Matters of religion

A Scotch Presbyterian clergyman tells the story of a
parishioner who formed a secession with a few others
unable to accept the doctrines of the church. But when
the clergyman asked this man if he and the others worshiped
together, the answer was:
"No. The fact is, I found that they accepted certain
points to which I could not agree, so I withdrew from
communion with them."
"So, then," the clergyman continued, "I suppose you
and your wife carry on your devotions together at home."
"No, not exactly," the man admitted. "I found that
our views on certain doctrines are not in harmony. See,
there has been a division between us. Now, she worships
in the northeast corner of the room and I in the southwest."
