Ephesians 4:3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There was a small band of three hundred cavalry in the Theban army, who proved a great terror to any enemy with whom they were called to fight. They were companions, who had bound themselves together by a vow of perpetual friendship, determined to stand together until the last drop of their blood was spilled upon the ground. They were called "The Sacred Battalion, or the Band of Lovers," and they were bound alike by affection for the State and fidelity for each other, and thus achieved. marvels, some of which seem almost fabulous. What a name for a militant Church, "The Sacred Battalion!" It is when she is thus animated by one spirit that she is victorious.
