Touch of Elbows.

On the evolutions of troops, the order is frequently given to preserve a touch of elbows; and when this is done, though eyes may be “right” or “front,” every man knows he is in the line. So it should be with us in the missionary army. We need to move together in perfect order and harmony. In order to accomplish this, we must become acquainted with the work in different parts of the field.

The True Missionary is published for this very purpose, and is of inestimable value to every one interested in the missionary enterprise. Its monthly visits ought to cheer the heart of every lover of present truth. We should march in close order, preserving a “touch of elbows,” and so we shall feel that we are supported by each other. This inspires us with confidence, and when the order is given, “forward,” we shall present an unbroken front, and as the Lord himself is our leader we shall march to certain victory.

May the Lord draw us nearer to himself, and so, nearer to each other.
