Christian Unity

by Charles W. Naylor

When we take a comprehensive survey of Christianity as a whole, many striking things are presented to our view; but none of them are more apparent nor more obviously singular than the fact of the disorganized state of the professed believers in Christ. The division and lack of cooperation so plainly visible everywhere can not but impress all beholders as one of the greatest hindrances to the successful propagation of Christianity. Read Naylor's challenge for Christian unity.

At the age of nineteen he left the Methodist church for the Church of God. He worked for a while at the Gospel Trumpet Company in Grand Junction, Michigan and on some evangelistic tours. He was ordained in 1899 in Springfield, Ohio. He was first injured in 1908 in Florida while moving timbers from under a meeting tent. He suffered a dislocated kidney and other internal injuries.
