“Well, the time is passing, but before closing, I wish to say a word or two in regard to this cooperation in temporal things. They are very little things, but they form a kind of stepping stone towards other and more important events. A closer union which we shall expect to inaugurate by-and-by, but which we are not prepared to yet…. We expect to see these things carried out in honesty and truth, because it is the order which God has introduced as a steppingstone to something in the future.”
