A FAITHFUL WITNESS 549 commandment I write unto you, wliich thing is true in Him and in you : because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that lovetli his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.'' "This is the message that je heard from the beginning, that we should love one another." ''He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us : and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren." It is not the opposition of the world that most endangers the church of Christ. It is the evil cherished in the hearts of believers that works their most grievous disaster, and most surely retards the progress of God's cause. There is no surer way of weakening spirituality than b}" cherishing envy, suspicion, fault-finding, and evil-surmising. On the other hand, the strongest witness that God has sent His Son into the world, is the existence of harmony and union among men of varied dispositions who form His church. This witness it is the privilege of the followers of Christ ' to bear. But in order to do this, they must place themselves under Christ's command. Their characters must be conformed to His character, and their wills to His will.
