COUNTRY FURNITURE: the tree, as Christ taught c us. And if we see that their fruits were evil, that the results of their country furniture were antagonistic to Christianity, we cannot but admit that however good the men were-- the work of the Church in which these men took part was not Christian. The goodness and country furniture of these men who served the churches was the goodness and worth of the men, and not of the institution they served. All the good men, such as Francis of Assisi, and Francis of Sales, our Tihon Zadonsky, Thomas à Kempis, and others, were good men inCOUNTRY FURNITURE: spite of their serving an institution hostile to Christianity, and they would have been still better if they had not been under the influence of the error which they were serving.
