But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
He had expected to see a vast nave empty of everything but lifeless emblems side altars with candles unlit, dim pictures, pale and rigid statues with perhaps a few worshippers in the distant choir following a monotonous chant.

Revelation 11:8, saints 'small and great. Matthew 19:28: 'The Son of man on his throne, and the twelve apostles on their thrones. Revelation 4:10: 'Four and twenty elders on their thrones. Revelation 5:11: 'An innumerable company of worshippers. Ed.

At the present day the Buddhists are the guardians of the shrine; but the worshippers of other creeds are not prevented from paying their homage at it, and they meet in peace and goodwill around the object of their common adoration.
It is odd and strange, to see intelligent and educated people among us worshipping this self-seeking and remorseless tyrant as a God. This worship is denied by persons who are themselves worshippers of Mrs. Eddy. I feel quite sure that it is a worship which will continue during ages.
