In the very nature of the case, if there is to be real progress in spiritual things, and a real possession of the truths of Scripture, there must be, first, a separation from a fellowship where continued carelessness and the usual habit of loose thought and expression about the word of God and the person and work of Christ exist; and, second, there must also be fellowship with those who are accustomed, from reverence for the word of God and the person and work of Christ, to properly guard their expression, and who habitually conform their conversation to the teachings of Scripture. In brief, there must be separation from any fellowship where the word of God and the person and work of Christ are not the sole objective of the fellowship. A fellowship must be found where those things are in every way supreme. F. H. J.
