'The church which comes nearest
The church which comes nearest to the Master's ideal
In the great central truths of the gospel, all evangelical churches are agreed.
Let us not waste a moment's time, or a breath of energy, in strife with other believers. Let us rather unite all our energies in doing good, by honoring Christ, by telling the story of His redeeming love to all men, and by carrying the joy and cheer of the gospel everywhere.
The church which shows the world the most love, and which lives the most sweetly, the most joyously, and the most helpfully — is the church which comes nearest to the Master's ideal .
That is the sort of church that every Christian should strive to make his church to be.
