If two men are at the wheel with opposing notions of direction and destiny, how will it fare with the boat? If an orchestra have two conductors both wielding their batons at the same time and with conflicting conceptions of the score, what will become of the band? And a man whose mind is like that of two men flirting with contrary ideals at the same time will live a life |all sixes and sevens,| and nothing will move to purposeful and definite issues. If the mind flirt with Satan and Christ, life will be filled with disastrous instability and confusion.

The first thing we need, therefore, for influential and impressive living is unanimity. Unanimity in the mind is the primary factor in a forceful life. To bring |all that is within me| into concord, to make every instrument of the soul bow to one conductor, to lead all the powers into homage to the Lord -- this is the unanimity which assures the perfection of holiness. |Unite my heart to fear Thy name.| That is the mood which wins life's prize, |the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.|
