Church l''nlfi"lion.
I ;tm awure that some writers up-
hold denominational divinions in
the church. I propose to thow thai
divisions have, been and are a ilep.vs
sion itnu a . "'

Bpiinji of deterioration in the
church.
Itarly Clmrrh I'iuini!;ir.
Some nineteen hundred years u'jo
Jesus Christ, the founder and head
of the church, went to His homo in
the sky leaving unto the Apostles
the work He h id beun; the found
inr of the Christina -Church. Thev
took to the work willingly on ac-1
count of the sincere love they hore
their Master. They establisheil
John, Peter or Jasnes, or Paul, but
in the name of Jesus, the Christ.
Those of us who take time to i
think, know Unit this movement set
on foot by Jesus, the sou nf a Oali-
lean carpenter, win, in the time of
IheApostl.s.cxcee.lingiyunpopu ar

shame and disgrace, the fr.ftVring
and seeming defeat, fell upon Him,
promptly forsitik Him to the cruel
mercies of an unjust tribunal. And
the little band of faithful followers
were disorganized, defeated, disgrac
ed, broken-hearted. They were ex
ceedingly unpopular, an t the tiling
they rallied their scattered forces j
ami went uraveiy, as we hnow, n
the work their Master I-ft .tlem.
They endured every hanttlrp.
They were tried before courts a'
unreasonable and dishonorabV
the one which tried Jesns. The',
were stoned, b Hind, imprisoned and
crucilied.
Pioiuers Were I'lala Cln i-tians.
The pioneers of the Christian
Church worked without thought of
sellish glory. They liad one end in
wow to believe in God and save
men from their sins through the
blood of Jesus, their lately crucilied
Master. They were concerned
about religion alone just the ture
inir ef Hearts and wills to their Lord
and cot about having the new con
verts go over to Hphesus and join
i:i with the body of Christi ins there,
