One of the greatest epochs which have punctuated the flow of time in the physical world occurred when Professor Hertz discovered that wave motion can be transmitted by the imponderable ether which pervades all space. Every fresh achievement of Marconi's wireless telegraphy, or telephony, the practical development of that discovery, has caused all the world to wonder. Yet there is a far more wonderful thing which has been existing in the psychical world for well nigh two thousand years and provokes little comment. I speak of the Christian fellowship. If a fibre in my moral being vibrates heavenwards, the resultant wave runs throughout heaven, then is deflected to earth and passes throughout the people of God, causing great joy wherever it goes. "All the members of that one body, being many, are one body… For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body… and whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it, or one member be honored all the members rejoice with it" (I Cor. 12:12,12,26).

What are the Hertzian ethereal tremors in comparison with those sympathies in the one Spirit which permeates every member of the Body of Christ? Truly the fellowship into which we have been introduced by God's wondrous grace transcends every natural phenomenon that has ever been seen in the world. T. Oliver (Galashiels)
