Church Unity.
Have you read "What Great Men Say

Kingdom, and now they are working
and praying for that which Christ prayed
Our best and leading pulpits are agitat-

among you envying and strife, and di-

Apollos, are you not carnal IL Cor. 3 /:
rs. "Now, / beseach you, brethren. by
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that
you all speak the same thing, and that
there be no divisions among you but that
we be Joined together in the same mind

10.
Paul also gives us good platform up
on which this union must stand. Hear it:
Endeavoring to keep the unity of the
Spirit in the bonds of peace There is
one body, and one Spirit, even as you are
called in one hope of your calling; one
Lord, one faith, one Captain. one God
and Father of all, who is above all, and
through all, in you all.'-Eph. 4: 8 Z.

fever after all other treatments have
proved of no avail
