GO TO Ju
CHURCH (f
V
./
Over nineteen centuries ago, the Church Universal was instituted
upon earth by Christ, the Saviour of men. At that time He commanded
His apostles to "go preach my Gospel to all the world".
This was the beginning of the greatest institution that the world has
ever known. Barely a hand-ful of men started the conquest of an un
believing world. Divinely inspired, they met and overcame the trials and
obstacles, and steadfastly pursued their journeys preaching the Gospel
and founding the church in every land.
/
No institution is comparable with the Christian Church. Through
the storms of civil and national strife; through wars instituted against her;
through attempts made to destroy her book, the church has come unscathed
and to-day stands as the greatest benefaction of man. And so until the
end of time she will stand.
The church is to-day propagating the work started by Christ when He
was upon earth. The ministers are His messengers; the lessons He taught
are the lessons they teach. The invitation of come to church is His
invitation "follow Me".
The church stands for the highest and best in life and points the way
to the redemption and salvation of man. If you have neglected the
church; just reflect that you are not associated with the greatest and best
of to-day—you are not getting the most and the best out of the years
that are yours.
Every church invites you to her services regularly. It isn't too late to
make the start. But do not put the resolve away with the thought that
next Sunday will be the time you will go-next Sunday for you may never
dawn. There is but one right time to start and that time is to-morrow.
A little advice:- If there is any church to which
you belong, go there. If you have no church
connections go to the church nearest you.
