ever seen. Truth never languished upon His lips,<br />

never suffered in his h<strong>and</strong>s. He declares, "He that<br />

is not with me is against me, <strong>and</strong> he that gathereth<br />

not with me scattereth abroad." God has given to<br />

every man his work. He expects every follower of<br />

his to exert an influence that will tell for the<br />

upbuilding of his kingdom. He who is not actively<br />

engaged in promoting unity <strong>and</strong> love <strong>and</strong> equity<br />

<strong>and</strong> sound principles, is exerting an influence that<br />

is contrary to Christ.<br />

Those who are true to their divine Leader will<br />

put away the masterly sophistries that are coming<br />

in to deceive the people. Those who would be<br />

saved from the wily, deceptive influences of the<br />

foe must now break every yoke, <strong>and</strong> take their<br />

position for Christ <strong>and</strong> for truth, that they may be<br />

freed from the specious, fictitious sentiments that,<br />

if accepted, will surely spoil their faith <strong>and</strong> their<br />

experience. Unless they obtain this freedom, they<br />

will go on step by step in the downward path until<br />

they deny Him who has bought them with the price<br />

of his own blood.<br />
