"The Christian as Church Member"
Matt. 5:13-10; Acts 2:41-47.
From this lessen we should learn
what the church i3, the great work it
is doing in the world, and the ines
timable privilege of belonging to it;
also that each member has a part in
the church work and worship, and
that Christ needs the child sen as well
as the adults to advance his king
dom. To be a member is vastly more
than "just belonging." The metaphor
used by Christ is very significant: "Ye
are the salt of the earth." Martin
Luther applies this in the first place
to the apostles and teachers, but in
the second place must include all
members as being also called to be
"salt." As salt will preserve and keep
from decay, so is the "influence" of
the church in the world. The Chris
tian church is tl.e most tremendous
and influential enterprise in the en
tire world. Whether we consider the
number of men involved, the amount
cf energy employed, and the eternal
interest which are at stake, no mass
ing of military and commercial and
political power can approach the pow
er of the church of Jesus Christ.
Salt i:i Christ's time came from
the Dead sea, in an impure state, and
would undergo a chemical change
while in storage, lose its saltiness and
become useless. A Christian who has
lost contact with God is likened as to
worthless salt. Take the Christian
church out of the world and what
have you lelt? A world that would
r.oo:i decay and lie ready lor judg
ment Hell! It is the influence of
the Christian church that prevents
Cod's wrath from being visited on
the vvcrld; holds it up; gives man a
i haute to get right with God.
One of the purpo.es for which our
Lord instituted the church was that
it should exercise a distinct moral in
fluence on the society around it. One
peculiarity of salt is that its presence
is not as noticeable a.s its abs-e:ice. If
salt is omitted from cur food, we at
once become aware of the fact. I
wonder what the world would be
like if all the Christians were sud
denly removed! They are not appre
ciated while they are with us, but
.nun c jiuaa mem wiien tney are
gone! If the life about us id no bet
ter for our being in it. the probabil
ity is that we have lost our savor.
"Ye are the light of the world." Light
is the symbol of all that is desirable.
It is almost Eyr.onyir.ou3 with life it
self. Light represents mental illumi
nation, hence wisdom. Light guides
our footsteps and prevents stumbling.
Light means life at its brightest and
best. A soul illumined by the Holy
Ghost will radiate light in all direc
tions like a lamp on a stand. "So let
your light shine . . ." This needs no
further interpretation. When the
glory of God fills the soul, it of neces
sity must shine forth, and that v. ill
glorify our Father who is in heaven.
"The trouble with the great bulk of
HERE FROM KENTUCKY
Mrs. Jesse Robbins, who has been
at Kuttawa, Kentucky, where Mr.
Robbins has been quite ill, is now
here to spend a short time with the
friends at the home at Mynard. Mrs.
Robbins was called here to attend to
some business matters and expects
soon to return to Kentucky. She re
ports that Mr. Robbins is improv
ing but is still far from well and
will remain In the south for some
time until recovered. The many
friends were pleased to meet Mrs.
Robbins and to learn that the hus
band is improving.
COUNCILMAN BRITTAIN ILL
Councilman Walter Brittain of the
fifth ward, has been in rather ser
ious condition for the past several
days. He suffered a severe strain and
injury at his work several days ago
and which will make necessary his
going to the hospital for an oper
ation. Mr. Brittain is able to be
around some but will have to have
an operation before he can resume
his usual activities.
Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel, Murdock. Neb.
mankind is that they do not shine.
They do net what is inherent in them
and let it out. Good ideas get no ex
pression; high aspirations stop with
the individual. The amount of good
in men's minds sometimes when they
leave a church service is enough, if
it should shine forth, to illumine the
whole world." (Rev. Jame3 K. Mc
Clure. )
It is not things, nor principles, nor
truths, but persons that are the il
luminating and energizing centers of
the moral and spiritual life in a moral
and spiritual world. The evangelizing
power in the new born church at
pentccost made itself felt souls were
converted constantly their life was
ordered by the apostles' teaching
they fellowshipped together com
memorating Jesus' death by the
breaking of bread and they were
constant in prayers. (The love-feasts
of the church practiced as late a?
thirty years ago, were the most bless
ed hours at the close of the preaching
service; we enjoyed them).
The world looked with awe on these
joyful, happy people who had Christ
within the hope of glory; and God's
power was manifest in "wonders and
signs." If every church member to
day would be that kind of a member,
we would not have the drink curse
with us, no disarmament conferences
;nced be held, the munition makers
would have to find other use for their
factories; we would have a brother
hood of the finest kind; there would
be no need of relief work; the rich
would give gladly to the need of the
peer; no want anywhere, but all hu
man needs would be supplied.
What a glorious condition that
would be! The churches would be
full of worshippers; the church treas
ury would be filled to overflowing;
every meal would be a thanksgiving
feast; hearts would be overflowing
with gladness no Gloomy Gus any
where. The praises of God .would be
on every lip and God would walk
in the midst of his people and his
favor would be resting upon them,
and their influence would be reaching
out and the contagion would bring
many in who would say: "Let us go
with you, for we see the Lord is with
you."
Day by day, souls were added to
the church; it grew and grew, and !
that is the will of Christ for the
ideal church, that continuously it
should be gathering into its fellow
ship those that should be saved.
Why are there not more conver
sions? The fault is not in Christ, nor
in God, nor in the Gospel. Bring back
Apostolic conditions and you will
have apostolic results. Let every
member make this his daily prayer:
"More like the Master, I
would live and grow;
More of his love to cther3
would show.
Mere self-denial like his
in Galilee.
More like the Master, I
long to ever be."
