What Is the Church of God?
WHAT Is the Church of God, will be the theme of the SIGNS next week. Abdiel, one of our oldest and ablest writers, will have an article direct on the subject, “What the Church Is.” This will be followed by articles from other able writers on “The Church, False and True Since Christ;” “The Test of the Church;” “Multitudes in the Valley of Decision.” The Bible teaching on the true church of God is a theme on which every Christian should be grounded and established. One of the strongest points of apostasy is to try to show the true church from grounds and arguments that are absolutely incomplete and unscriptural. We should know for ourselves what God says upon the subject, and then we can be secure in the right. Railroad Wrecks.—On September 2, six persons were killed in a railroad accident near Hinton, W. Va., and a number of others were injured. On September 3, six more were killed, and more than a score were injured, in a wreck near Caledon, Ontario. Ten or twelve years ago, a writer who has made a close study of the conditions of this time made the statement that we were coming into a period in which it would be very dangerous to travel. There is such a mad rushing hither and thither among the people of this day, and then the habits of drinking and kindred evils have taken such a hold on men, that there is not the carefulness and consideration for human life that there should be. The rushing crowd may pause for just a moment to gaze in curiosity at a stricken victim, and then it rushes on with but little thought of the life that has come to an untimely end.
