bic members There is no church of
which 1t can truly be said. that all Its
members are true to God. Ii Christ
is the head of the church, there can be
no earthly head, no matter how good his
title To such a position. desire 90 discuss
some mistakes Of members within our
own church, which are common 10 all
churches Each member who entered
this church made a solemn promise aud
covenant, acknowledging God as his
father, making Gods word his rule Of
life, promising to attend diligently upon
the worship and to pray for the success Of
the church, and to labor always for the
same. cannot think of more solemn
covenant and promise All members do
not keep these vows. cannot believe
that those who fail are dishonest or
hypocrites; they must be mistaken then.
MANY think that joining church is
the result rather than the beginning.
Joining church Is only enlisting in the
army, and we are to fight the good fight
of faith before we can obtain the crown
Of righteousness. It is but the planting
of the seed the coming to the Lord and
saying, i am ready to work Christ
came into the world to make men holy,
and no man has reached his full stature
until he is perfect as God is perfect.
Another mistake of members Is the
| belittling the Importance of their own
| individual usefulness. The son Of man
came to seek that which is lost and the
paramount concern of every church
should be the saving OF souls. II ought
not to be possible that in the shadow OF
the church many are as much heathenr
as those In the jungles Of Africa. There
is growing feeling in sthe church that
the church is not 3 sufficient organiza
tion to evangelize the world that it Il
inadequate; that 1t Is powerless to reach
the masses. The young men > Of
/ our cities are reached bI
Young Mems Christian Associations
and various institutions, many Of which
employ evangelists who are of no specia
denomination, and yet do good work
Now If the church cannot do this work
it better get out of the way and let these
organizations do it. The trouble lie
with the members Of the church, who arr
neglectful of their duties. These organ
izations are doing great deal Of good
They say that they are helping tn
church; they are really part of tn
church and the day is coming when the,
will be so recognized.
'There are mistakes Of allegiance u
God. Your VOWS are binding so long a
you are member Of this church If
person cannot worship acceptably L
himself, here, it is his duty to ask for
letter Of dismissal, that he may go G
that church where he may be satisfied
You did not Join this church for SO lonI
as the service was attractive, the mem
bers sociable, or you continued to hsv
friends among them. The church servic
consists of more than morning service
it has an evening and weekday service
Many members Of this church have moi
been to the Holy Communion for months
This is a great mistake.
IF this church would enjoy success
all the members must have the spirit q
work, as their master had, who wen
about doing good. We should. thereforl
conduct ourselves to the fullest extent {
