its
further
mission
iB
to
"make
all
see
what
is

the

which

has
been
hid
in
God,
•••
to
the
intent
that
now
mi~ht
be
made
known
by
the
church
the
manifold
wisdom
of
God"-"which
in
other
ages
was
not
made

as
it
is
now
revealed".-Ephesians

5-9,

It
stands
free
from
all
parties,
sects
and
'creeds
of
men,
while
it
seeks
more
and
more
to
bring
its
every
utterance
into
fullest
Imbjection
to
the
will
of
God
in
Christ,
as
expressed
in
the
holy
Scriptures.
It
is
thus
free
to
declare
boldly
whatsoever
the
Lord
hath
spoken-according
to
the
divine
wisdom
~ranteQ
unto
us
to
understand
his
utterances.
Its
attitude
is
not
dogmatIC,
but
confident;
for
we
know
whereof
we
affirm,
treading
with
implicit
faith
upon
the
sure
promises
of
God.
It
is
held
as
a
trust,
to
be
used
only
in
his
service;
hence
our
decisions
relative
to
what
may
and
what
may
n"t
appear
in
its
columns
must
be
according
to
our
judgment
of
his
good
pI_sure,
the
teaching
of
his
Word,
for
the
upbuild.jng
of
his
people
in
grace
and
knowledge.
And
we
not
only
invite
but
urge
OUl:
leaders
to
prove
all
its
utterances
by
the
infallible
Word
to
which
reference
is
constantly
made
to
facilitate
such
testing.
TO
US
THE
SCRIPTURES
CLEARLY
TEACH
'Xhat
the
church
is
"the
temple
of
the
living
GOd",
peculiarly
"his
workmanship";
that
its
construction
has
been
in
progress
throu~houll
the
gospel
age-ever
since
Christ
became
the
world's
Redeemer
and
the
Chief
Corner
Stone
of
his
temple,
through
which,
when
finished,
God's
blessing
shall
come
"to
all
people".
and
they
find
access
to
him.-1
Corinthians
3:
16,
17;
Ephesians
2:
20-22;
Genesis
28:
14;
Galatians
3:
29.
That
meantime
the
chiseling,
shaping,
and
polishing
of
consecrated
believers
in
Christ's
atonement
for
sin,
progresses;
and
when
the
last
of
these
"living
stones",
"elect
and
precious,"
shall
have
been
made
ready,
the
great
Master
Workman
WIll
bring
all
together
in
the
first
resurrection;
and
the
temple
shall
be
filled
with
his
glory,
and
be
the
meeting
place
between
God
and
men
throughout
t~e
Millennium.-Revelation
15:
5-8.
That
the
basis
of
hope,
for
the
church
and
the
world,
lies
in
the
fact
that
"Jesus
Christ,
by
the
grace
of
God,
tasted
death
for
el'ery
man,"
"a
ransom
for
all,"
and
will
be
"the
true
light
which
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
world",
"in
due
time".
Hebrews
2:
9;
John
1:
9;
1
Timoth~'
2:
5,
6.
!rhat
the
hope
of
the
church
is
that
she
may
be
like
her
Lord,
"see
him
as
be
is,"
be
"partakers
of
the
divine
nature','
and
share
his
glory
as
his
joint-heir.-1
John
3:2;
John
17:
24;
Romans
8:
17;
2
Peter
1:
4.
ll'nat
the
present
mission
of
the
church
is
the
perfecting
of
the
saints
for
the
future
work
of
service;
to
develop
in
berself
every
grace;
to
be
God's
witness
to
the
wOrld;
and
to
prepare
to
be
kmgs
and
priests
in
the
next
age.-Ephebians
4:
12;
lila
tthew
24:
14;
Revelation
1:
6;
20:
6.
!rhat
the
hope
for
the
world
lies
in
the
blessings
of
knowledge
and
opportunity
to
be
brought
to
all
by
Christ's
lIIiIlenniai
kinl'dom;
the
restitution
of
all
that
was
lost
in
Adam,
to
all
the
willing
and
obedIent,
at
the
hands
of
their
Hedeemer
and
hIS
glorilIed
church,
when
all
the
wilfully
wicked
will
be
destroyed.-Acts
3:
19-23;
