UNION—POWER OF
Illustration★★★★Over the iron bridge that spans the Ohio river are these words, “All military and funeral processions when crossing this bridge must break step.” The gigantic structure could not bear the strain of the united muscular movement of a large body of men. In like manner, there is a tremendous moral power in the united efforts of God’s people; but alas, they too often break step. What a moral power the church of Christ is in the world, but how much greater its power would be if it was not so divided. Brethren, let us clasp hands and keep step.
The point
A bridge cannot bear the synchronized marching of massed soldiers; likewise, the church's moral power would be tremendous if it stayed unified instead of breaking step.
