No so udependent of the influ h; and if either can ex her the Church has the First of all we will has benefitted so i may be given he inestimable I binding societies by the expect tin the land 'out • the bene shc their of some benefit benefactorB. How can Chris Sooieties aid the Church? First, by swearing allegiance to it. We should never allow any thing to get be tween us and the Church of Cod. When ever members beicome more allied to so cieties than they are to the Church, it is ■- then that that society is changed from a ‘helpful agent of the Church to a danger < ous organization which is sure to work a forfeiture to the best interest of its mem ibers both in time and in eternity. ‘‘‘Render unto Caesar the things which 'belong to Caesar, and unto God the things which belong to God.” Give to ’the Church what belongs to her and to the societies what belongs to them. Secondly, by teaching its members to he loyal to their Church as they are to ttheir society. Thirdly, by teaching their members that it is a gross crime to break their •obligation which they have taken at God's altar. Many societies look at their members breaking their Church ligations to pay homage to them and they are pleased to caTI it progress; but dear Christian friends, it is retrograda tion of the speediest kind. -Fourthly, by patroling the highways and hedgeBof the fields of sin and arrest ing those who are pondering the paths which lead to an endless state of misery and pain and bringing them into the fold of the Church of God. It should be tht paramount object of these societies tc Christianize every unregenerated persor with whom they come in contact ant turn them over to the care and keeping of the Church. What^the Church maj chance to miss, let the societies find, an< thereby bring up the rear. Let the so . cieties glean while the Church reaps. Fifthly, Christian societies can aid tb , Church in a financial way, which the; : are doing to some extent, by raisin 5 means to help liquidate the indebtedne i and meet the current expenses: Sixthly, in an infinite way by te ’.its members the same doctrine i taught by their Church, and tthem to obey accordingly, hoi • much they maiy differ in opii -.the Church njtrtwithstanding, tever law is in existence when tthe church we are duty bound 1 ,y to observer— society should not sa/y “A >n will hurt no man ”Tlf the 1 says “You must not dan ole,” the, should not say “It is no yiarm; exercise; and any one /who d lend credence to its in incy is/a foggy, a back number.” If thire is &py doubt 'innc in your mind as to the action, give yourself tb doubt.
