“Heaven forming each on other to depend, A master or a servant or a friend, Bids each on other for assistance call, Till one man's weakness grows the strength of all.”

Human beings are designed to depend on one another for mutual assistance and strength. This paragraph is a poetic quotation illustrating the principle of social interdependence.

It is through the social relations that Christianity comes in contact with the world. Every man or woman who has received the divine illumination is to shed light on the dark pathway of those who are unacquainted with the better way. Social power, sanctified by the Spirit of Christ, must be improved in bringing souls to the Saviour. Christ is not to be hid away in the heart as a coveted treasure, sacred and sweet, to be enjoyed solely by the possessor. We are to have Christ in us as a well of water, springing up into everlasting life, refreshing all who come in contact with us.

Use social relations and the influence of Christian grace to bring spiritual light and refreshment to others. The text centers on spiritual mission, divine illumination, and religious witness through social contact.
