As an army ter rible with banners the church will march on to capture the whole world for Christ when we. as true Christian dici- ples purify her and do our duty by her here at home.
 Now my friends, as church members are we ready to start forth this church of ours as conquering host? Are we ready to say, Lord. like the moon renecting the light of the sun l will from hence forth live for thee and reflect thee?' Are we ready to say. Lord l will give my self to thy service in mind and body and spirit so that wherever l may go and whatever I do the world at large will say There goes one who has been commun- ing with God. and I would have his peace and ioy?' Are you ready to do this my brother? Then wherever you go you will find not a dead church. but a living church. for like Peter at the beautiful gate. in the name of Jesus Christ you shall make men who are spiritual crippes rise up and walk.
 May God move church members one and all to resurrect this day our church for his glory and his honor into the conouering host of an invincihle army
