ana organize the church, while the
second began with the period Of the
reformation.
The third epoch In church history
70 Just beginning" he said. "It Is to
Be the period In which the various
branches Of the church shall be gath
sred into n army, to do battle with
wtekedness. It is the period in which
the sentiment OF the song Onward
Christian Soldier is to be actually
worked opt. We have SUNG Like a
Mighty Army Moves the Church Of
Cod yet there has been too much
Jealousy and characterization in the
various divisions of this army. We
have sung We Are Not Divided All
scious in our hearts that this was not
history upon which we can honestly
say that We are now entering is the
period Of cooperation"
Mr.. Matthews touched on the work
Of the federal council in securing
church unity. and told Of what had
been accomplished in this way. The
various phases Of church federation
were Gone into. and a number of sue
cesses were mentioned in explaining
the manner in which such n union
would work out.
