It cannot live by bread alone.
Communion must be held with God--spirit with spirit."
It is recorded of our Savior that he was led into the waters, and was
buried in baptism; the Spirit descended upon him; he heard the
encouragement of that voice which proclaimed his Sonship to the Most
High, and in the enjoyment of that holy time he came up from the river.
Then came the tempter; in the strength of the spirit of the baptism, he
resisted the temptation, and was victorious over all its forms. So with
the object and mission of our Sabbath schools. You are led to the river
of divine truth, that you may be baptized in its pure waters. You are
there shown the Father, and we trust that when you go out into the
world, you will, in the strength of your Sabbath school baptism, resist
and overcome all temptation to wrong, and being always engaged for the
right, and living in the light of the gospel, you will pass through life
undefined; thus may a Christian character be the result of your
attendance on the Sabbath school.
