Let us serve God with all our capabilities, with all our intelli-
gence. Our intelligence will increase as we make use of that which
we have. Our religious experience will strengthen as we bring it into
the daily life. Thus we shall climb round after round of the ladder
reaching to heaven, until at last we step from off the topmost round
into the kingdom of God. Let us be Christians in this world. Then
we shall have eternal life in the kingdom of glory.

Unity existing among the followers of Christ is an evidence
that the Father has sent His Son to save sinners. It is a witness to
His power; for nothing short of the miraculous power of God can
bring human beings with their different temperaments together in
harmonious action, their one aim being to speak the truth in love.
God’s warnings and counsels are plain and decided. As we read
the Scriptures and see the power for good that there is in unity and
the power for evil that there is in disunion, how can we fail to receive
the word of God into our hearts? Suspicion and distrust are as evil
leaven. Unity bears witness to the power of the truth.
