"Except a man be born again, he cannot see <strong>the</strong><br />

kingdom of God." (John 3:7, 3) Many are<br />

controlled by an unchristian spirit. They have not<br />

yet learned in <strong>the</strong> school of Christ His meekness<br />

and lowliness, and unless <strong>the</strong>y change, <strong>the</strong>y will<br />

yield to Satan's temptations. Year after year <strong>the</strong>y<br />

carry sacred responsibilities, yet prove <strong>the</strong>mselves<br />

incapable of distinguishing between <strong>the</strong> sacred and<br />

<strong>the</strong> common. How long shall such men continue to<br />

wield a controlling influence? How long shall <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

word be permitted to exalt or to cast down, to<br />

condemn or to lift up? How long shall <strong>the</strong>y hold<br />

such power that no one dare make a change in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

methods?<br />
