Those who speak to the people through our
periodicals should preserve unity among themselves. Nothing that
savors of dissension should be found in our publications. Satan
is always seeking to cause dissension, for well he knows that
by this means he can most effectually counteract the work of
God. We should not give place to his devices. Christ's prayer
for His disciples was: "That they all may be one; as Thou,
Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in
Us: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me."
John 17:21. All true laborers for God will work in harmony with
this prayer. In their efforts to advance the work all will manifest
that oneness of sentiment and practice which reveals that they
are God's witnesses, that they love one another. To a world that
is broken up by discord and strife, their love and unity will
testify to their connection with heaven.
It is the convincing evidence of the divine character of their
mission.
