Unity by Higher Life and Fellowship
H. O. Mackey. Psalm 133:1-3 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!… Two men may start to ascend some lofty Alpine peak from points many miles apart down in the valley. They climb the steeps, they scale the narrow ledges that overlook the chasm; at times they are shrouded in the cloud-mist, and you begin go say they will never meet. Ah! but wait a while. Before the night falls they reach the sun-gilt summit, and, resting their weary limbs and refreshing their hungry and thirsty spirits, they find time and taste for pleasant intercourse before they fall asleep in the little hostel on the mountain-top. So many who seem hopelessly divided in opinion and creed when on the lower plane of life and experience, have only to climb to loftier heights of Divine truth to discover their oneness in the Lord, and their enjoyment of His bounty, and therein their fellowship one with the other. More abundant life is the Divine philosophy of more abiding unity between Christians. (H. O. Mackey.)
