The King James version of the Bible was used with important improvements in Greek. The churches knew the most important matter of being “an eating church to become a functioning church” and the saints wrote songs, which came from their experience of Christ as life for the church, our living.
The practice of rising early for morning watch was a major factor in many churches to bring life and content into the churches. In my experience, this was certainly true in Seattle and in Chicago, both individually and corporately with 15-25 in attendance.
With Christ as our life and content and growing, the word on “the ground of unity” in a locality made complete sense, and yes, “speed the day when all the earth will echo with pray-reading, and with hallelujahs for Christ our land, we’re churching in the churches on the churches’ local ground, we’re churching with the brothers, our family we have found, Oh yes we’re churching in the churches and we will make the earth resound with hallelujahs for Christ our land”.

I have to agree with
Indiana that there were so many of us who were consecrated to Christ first, and because of that enjoyed a rich outpouring of blessing from the Spirit of God.
Those who constantly disagree with him are like those who search for a serpent in every paradise. Reminds me of those young people, perhaps America's finest, who dedicate their lives to serve in the military, protecting our freedoms, believing in life and liberty, America's ideals, only to discover the corruption plaguing the White House and become permanently disenchanted, like so many Viet Nam vets.
