THE UNITY OF THE XL HUT -_: 1 



movement which bears his name. What 

 our time most needs is aot a stronger organ- 

 ization, ooreven simpler creeds, but Chris- 

 tian men who dare to be true to their 

 inmost convictions; who arc not afraid to 

 fellowship with Jesus Christ wherever and 

 in whomever they find him ; who will 

 have nothing to do with traditions or rules 

 which interfere with the direct and con- 

 stant leadership of his spirit, and who, 

 appreciating all that it means, have said: 

 " I will follow thee whithersoever thou 

 goest." Such men will be misunderstood, 

 and probably ostracized, but in them is the ? 

 kingdom of God ; and as their number in- i 

 creases, that unity of the spirit which is a J 

 world-wide necessity will become a reality 

 as silently and beautifully as the spring- 

 time succeeds the winter.
