Al the Battery street Methodist church. In
North seattle. Rev. p. W. Ioy yesterday morn
ing took Tor his text:
Matthew xvi:is- Upon this rock viii build
my church.
AZ one dine Jesus said unto his disciples:
"whom do men ssy that the SON Of Man am"
They sAid unto Him: some say that thou art
John the Baptist some Elias: and others
Jeremias. OF one Of the pfophcss." lie said unto
them But whom say 20 that l ann" Peter,
speaking for the twelve. said: 'Thou art the
Christ, the son Of the living God" Jesus said;
.Blesscd an thou simon Bar iona; for flesh and
blood hath not revealed II unto thee. bat my
Father which il In heaven. And say unto thee
that thou Art Peter and upon this rock I vii,
build my church. and the gates oi hell shall not
prevail against H." la many places In the
Scripture Jesus Christ II spoken Of ~ the
foundation OF the church. Says the apostle:
sOthcr foundation can no man lay than that Is
laid which II Jesus Christ"
Peter and the other apostles are the Hrst
stones Of the buiiding we Rad; .And are built
upon the foundation Of the apostles and
pruphetA Jesus Christ himself being the head
of the corner"
Tho Con Of God speaks Of the church In the
listened recently 10 controversy on the
question. "fs il the church OF Christ or the
church OF 6iod-"

troverxy here. They are one Says Jesus, 81
and my Father ore one" While II IL the church
OF Christ. IL ID also the church Of God, and vice
versa Christ has bu, one church. Thirteen
denominations claim to be the church. be-
iieve they are AL wrong
The true church In spiritual. invisible. A re.
li4ious denomination emhodies the fsindamen-
tai principles OF the true church, and al the
same time peculiar views and shades of belief
These peculiar beliefs are the distinguishing
marks Of denomination viii all denomina-
tioss become one. h question that the future
alone can reveal
The "signs OF the times seem 10 indicate
that o. the light increases and the truth il man.
lest peculiar views VIII vanish. the different
religious organizations viii come closer ard
closer together, until they shall finally unite In
enc vast body, incorporating only oil the pFln-
cires OF TIE gospel.
We can be one today In purpose hope and
faith in Chriet o. the worlds Redeemer Let Us
view the church In the world today. The world
II too often called TO look upon the church as
play.
There il danger Of The church losing s.ght OF
