Church: To Be Forged [1]
When Oliver Cromwell was about to turn the Members of Parliament out of their chamber, he pointed to the mace, and cried, 'Take away that bauble!' When He shall come, who will effectually purge the church, he will say much the same of many ecclesiastical ornaments, now held in high repute. Gowns, and altars, and banners, and painted windows, will all go at one sweep with 'take away those baubles.' Nor will the rhetorical embellishments and philosophies of modern pulpits be any more tenderly dealt with. 'Take away this bauble' will be the signal for turning many a treasured folly into perpetual contempt.
