plants. Tender care must be given to the delicate
plants. The useless off-shoots must be taken away.
The bruised parts must be carefully bound up. So
those who are weak in the faith must have fostering
care. We are to bind to our strong purposes the
weaklings in the Lord's garden, giving them
support.
From the endless variety of plants and flowers,
we may learn an important lesson. All blossoms are
not the same in form or color. Some possess
healing virtues. Some are always fragrant. There
are professing Christians who think it their duty to
make every other Christian like themselves. This is
man's plan, not the plan of God. In the church of
God there is room for characters as varied as are
the flowers in the garden. In His spiritual garden
there are many varieties of flowers.
Brother Kilgore, when you have difficulty in
locating new buildings and planning for their
erection, pray, and believe that the Lord will
impress your mind and the minds of your brethren
