SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
JULY O, 1919.
Topic: The Church. Eph.
Allie; Acts 2:37-42.
g REV. j. j. DICKEY.
g g G. G. G g G G G. G G. G 6

This Church in ordained of God, and
Is therefore a divine institution. But
what is the church? There is sense
In which there is but one church. 1.-THE
Church of the first born whose names
are written in heaven" is composed
of those who have been pardoned and
adopted into the family of God. This
church has existed from Abel to this
day. "The visible church of Christ is
a congregation of faithful men, in the
which the pure word of God is preach
ed and the sacraments duly admins
tered according to Christs ordinance"
The church of the Old Testament and
one and the same-the church of Jesus
Christ. He is now and ever has been
head over all things to the church"
The New Testament Church is the Old
Testament Church enlarged, built up
on the foundation of the apostles, and
prophets, Jesus Christ himself being
the chief corner stone" There is no
record or reference in the New Tesla
ment to Christ organizing church.
The symbols changed as a matter of
course, The sacrament of the Lords
Supper took the place of bloody sacri-
fees, and baptism the place of cir
cumcision, with these changed sym
bols the church went on. The differ
ent denominations are like the divi-,
sion of a great army under one COM
mander lighting common enemy for
a common cause. The visible church
Is an organization of faithful men,
primarily for the salvation or the
evcngelization of the world. 1t is the
only specific organized for that speci-
fic purpose, By the authority of Jesus
Christ the church speaks to men and
gives to them the terms on which they
may be reconciled to God, and urges
them to accept these terms and he
saved. This is the primary work of
the church.
Every man and woman should seek
the salvation of his Lord and join the
church as Christian Crusader for the
conquest of the world.
Besides the conversion of the world
the visible church exists for promotion
of the worships of God, the due adj
of his word and ordi-
nances and the maintenance of Chris
tian fellowship and discipline.
All men need the church Just as
an organized army is more efficient
than bush, whackers and renegades so
men in the church can do more for the
spread of Christ's Kingdom than out
OF it. If men had not needed the
church God would not have establish
ed it. Its mission is the same as that

lost,
