Probably the same spirit of opposition would be in any city in the state, but good Lord, what an example of Christian charity Christ came to the world and ate and drank with sinners, healed the sick, and cleansed the sin-stricken, yet we have people here today who are so much better than Christ that they can't bear to have a home for and repenting sinners among them.
