1.-THE Church to Which our Men
Are Returning" was the subject of
Rev. Moore's message at our morn
ing service, Nov. 26, using as
text, Ephesians Gil. He said, "Put
on the Whole Armor of God" The
period in which we live is one of
preparation; the axiom "In time of
peace prepare for war;" may we'll
be reversed. The forces of right
must be active to destroy the spir-
itual forces of evil which are per-
petually active, seeking to destroy
the church to which our men are to
return.
The world must be willing to be
guided by the principles laid out
for the church if peace is to be last
ing; the church must challenge I'M
scrupulous competition in the world
and lead men away from war. The
church must activate self in the
Spirit of Christ if we are to be
able to do great things" There
is no end to the fight of the church,
it must fight on that tomorrow's
world will not be like today's. Men
and women must put on "The
Whole Armor," must watch and
pray.
