BL 5111, 4512211115 5 THE GLORY OF THE CHURCH Cffontinuedj prophet. The sun shall be no more thy light by day, neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto theeg but the llord shall be unto thee an ever- lasting light and thy flod thy glory. Isa. 60:19. For I, saith the Lord. will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. Zeeh. 2 : 5. The only thing' that distinguished Israel was that she had God in the midst of her. Ps. 46:5 NYhy do we remember Abraham, Moses, Elijah, and the prophets? Why do we love to read ot Paul and Fox and Wesley and the other Saints? They are not renowned for riches or learning or social standing: but beeause of their relation to flod, their walk with Him, who is invisible, their power to reach Heaven with their prayers and bring God down to man. God's presence in the midst of His people, is their true glory, that for which they are honored. that which makes them worthy of praise. His pres- ence alone, protects from Satan's snare, instructs in the way of truth and holiness, leads in the way of life and is a eonstant hope of bliss eternal. The glory of the Church is her grasp of divine things, her possession of the in- eorruptible, her vision of the unseen, her living. abiding hope of that which is undefiled and that fadeth not away. Brick and mortar, scholarship, gold and silver, and mere numbers do not m-ake her beautiful or rieh. It was a posses- sion of at least some of these whieh caused that Ilaodieean church to think her- self rich and in need of nothing. But Jesus said to her that Hshe was wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, Rev. 3:17. The pope once said to Thomas Aouinas: You see that the church is no longer in an age in Whieh she can say, 'Silver and Gold have I none.' Aquinas replied, It is true. nor can she now say to the lame man, 'Rise up and walk.' A ehureh in a southern eity devoted a whole page in the eitv paper to an advertisement of its activities. There were cuts of all her buildings, and all her pastors from its organization to the present. SFlO0,00fI had been raised for all purposes during the year. Buildings and men and money were lifted up: but God's name was not found on the page, nor Jesus, nor the Holy Ghost, nor Salvation, nor righteousness nor any expression whatever that would lead the mind toward the thought of spiritual things. God says: 'tMy people have ehanged their glory for that which doth not profit. Re astonished, O ye heav- ens at this. Jer. 2 :11, 12. O Church of Jesus, Arise, shine: for thy light is eome, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For behold. the darkness shall cover the earth. and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. Isa. 60:1-2. Glorious things of thee' are spoken, Zion City of our God: He Whose VVord eau not be broken, Formed thee for his own abode: On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? VVith salvation's walls surrounded, Thou mayest smile at all thy foes. Q Q EQ EQ E' Q3 Q SQ K3 E0 ESX Q. ICE Q vi Ea ICQ Q E' Ea Q Ea G'
