'Go ye and preach to all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.' This was the last injunction of Jesus Christ to His Apostles. _Universality_ is therefore the first principle and ultimate aim of Christianity. It has been designed for and is intended to become, in fundamental belief, the religion of the universe. The _Universality_ of Christianity in fundamental belief is accompanied by _Diversity_ in institutions and forms of worship, which are secondary and external developments; for this _Diversity_ is the inevitable result of difference of place, of time, of degrees of civilization, and of all those events which mould the destiny and constitute the history of nations. When the Apostles were commanded to instruct all nations 'in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost,' they also received the gift of tongues. This gift, which was a consequence of the _Diversity_ of their means and methods of instruction, also bore witness to it, and at the same time manifested the _Unity_ and _Universality_ of their mission. {2}
