"Let us forget that we are Baptists, Methodists, Catholics, Presbyterians, or Free-thinkers, and remember only that we are men and women. After all, man and woman are the highest possible titles. All other names belittle us, and show that we have, to a certain extent, given up our individuality, and have consented to wear the collar of authority-that we are followers. Throwing away these names, let us examine these questions not as partisans, but as human beings with hopes and fears in common."
