Ilaving viewed during the past tnree
Sundays what the leading denomina
tions would need to sacrifice In the in
terest of Federation, we come today to
the final discussion of this serles-The
Church Militant and Triumphant and
her Interest lu the Federation move
ment. Let us endeavor to take sc
broad a view of this subject that there
will be no room for disagreement on the
part of true Christians of any denomi
nation.

Hence I explain that the term ChurcL

Lin.v I should further add that while
lu this discussion we have considered
Hip vnrlous elenotnlnations or Linisieu
inm mid tholr creeds, we must today
Jznore all human systems and creeds
w must take the broad, general
ground of the Scriptures and recog
onlv one Church.
Nor may we make the mistake ol
savins that the one Cburcli w one oeci
No sect. . no denomination, howevci
nrirt influential and numerous
ttnd rich, either In sordid or historic
wealth, can be conceded the right tc
appropriate the name which our Lore
gave to all truly his disciples. Surelj
none of us is sectarian euough to dls
mit tnis nremlse: We must learn t(
recognize the Church of Christ from
the same viewpoint as does the UeaO
of the Church. We must learu the
force of St. Teter's words to Cornelius
"Of a truth I perceive that God Is ni
respecter of persons; but in every na
tlon he that feareth him and workett
righteousness Is accepted with him'
i rtM x 34. 35).
Taking, therefore, the Scriptural
view of the Church, we recognize It
as the "Body of Christ" of many mein
hers, over which be is the Head. Il
is composed of consecrated followers
,f Christ Irrespective of all denomina
tional lines-those who. turning from
fin accept Jesus as their Ucciecnier
through whom they have forgiveness
rf Kins and reconciliation to tno i- auiei
those who have become disciples of
Christ, taking up their cross to follow
him and who have received the beget
ting of the holy Spirit. Who could
dispute that these are the Church of
Christ? Who shall say that they must
belong to thU Communion or that, or
lose their relationship to the Head.
Christ Jesus? The apostles never re
ferred to Baptist Christians, Methodist
Christians. Catholic Christians, Pres
byterian Christians, etc.. but merely to
these whom we have described ami
whom they styled salut9-"the Church
of the living Cod. whose names arc
written in heaven" (Hebrews xil. 23:
I Timothy 111, 15). Let us keep strictly
wlthiu the lines of God's Word and
uvold the error of the past. Let us
today consider this Church as the
Church Militant and prospectively the
Church Triumphant.
The Church Militant.
If we all agree that wo have l.eforc
our minds the real Church, the Churct
of the New Testament, lot us notice
that there Is a nominal Church alsi
and that we are not competent to full:
' determine which are the real am!
which are tiie nominal Christians ex

divided Into believers who are favor

Church as merely a moral clab de

acting sinful influences; still others

Thus we find the nominal Church to

Fightings Without and Within.
Every member of "the Church of the
Hrst-lmrn" was called "to sutler wnu
Christ" that he may be also later glori
fied with him in the Millennial King
dom. Only those who will stand the
test of faithfulness under sufferings,
trials, crosses, self-sacrifices, have the
promise of sharing with Christ the
dories of the Church Triumphant.

But why should the Church fight?
Is she not commended to live peace
ably with all? Are not Christians ex
horted to war not with carnal weapons
and to be smitten on both cheeks,
rather than to return evil for evil?
Where, then, comes in the fight? Who
are the foes? Surely none would as
sail a non-resistant!
We reply that the facts do not bear

by Caiaphas and Pilate.
"Who Steurcolh Cvory Co,i."
The S riiitnres explain that there is
a two-fold reason why Jesus aud all
of his followers are required to sulfer
for rlghteoustiess' sake.
(1) It is requisite to their own char
acter-developineut that they should not
only profess absolute loyalty to God
and to Truth, but that this loyalty
should be put to the test. Thus we
read of our Lord that though "holy,
harmless, undefiled." he, was proved
perfect In his loyalty by the things
which he eiulured-by his obedience
even unto death, even the Ignominious
death of the cross. The same prlncl-
nlo. the Scriptures assure us. operates
In connection with all whom God Is
now cnllirg to be Emmanuel's associ
ates In the Millennial Kingdom. They
must suffer wllh him If they would
relgu wllh him. They must walk lu
his steps (Galatlans v, 11; vl, 12; JJ
Thcssalonlaus I. C; II Timothy 1. 12;
11. 9. 12: ill. 12).
(2) These experiences are designed
of God to qualify us to bo Judges of
the world during the Millennial Age
that the Christ. Head and Body, may
be merciful and faithful towards the
people of earth. Likewise It Is proper
that the world should know that Its
Judges have thus been templed nnd
tried, and are able to sympathize with
them In their weaknesses and In their
endeavors for righteousness and more
willing to help them up. up. up to hu
man perfection than to consign them
to the Second Death.
Ai;hou:;h this conflict has laated foi
more than eighteen centuries It h.'.c
not been long for any single Individ
ual. With thu Master hlnn'.elf the trial
period was only three and a half
years. On the whole, as compared
with eternity, the entire Gospel Age of
Facriflce, ns the Master said. Is but
"a Utile while." And as for the af
Motions and teslings themselves. St,
Paul tives the proper thought, saying,
that at most they are "light allllctlous
but for a moment and not worthy to
be compare.! with the glory that shall
lie revealed In us," the ovcrcomers

believe that the doctrine that the
use of narcotics shortens a man s
