Several graces are mentioned la. the text which win greatly assist to- -warda the goal of unity. "Lowliness- comes first. This Is a -dlstinctirely Chriatian grace, for. while the pagans recognized It as right when necessary, they felt It was not good la-it elf. But our very exalta tion "la Chriat is to "beget In us' the lowly'splrlt: the apostle has Just been speaking of our high calling when ha turns to exhort us to lowliness. Drummond says that touchiness Is ' conceit with a hair trigger. . What a stepping-stone to unity, then, Is low liness. - ; Next comes "meekness." This Is submission both to God and men, grounded la humility of spirit. Meek- . ness does not press Its claims, yet Is a most powerful grace. Founding an iceberg with mighty hammers leaTes It undisturbed, but a warm current surely dlssolres It; so the soft an swer turns away "wrath. What a lu bricant for the wheels of church life Is meekness! . . Bat meekness Is to be not only meek but "long-suffering. This Is long- mlndednoss, as oppoaed to "abort temper." It Is akla to the unweary ing patience of God.' "Forbearing one -another la lore. This is aaactlTo manifestation of long suffering, allowing for the frailties and mistakes - of others, eTea when they .wound us This caa be done because w wish them well and love .them. This grace' enables us to take sides even against ourselvea, and we ah art need it, even la dealing with Chris tlans, for not all of these are per fect!. . - - ; "Ths Quaktr and the "Organ. . ". The. value . of . this, grace la", the preservation. ct. unity is exhibited la a quaint Incident Some years ago it -was proposed to purchase aa orgaa for a Friends meeting house la a cer tala town la Ohio.. This was atrongly opposed by aa aged Quaker, for the . use of musical Is strain eats was not' so common among the Friends as.it is today. In spite of his opposition, however, the orgaa was Installed." The ao!d man did not stay away from meeW 'lag. but the organ was evidently a great cross to him. Finally, the min ister called upon. him and the follow ing conversation took place: "Friend.' said the minister, "thee seems grieved - at the orgaa la the' . meeting. - "I cannot- teH thee how grieved X am. was the reply. ' r -Well." continued the minister, "If thee feels that wsy about it, I will -take the orgaa out of the meeting; house with my own hands.
