If he had ever heard of Moloch he would have been struck by the resemblance, and unfairly so, for when revivals were not in the air that ugly little chapel was served very faithfully by a spiritually-minded minister, who hurled himself all the year round against the obduracy of the people.
'My sins have in a manner done me more good than my graces, said holy Mr. Fox. 'I find advantages of my sins, said that most spiritually-minded of men, James Fraser of Brea.
A merely spiritual message may fail to obtain listeners; but to state the truth baldly a person need not be particularly spiritually-minded in order to be drawn towards Christian Science. The natural man would much rather be made well than made good, and a creed which professes to be able to do the former will touch him in his most sensitive part.
Several of the ministers and professors whom they had known before, seemed to have become more spiritually-minded; and with the flock of the deceased Pastor Monnié, in particular, "of precious memory," they were united in near Christian fellowship.
She went as requested, found the people kindly and religiously disposed, and through them she became acquainted with several very interesting persons. A spiritually-minded brother in Bristol, becoming interested in her new views and original opinions, requested as a favor that she would go to Hartford, to see and converse with friends of his there.

The period of this first "harvest" was short.
As regards the lowest division the Kâmadevas it would be quite a mistake to think of all of them as immeasurably superior to ourselves, since some have entered their ranks from a humanity in some respects less advanced than our own; of course the general average among them is much higher than among us, for all that is actively or wilfully evil has long been weeded out from their ranks; but they differ widely in disposition, and a really noble, unselfish, spiritually-minded man may well stand higher in the scale of evolution than some of them.
His most spiritually-minded friends advised him not to go, as all the ruling elements in the church to which he had been called were against aggressive evangelistic work, but for some reason or other, he felt it was the call of God and accepted it. In six months, there were sixty-nine conversions, and thirty-eight of them were business men of the town.
In the opening verses of this Gospel the Incarnation is explained, not by a virgin birth, but in a manner acceptable to the educated and spiritually-minded, in terms of the philosophy of the day. And yet how simply! 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. I prefer John's explanation.
