morning to church, we say. Again
we mean by church the people of a
certain form of belief, as the Episcopal
Church, the Methodist Church.
Still again we refer to the Church as
a body of believers In Jesus Christ.
When we say that Christ loved the
Church, and gave hjlmself for it,
what do we mean by the word
church?
one meaning?an assembly "'of the
people of God, a society of .^Christians.
Sometimes the word refers to a
very small company of believers In
Christ, as when Paul said In Col.
4:15, Salute The Brethern Which 1
Are in Laodicea, and Nympha, and

Sometimes the word refers to people
living in th^ same city, many
thousands of people, as Acts, when
Luke tells us "Then tidings of these
things came unto the ears of the
Church which was in Jerusalem."
Sometimes, again, as D?. Thomas
Witherow has pointed out, the word
ecclesia. church, means an assembly
of God's people so large as to include
a whole nation, as when in
Acts 7:38, "This is he, (Moses)
Christ also loved the Church, and
gave himself for it." Here it means

There is a usual and a very help- |
'ul distinction made in most theolog- .
cal discussions of the Church. There
a what we call the Church Visible
ind there is what we call the Church ^

of all those throughout the ,
world that profess the true religion ,
together with their children, and is
the kingdom of the Lord Jesus *

My friends, first of all, the Church

was a Blood Bought Church. The '
Ihurch today is the Blood Bought
Hood Bought Church. The true '
"hurch toda yis the Blood Bought 1
Ihurch. It is the Church which God s
las redeemed by blood.
There >s little need to say that
his is in the Scriptures. You can 1

you come to the blood. You can

n the old testament unless you read

And according to the law, 1 may al
most say, all things are (cleansec
with blood, and apart from the shed
ding of blood there is no remission
Heb. 9:19-22.
Over and over you read of th<
blood in that early church in"th(
days before Christ came. And ii
Levitivus 17:11 God says to Moses
tor the life of the flesh is in the
blood; and I have given it to yoi
upon the altar to make atonemeni
for you souls, for it is the blood thai
maketh atonement by reason of the
life."
This blood shed under the old
:ovenant was a shadow of the
hinge to come, and foretold the
idvent of a lamb of God, who shed
lis blood once for all, and once for
ill time.
The Church of the day in which
he [Apostles lived was a blood
bought Church. We hear Paul say
ng ito the elders of the Church at
Kphesus, [when he spoke to them
it Miletus, Take heed unto yourselves
and to all the flock, in which
he Holy Spirit hath made.you Bish
ips, to feed the church of the Lord
^hich he purchased with his own

about the blood of Jesus
Hhrist, as he says "Forasmuch as
ee know that ye were not redeemed
ivith corruptible things, as silver
ind gold, from your vain conversaion
received by traditon from your
'athers; But with the precious blood
)f Christ, as of a lamb without
ipot: who veritly was foreordained
jefore the foundation of the world.
An the true Chuch today is made
ip of souls who have been bought
)y the blood. The Church which is
i bloodies church is a bibleless
hurch and a Christless church. It
s no Church. It can not be. A
Church is in its essence a body of

Now there are many people who

. in the world who are preaching that
- salvation does not necessarily have
1 to be by the blood way. Christ was
- a saviour, but not the only Savior,
. they say. Any man that will sacrifice
himself can be a saviour. And
? one and only saviour,
i The trouble with their doctrine is
1 is that they do not recognize the
' Christ to be who he really is. As Dr.
' Machen, of Princeton well says, "It Is
t perfectly true that no mere man can
t pay the penalty of another-man's sin
, but it does not follow that Jesus
could not do it; for Jesus was no
I mere man, but the eternal son of
God. Jesus is the master of the innermost
secrets of the moral world.
He has done what none other could
possibly do; he has borne our sin."
And this brings us to the next1
consideration. The Church God
Meant is a blood-bought church. It
is blood-bought, and so it is his forever.
And in the second place, it
is a Christ Controlled Church.
How wonderfully blended these
two characteristics of the Church
God meant! For the blood-bought
Church was bought by no mere man
' but by the Majestic Christ. And
His Majesty is from the ages to

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory

And pour contempt on all my

The Church God meant a Blood
Bought Church. It is also a Christ
Controlled Church. Christ is the
head of His Chuch. He is the King
of his Kingdom. That church that is
' getting away from the control of
1 Christ, that person that is disloyal
to the King, can never be counted
part of the Church God Meant until
allegiance is renewed and Christ"#
way restablished. The Scriptures are
' forever telling us that Christ is the
head of His Church. 1 Cor. 11:3 "But
1 I would have you know that the head
of every man is Christ:" Eph. 1:22"
' tells us that God made Christ to sit
" at His right hand in the heavenly
- p'aces, far ,above all principality and
! power, and might, and dominion, and
' every name that is named, not only
1 in this world, but albo in that which
is to come: and has put al] things

It is this Christ, thg Lord, who h

not only that this service should 1

ge PRUNING IN WINTER
irn v PREVENTS PEAR BLIGHT
ire RALEIGH, N. C., Dec. 16?Cutting
en out and destroying in winter, the
n(* twigs and limbs of pear trees killed
68
' by blight during the growing season
?r will control the destructive "fire
y blight" and eliminate the source of
ire Infection for the following year,
ve
"Pear blight is produced by a bac^
terial germ," says G. W. Fant extension
distease specialist at State
College. "This disease causes much
re concern to growers during the growing
season, althought it is during
the winter months only, that effecE8
live control measures can be put into
or
practice. The disease is characteriz-.,
ed by a death of the blossoms young
twigs a^nd later, the larger limbs,
giving' twighs of affected trees the
's* appearance of having been scorched
36 by fire. No method of control by
ry spraying has yet been found due to
'st the manner in which the disease
re works beneath the surface of the
Ve bark."
re
Twigs affected with fire blight can
DO *
re be distinguished in winter by the adt0
hering dead leaves and Mr. Fant
(jj states that it is a good practice to
go over all affected trees during the
ca dormant season and cut out, as far
,c. possible, al[ blighted twigs. The cuts
re he explains, must be made several
st tnch.es below the lower limit of the
ke cangker in order to cut out al ldiseasal
P" it is set apart for the work of the
'y Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is leading
it to the end and unto the goal
'd that God has for His Church.
ln "But ye shall receive power after
that the Holy Ghost is come upon
rk
you, and ye shall be witnesses unto
st
me." said Christ.
"Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations,, baptizing them in the name
' J
er of the Father, and of the Sou, and of
re the Holy Ghost; teaching them to
ke observe all things whatsoever I have
jjj you always, even unto the end of
^ the world."
ch What is this talk that the Holy
1st 's sent here to lead us in the
" doing? Does the Lord Jesus say that
ij. we are set aPart in the world to be
... teachers of science? Does thG Lord
e; L
lve Jesus say that we are to devote our
^ time and energy and resources to
n(j social service? Does the Lord say
that we his people are to dictate
policies of worldly government? He
sent us iorui 10 leacn peupie iu uue
serve all tilings whatsoever He commanded
us.
The Church God meant will do
that. It will teach the things of
nd ^rist. l'le things of Christ
have to do with life in its fullness,
the pains of life, the pollution of
life, the power of life, the progress
of life ,the preservation of life.
I A recent book by a great lover of
God's word and of God's Church
asks and answers this question: Is
there no place of refreshing where a
man can prepare for the battle of
life? Is there no place where two
or three can gather in Jesus name, to
, forget for the moment all those
od.
J things w hich divide nation from nation
and race from race; to forget
. human pride, to forget the passions
od,.
of war, to forget the puzzling prob.
terns of industrial strife; and to
ch.
.r_t unite in overflowing gratitude at the
^ foot of th'e cross? If there b0 such
' a place, then that is the house of
God and that the gate of heaven.
And from under the threshold of
that house will go forth a river that
will revive the weary world."
Ours is this wonderful privilege, to
be the Church God Meant, bought
with His blood. Controlled by His
Christ, and Sanctified by His Spirit.
God help us to strive to be the kind
of Church He meant, without spot or
blemish, a Glorious Church.
Whose one foundation is Jesus Christ

She is Ilis creation by water
and the Word;

One holy name she hlesses, partakes
