Excerpt from The Church and Her Prophets

Under the terms of three striking figures the Master has set forth the mission of His Church in the world. The disciples are as light in the world, bearing witness for the truth, enlightening the conscience of men, making men know what is that good and acceptable and perfect will Of God. They are the salt of the earth, purifying, sweeten ing, preserving the life Of mankind from decay and death, and making it meet for the Master's use. They are the leaven hidden in the meal, to transform and change it, and make it fit for the Master's table. The Church is not a mutual benefit society, though it benefits in incalculable ways its members. It is not a social club, though its social life is most marked. Over and above all, it is a society intent on the one object of purifying, sweetening, transforming, saving the entire life of the world. 'the true and grand idea of the church,' said Thomas Arnold, 'is a society for making men like Christ, earth like Heaven, and the kingdoms of this world the Kingdoms of our God.' - samuel zane batten.

I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a. Son of Man, and he came even to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, and all the peoples, nations and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be de stroyed. - daniel the prophet.
