Has the Blood touched you? The blood of Christ makes us one, brings us
into the family of God, and enables us to cry, "Abba, Father." At the
time of the American war, during the days of slavery in America, when
there was much political strife and strong prejudice against the black
men, especially by Irishmen, I heard a preacher say, that when he came
to the cross for salvation he seemed to find a poor negro on one side
and an Irishman on the other side, and the blood came trickling down
upon them and made them one. There may be strife in the world, but
those whom Christ has redeemed He has made one family. We are blood

stranger, but as soon as he finds out those who love God, they will be
one. I wish Christians had more of this oneness. I hope the time will
soon come when sectarian walls will be broken down, and people will
not want to ask whether you belong to the Established, Wesleyan, or
Baptist Churches. If washed in the blood, we are blood relatives. I
