Do not admit that many of our Brotherhood meetings are in 'neutral' or 'secular' halls and buildings! 'Where two or three gather in My name, there am I. Where He is, there is hallowed ground." We need a stock-taking and a mobilisation of our spiritual forces. But what, after all, does this mean?
The mate received this new order as complacently as the first. It suited him better. In that steaming, reeking river station he was more at home about his ship than tramping through an odorous village on shore business. Barry hustled up to the post and found Little deep in a stock-taking revel, as enthusiastic as a boy in his new sphere.
