February 27th [1863]. Invited to dine at Mrs. Dameron’s. Went. It rained all day. Had quite a defense to make of the Episcopalians and Catholics to Mrs. White. How the Methodists do hate other denominations. So do the Presbyterians. I rarely hear Episcopalians speak illiberally. I hate bigotry. I believe that the churches have aided to harden people’s hearts against one another. There is nothing so narrowing as sectarianism.
