Excerpt from The True Church of Christ, Exoteric and Esoteric
A simple illustration will Show my meaning here. The doings of the Stanley expedition in Central Africa have been severely criticized and ugly tales told. As yet all we can say is, they may be true or false. But if a foreign critic should Speak of the story of this expedi tion as the act of the English Government, or the Eng lish nation, we are justified in saying: It may be all true, all the brutality, all the treachery, you speak of; it may have been done by Englishmen; if it could be proved we might be heartily ashamed; but it is not, and it never could be, the act of England.
