follow in Saul's footsteps, let US also
follow in Paul's. Let US pray, too, to
see the light at all times and to fol-
low where it leads - the light of the
spirit of brotherhood, the light of the
spirit of sacrifice, h e light of the
spirit of devotion to what we know to
be the right.
We, as individuals, must today more
than ever, put away the trappings of
self-will and personal ambition. The
supreme heroism will be called from
us before these coming months are
past. We cannot meet the challenge
of the times if our interests are vested
in ourselves alone, if we are weighed
down under the burden of old preiu-
dices, hatreds and desires We, too,
must again see the clear light return
to the first principles of the religion
in which we were brought up, and re-
solve truly to follow the command of
that other traveller along the road who
said:
Put on the whole armour of God,
that We may be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil For we wrestle
not against flesh and blood, but again.
st principalities, against powers, agai-
nst the rulers of the darkness Of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in
high places. Wherefore take unto you
the whole armour of God, that We may
be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all to stand"
