Advantages of Unity
1 Samuel 10:26-27
And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.…


To separate ourselves from our brethren is to lose power. Half-dead brands heaped close will kindle one another, and flame will sparkle beneath the film of white ashes on their edges. Fling them apart, and they go out. Rake them together, and they glow. Let us try not to be little, feeble tapers, stuck in separate sockets, and each twinkling struggling rays over some inch or so of space; but draw near to our brethren, and be workers together.

(A. Maclaren, D. D.)
