UNITY OF LIGHT. —
Often from a mountain top we have seen a prospect through different colored glasses, as we see truth through our own personal experiences, and the atmosphere of the times in which we live.
The different denominations and societies are like the colors of the
spectrum, mostly pure light, with much more apparent differences than
real; but altogether forming the pure white light of God's true church;
the differences, so far as they are real light, and harmonious, revealing
the splendor and beauty and infinite variety of the Gospel, adapted to all classes and all ages.
A SYMBOL OF UNITY. — The mother of Charles Read (Member of Parliament) used to have in her Bible a symbol of a circle with Christ in the center, and all the radii converging on him, and under it the legend, "The nearer we are to Christ, the nearer we are to one another."
