'"'" 1 ' ' "'"oi"; Why a.diristianc Should Join the Church ' By REV. HOWARD W. POPE Moody Bib! Institute, Chicago Tl'XT And th Lord added to Hie I Ch ch dally such as wvie "c".b Acts 2:47. Why does a soldier enlist In the army? Hecuuse there he can rende r the most olle live service; Ihere his lnllu ence will help, and not hinder; there he can have the sympa thy nnfl co-operation of other sol diers. In every war, however, t h e r o are some soldiers who refuse to join the army. They prefer to light independ eniiy. They are called guerillas. Jut iMterllla warfare as a rule is i li effective, dernoralizinir, and disreput- able. It damages Hie very cause lt tries to h"lp. In like manner there are some peo ple who claim to be Christians, but who refuse to join the church. Like guerillas, they unconsciously damage the very cause they ought to help. They cannot give a single good reason for their position, but ihere are many reasons why every Christian should Join some church. I. There he can render the most ef fective service. He is one of many, who are ull working under one com mander and for the sumo end, and who, collectively, can accomplish ; imt could not be done seiur:nely. If it is a good thing to have churches in n community, then Christians should support them. ltemove the churches from a town, i "'"J ''in1- ",,u'u i'' -'- , ncss Wl)ul(, and nil good peo- I pl(, W(1U(, Illlive (nvay Sun,,,lv ,vollI,l beroinc a holiday, life and property would be unsafe, and the town would soon have such a bad reputation that no decent person would move into it. For this reason every Christ inn owes It to himself, his family, to society, and to his Gcd, to join and support some church. II. It is the only consistent position for a Christian. In the ehurcTi his in llueuce will help aud not hinder; for an outsider, who ought to be lu tho church, damages the cause of Christ Just as much as nn insider who ought to be out. A Christian who refuses lo join the church practically .says to the world lhat the commands of Jesus uro not binding or important, which is not III. A Christian who does not Join the church will soon lose his joy, and ' Perhaps his hope. If, knowing his I blaster's wish, he refuses to comply j he cannot be a happy person, I ,Ui,y he a saved man, but he will '"s0 'he joy of his salvution. And '. he loses Ins joy he wilt also lose his power, for "The joy of the Lord is your strength." IV. To be a member of Christ's church is the highest honor this world affords. Its sacraments are the most sacred, Irs literature uiu most nuhliine, ulid ils fellowship th most sweet and ''""'long. All lodges and oilier or- i -''llllz"lions are maii-uiade affairs. Jul t the church is a divine Ins, 0,0 i., founded hy Jesus Christ, guided Anil guarded by the Hiy spirit, having for its mission tt; evangelization ot the world, and for ils desiiny eternal fellowship with ,;,1 and lietnen.
