able to find the path to the ordinances as practiced in the apostolic
days, but the skies are brightening, and, without questioning for a
moment the sincerity and devotion of those who think otherwise, the
Scriptures are being read to-day with more freedom than at any other
period in the history of the church, and its ordinances are gradually
coming to light in the public mind. God has been patient with us and
we must be patient with those who do not think as we do. One of the
most important problems now facing us, however, is that all believers
shall find a common way for entrance into the church. When that has
been done, a long step will have been taken towards world-wide
evangelization.

The fields are already white unto harvest. This is the day of
opportunity. Christ is waiting on us. If the time was short, like a
furled sail, in Paul's day, how much shorter is it in our day! The
gospel has been sent to all nations, and God is sending men from all
nations to America to hear the gospel, so that the lines are crossing
and recrossing each other and are so many prophecies of the
fulfillment of the commission of Jesus, when he said: "All authority
hath been given unto me in heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore, and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them into the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I commanded you; and lo, I am with you
always, even unto the end of the world."

Deciding for Christ and being baptized into him is only a small part
of the work that is to be done. Then begins their training into real
discipleship, when they are to produce the fruit of the Spirit, which
is "love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, meekness, self-control."
