From the foregoing remarks it might be concluded that the possibility of local healing between divided saints is ignored. Where there is a growing acquaintance with the truths of the Assembly on the part of two local companies, their common exercises may draw them together in the confession of their departure from these truths.
If such humble themselves under the chastening hand of the Lord, it may result in the Lord bringing them together to walk once again in the light of the Assembly. Such cases, though rare, are not unknown.
On the other hand it must not be forgotten, that two divided companies may find themselves together through gradual decline from the truth of the Assembly.
By the loss of these truths and the consequent lack of godly exercise, they may find themselves together on common ground, but, alas, on lower ground than that of the Assembly, thus only adding to the confusion amongst the Lord's people. Such cases are only too common.
