The sky be filled with Him;
and they must be able to receive a supply from others. They must be able to draw out the good points of the brothers and sisters. This means not only that their spirit must be open but that they must humble themselves to learn from others. THE ELDERS MUST BE COORDINATED When there is no authority in the church, there is no coordination. Among the elders there must also be mutual submission; they must learn to coordinate among themselves. This is the only way for the church to be in order. This kind of coordination will result in the whole church serving together. At the same time, the elders have to learn to not build up their own authority. I hope our arrangement and fellowship this time will direct the service of the church on to a good track. A CONCLUDING WORD The church is the Body of Christ. Every brother and sister is a member of this Body, and everyone is useful. If the elders can call the whole church into function and bring out all the one-talented ones and if everyone submits to authority, we will gospelize all of Hong Kong in a short time. The church will be able to build up itself as well as spread outward to gain more people. May we pray much for this.

1. My King will soon come back again, The sky be filled with Him; The universe to be redeemed Will see His light therein. The Lord will soon fulfill His plan, His footsteps now I hear; His glorious frame I faintly see Beginning to appear. 2. I'm longing for His presence blest And dare not slothful be While waiting for my Lord's return, His own dear self to see.
