elieve, and obey Christ's word, <strong>the</strong> efficiency of<br />

<strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit will be seen in <strong>the</strong>ir lifework. There<br />

will be seen an intensity of earnest ef<strong>for</strong>t. There<br />

will be cherished a faith that works by love and<br />

purifies <strong>the</strong> soul. The fruits of <strong>the</strong> Spirit will be<br />

seen in <strong>the</strong> life.<br />

Christ is <strong>the</strong> Light of <strong>the</strong> world. Those who<br />

follow Him do not walk in darkness, but have <strong>the</strong><br />

light of life. John declares of Christ: "As many as<br />

received Him, to <strong>the</strong>m gave He power to become<br />

<strong>the</strong> sons of God, even to <strong>the</strong>m that believe on His<br />

name." (John 1:12) Behold Christ. Beholding Him<br />

brings heart and mind and character into<br />

con<strong>for</strong>mity to <strong>the</strong> will of God.<br />

There is need of all <strong>the</strong> instruction that our<br />

missions can give. Continue in your work in <strong>the</strong><br />

power of <strong>the</strong> same Spirit that led in its<br />

establishment. By opening <strong>the</strong> Scriptures, by<br />

praying, by exercising faith, educate <strong>the</strong> people in<br />

<strong>the</strong> way of <strong>the</strong> Lord; and <strong>the</strong>re will be built up a<br />

church founded on <strong>the</strong> Rock, Christ Jesus.<br />
