failure was in adopting mans plan of conversion. Christ'S plan of conver- sion has been set aside and mems plans substituted God has but one way of bringing pc ople into this world Some people would have you to believe diff ferently-that you have come by way of the ape route, instead of from the tend CT heart of God. That's mans theory, not Gods.
 Only One Way
 Every person whom we read about in the Acts of Apostles that was con- verted did exactly the same thing; in order that you may get rid of your sins God has but one way and only one. No man can do what God wants done without instructions and in the Bible and especially in Acts of Apostles has he instructed us just how to accept his plan of Salvation, and by so doing become His child.
 ''The second failure was in setting aside Gods ordinances. Listen to these passages from the Bible: The ordi- nances of Jehovah are true and right eous altogether. More to be desired gre they than gold. yea than much fine gold; moreover by them is thy servant warned: In keeping them there is great reward And 'Whosoever there ! fore resisteth the power resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist

 Take Only Part or Bible
 Whenever we take Gods ordinances and set them aside, we are not bring ing trouble only to ourselves but to the entire race Gods order of conver- son-order Of worship and order of liv.ng-all have been greatly changed. Some have gone through the Bible md selected the part that has fit into their whims and cast all the rest aside. Be loved, let Us not do these things. put may we become more and more Bible Christians. doing what God had Or dained for Us, and not wreck this whole i plan by injecting our ideas into His great plan of salvation.
 The third fact is; The unity among |! Gods people has been destroyed. The 1 prayer of Christ is not being answered. | See the Christ as he stands in the midst of his earthly friends just before i his crucifixion-his face is turned to 1 the Father-and 1 am sure tears are streaming down his face as he prays: i Holy Father keep them In thy Name
 which thou hast given me, that they
 mav be One, ever as we are Do you see the oneness that exists between the son and father? Not the least bit of strife no discord whatever; the Father | will is supreme the son bows in com- plete subjection.
 Union Not Always Unity
 Too many of us have been talking
 about union Friends, as Bishop An
 derson of Chicago says, God make;
 unity, but man makes union. There
 might be union without unity. There might be a union of churches which
 would be vastly different from tho unity of the church. Church feder- ation looks toward union, and not so much toward unity. You can tie dos and cat together and you will have union but wait five minutes and see il you have unity. The only way to have 1nity-harmony and peace-is to listen to>God and, like the Son, bow in con- plete subjectiona to His will. We can have Gods unity by one religious body absorbing all others; but all must cast off the human and be directed entirely by the Heavenly Father as he has spoken to us through his Son and a: we have recorded in his word. Our nation is united in a spirit O unity to put down seifishness, lus and strife that is full grown. Thi! never can be done only by united ef fort.
