There is a story about a heavy bronze bell that had sunk to the bottom of a river in China. The efforts of various engineers to raise the bell were to no avail. At last, a clever monk asked for permission to make the attempt, on condition that the bell should be given to his temple. After receiving permission, he then had his assistants gather an immense number of bamboo poles. Bamboo is hollow, light and practically unsinkable. The poles were taken down by divers, one by one, and fastened to the bell. After thousands of poles were fastened, the bell began to move, and, when the last one had been added, the buoyancy of the accumulated poles was so great that they actually lifted the enormous bell to the surface. You may think that your piece of bamboo is too small and too light to make any difference, but it is necessary in God's sight to build up the Body of Christ.
