About this Quote

This quote by Orson Pratt is a criticism of the modern-day Christian churches. He is recommending that these churches run out authority to preach, baptize, or administer any other ordinance of the gospel than the idolatrous Hindoos. This indicates that the contemporary Christian churches run out authority than any other faith, and that their mentors and practices are not based upon divine authority. Pratt is likely recommending that the modern Christian churches have wandered off from the initial mentors of Christianity, and that they are no longer based on the authority of God. He is most likely suggesting that the modern Christian churches have actually become too focused on worldly matters, and have forgotten the spiritual elements of Christianity. This quote is a tip to contemporary Christians to remain true to the initial mentors of Christianity, and to bear in mind that their authority originates from God, not from any other religion.
