulsion,
and violent attempts might have been
made by the uncorrupted portion of mankind to put it
down;
and at all events, if it had appeared at once in all
its hideousness,
it would have alarmed the
consciences of men,
and defeated the very object in
view. Alexander Hislop
