The Key to Heaven

BY ANNE DODGE

"Beloved , let us love one another." How simple, how sublime, how compact, and how complete a sentence! Yet it is the key to happiness, to harmony, to health, to holiness, yea, to the "mystery of Godliness" and the kingdom of heaven!

"Beloved, let us love one another!" Let us study these few words, ponder them, think on them, live them, and see what the result will be! We cannot love God unless we love one another, so these three words "love one another" fulfil the law and the gospel, cover man's duty to God and man's duty to man, and unlock the gates of heaven.

First let us ask ourselves, Are we doing this? And how? Are we putting out of our lives all rivalry, all envy, jealousy, evil speaking, and evil thinking? Are we seeking our brother's good, or are we elbowing him aside, pushing in this self that is each and every man's enemy, and striving to be thought greater than our brother?
