Congregationalism is tperfectly adapted to American principles. Hart predicts it will fare well in the western territories: Congregationalism "is a democracy. The brethren collectively are our highest court. From their prayerful and wise decision there is no appeal, except to the tribunal of the last day...In all our churches there is a call and an urgency for individual character and consecration...We have no fellowship with a close and bigoted Sectarianism ... Under whatever sky, in whatever tongue, with whatever symbols, we find His followers, we give them the hand of a hearty brotherhood."
