to attain. The former is entirely beyond the power of the believer to make,
the latter is set before the believer as a goal. It is safe to say that no
one who does not keep the unity of the spirit, will ever attain unto the
unity of the faith. One must be a member of `the One Body', before it is
possible to reach the standard of `the perfect man'.
