The Cliurcta in Hie World
The church is the light of tlie
world, the salt of the earth, a candle
upon a candlestick. These facts are
r.ot ipiestioned by any one so far as
T know. The only dispute is as to
what constitutes that light which
the church is to the world.
The term world signifies the whole
human family. Light means either
knowledge or its source. "That
which makes manifest isli/ht. " (iod
is light and in Him there is no dai k
noss at all." Then the church is th«
| source or medium through which the
light or knowledge is communicated
to the world. I'ht pulpit M the td
ta t/tor >f th* lmrfr/. The press tells
how far the students are aivanced,
i and the character of the instruction.
, Show mo the laws of your *tate or
tow n, and which are enforced, and I
will tell you to what jrade of certifi
cate the church is entitled.
Read the (honored) town ordi
nances and you have an insight into
. its moral condition. The same i«
true of county, st.ite or nation.
If these things be true, these con
clusions just, iiow are we to account
for si» much immorality in high
places ' Has the light been dark
in ss ' Has ttie .\orid iost its pow
ier? lias the teacher been direiect
