The Viewpoint for True Progress

There is and must be progress in God's work. There is or should be ever broader, clearer vision of what His work means, of its exceeding breadth, depth, and greatness. But the place, the view-point, from which one gets his vision, is mightily important. He who views God's work from a denominational creed environment is too narrow. He who views it from a semi-world view, from a religio-political standpoint, has turned his face toward the Dark Ages, tho he may not see the end through the mist and fog of human devisings. The progress of such a plan is downward. But he who gets up into the mountain of God's holiness, and sees "visions of God" in the light of prophecy, and is "not disobedient to the heavenly vision," will make true progress.
