Christ’s prayer for His disciples was: “That they all may be one; as
Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us:
that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me.”
John 17:21
. All
true laborers for God will work in harmony with this prayer. In their
efforts to advance the work all will manifest that oneness of sentiment
and practice which reveals that they are God’s witnesses, that they love
one another. To a world that is broken up by discord and strife, their
love and unity will testify to their connection with heaven. It is the
[157]
convincing evidence of the divine character of their mission.
Items of Experience
The editors of our papers need the co-operation of our laborers
in the field and of our people far and near. In our papers should be
found communications from the workers in all parts of the world—
articles giving living experiences. We do not need romance; but in the
daily life there are real experiences that, if told in short articles and
in simple words, would be more fascinating than romance, while at
the same time they would be an invaluable aid to Christian experience
and to practical missionary work. We want truth, solid truth, from
consecrated men, women, and youth.
You who love God, whose minds are stored with precious items
of experience, and with the living realities of eternal life, kindle the
flame of love and light in the hearts of God’s people. Help them to
deal with the problems of life.
The articles that go to thousands of readers should show purity,
elevation, and sanctification of body, soul, and spirit on the part of
the writers. The pen should be used, under the control of the Holy
Spirit, as a means of sowing seed unto eternal life. Let the space in
our papers be occupied with matter of real worth. Crowd in subjects
weighty with eternal interests. God calls us into the mount to talk with
Him, and when by faith we behold Him who is invisible, our words
will be indeed a savor of life unto life.
The Message for this Time
Let all have more to teach, to write, and to publish in regard to
[158]
those things that are now to be fulfilled and that concern the eternal
