Baptist
SCRIPTURE

"Now the God of patience and of comfort grant you to be of the same mind one with another according to Christ Jesus:" — Romans 15:5 (ASV)

Grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:

"May He make you to be unanimous, not concerning what is evil, but that you may be of one mind in your likeness to Christ Jesus."

What a blessed harmony it would be if, not only all in any one church, but all in the whole of the churches were likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus! It will be so when He gathers those who are now scattered; but may we never hope to have it so here on earth?

I cannot tell; but, at any rate, let us all strive after it. Let us all endeavor to pitch our tune according to Christ's keynote, and the nearer we get to that, the less discord there will be in the psalmody of the church.

We shall be likeminded with one another when we become likeminded with Christ, but not until then.
