My dear Brethren, if God himself has set the Corner-Stone, the Rock, the Foundation and it still reads Jesus Christ knows His own, then as Arthur S. Way says let our Watchword be the same, that as we name the name of Christ we also depart from all that isn't Him. Stand clear of unrighteousness by finding out who you really are, who He really is in you, and what He has really done for you. Then will stand clear of all evil. Then you will know that is not your part. You will know that is not who you are.

When we went into training to make paper at that Fortune 100 company, we didn't train to be anything else. For eight months we were classroom trained to know who we were. We were trained to understand how everything in the facility operated from the greatest to the least. All the associates hired were on the same level, regardless of title. We all wore the same uniform from the Facility manage to the least of us associates.

If you walked into the facility you couldn't tell who had rank and who didn't. It was ascribing to the identity with which they had hired us. They hired us and this is the way they wanted us to be. We were not to deviate from it for any reason. This is how we started and this is how we finished. In training that is all we learned. The basic fundamentals of paper making, we used to call it "Paper Making 101", it was a class. It was a school, which when placed into it you couldn't come out any other way. The foundational teachings of paper making literally made you into a paper maker. We didn't study any one aspect of the machine; we didn't study any one aspect of the paper; we didn't study any one aspect of the process.

No, we studied the ABC's of paper making over, and over, and over again. When we walked out to "the floor" we knew who we were, from the inside out.

We did not become anything else and we were not given to anything else accept making paper. How ridiculous would it have been if after all that training, we said we were firemen? Truck drivers? Police men? Sounds pretty crazy, doesn't?

We were trained to be paper makers and that is who we were. Period. If someone tried to tell us different, forget it. If someone tried to hire us to do something else, forget it. We were paper makers through and through, and we did not desire anything else. Why let all that training go to waste? The company knew who the paper makers were and we knew who we were. That's the way it started and that is the way we became the best in the world. Nothing stopped us, we knew who we were. Nothing could thwart our progress, we knew who we were. Nothing derailed us, we knew who we were. We've been told and told and told to the point of absolute certainty, so that when we hit "the floor" we knew that is what we were there for and that is what we were going to do; make paper.
