              I ask you to bow your head and open your heats to Almighty God with these few words from Thomas Campbell, himself, printed in 1839 in the Millennial Harbinger:

God …”as often as we open the blessed Book, it should be with the precise and real intention of acquiring a more perfect knowledge of those all-important topics, that so we might still be adding to our faith…

              …Let the church then take up its Book, and read and study it…  Thus will the church resume its proper character; that is, the school of Christ, disciples, Christians…  Amen*
