Once more, is it not a question whether, as a body, we are giving quite sufficient prominence to the sacrament of Baptism? If I were to draw any comparison between the two sacraments, I think I must come to the conclusion that the sacrament of Baptism occupies in Apostolic teaching a more prominent place than the Lord’s Supper; but I am not at all sure that the proportion is not reversed in my own ministry, and that much more importance is not attached to the Holy Communion than to our Baptism into the body of Christ. The same may be said of the Second Advent, and many other subjects. We may be perfectly sound upon each point, and able in the most satisfactory manner to prove each point from Scripture, but still while maintaining truth we may be exhibiting a partial view of truth: we may be presenting only certain colours of the spectrum, and failing to produce the perfect light; we may be playing only the bass notes, and so losing the harmony of our music. If this be the case, we shall not be drawn together by an eager maintenance of our own particular subject, but by fixing our thoughts on the whole. I am not arguing against men taking up particular subjects and becoming absorbed in them. I believe that if this were not done nothing great would be accomplished, for no one mind is big enough for the whole. But I am anxious that we should remember that other person’s subjects have a place in God’s system as well as our own; that “the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you;” but that we all remember that “God hath tempered the body together;” and that our earnest desire must be, as one united band of brethren, to exhibit before the world in all its proportions the whole counsel and the perfect mind of God.
