Mr. Grover McDaniel's Maiden ; Speech in the Union Meet ing at Mod oe. Query: How can we raise the standard of our church fellowship? FirsT, let us decide what church fellowship is: brotherhood, compan ionship, brotherly love, and good and kindly^ feeling for another. Next, the way to raise this to a higher standard is to cultivate it according to the word of God. To cultivate fellowship with God we must come unto him and be born again, for. whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish but have ever lasting life. So then that we are born again of water and of the spirit we have fellowship with God. SecoDdj cultivate fellowship with Christ. So then that we have been made whole by Christ, itt us sin no moi?tb?twe may have power to lead' others to Christ/ All men should honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He that honor eth not the Son honoretb not the Father who hath sent Him. He that hath the Son hath' life and he that bath not the Son of God hath not life. And this is the confidence that we have in Him that if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us, and if we know that He hears us whatsoever we ask we know that we have the petition de sired of Him. Third, cultivate fellowship with oneanother. John 15:10: This is my commandment that, ye love one another as I have loved you. Let love of the brethren continue.1 Fin ally beal] like minded, compassion ate, loving as bTetbren,tender heart ed, humblt .minded, dot rendering evil for evil or reviling for reviling but contrariwise blessing^ for here unto were ye called, that ye might inherit a blessing. Then also I would say that we cultivate the spirit of forbearance and forgive ness towards the brethren,practical to one another and be less critical. MMIIMBMMIHEIHIMUIMIEMIMIII* ?
