The great Master while on earth may have foreseen the possibilities of future sectarian conflict, and, as if to guard against the misunderstanding of his teachings, he established a standard by which all true Christians should be measured. He said, "These signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

These remarkable words are quite too plainly stated to be misunderstood. Uttered as they were, just prior to his final ascension, they would seem to represent a last rich legacy, bequeathed to the human race as the result of his earthly experience.
