Preserve Your Individuality
Preserve Your Individuality.—One of the curses of our civilization is that it suppresses or destroys individuality. God loves individuality, or He would not have so impressed it on everything that came from His hand. From man to blade of grass no two things can be found exactly alike. Each has characteristics peculiarly its own. It is the tendency of the human to mass individuals into one machine and then use the machine to suppress individuality. It takes courage and conscience to stand against the machine. It may be called fashion, convention, trust, union, party, church, or any other name, but its tendency is to exalt the mass, suppress the unit. Men without moral courage or backbone become imitators like the monkey, or unthinking parts of a machine. There is but one Master, one service, which will develop along right lines a noble, free, right-thinking, right-acting individuality, and that Master is Christ Jesus, that service is obedience to God. Preserve your individuality in Him.
