principles of the church under the following headings the church the head of the church the minister the offic ers the members the church what is the church it is the house of god god instituted a sancutary among his people israel that they might sense the right attitude of worship and the church has come down from that day to this through much persecution as we enter the house of god let us realize we must come and worship in spirit and in truth we must get away from the idea of mere formality or habit let us not desecrate the house of the lord it is the place of worship the psalmist entreats us to look unto the hills from whence cometh our help to worship god we must come to realize that it by complete resolution of our mind body and spirit let us listen to the voice of god calling to us as we sit and meditate upon his word and they that hear his voice let them make sure that they harden not their hearts lest gods wrath come upon them the church today is no different than it was in the dayj of christ men were buying and selling in the temple and the lord had to drive them out with force for they were destroying the house of prayer so today the church has installed many foreign ideas and corrupted the temple of prayer we as a people must come to through the death occurred in toron to on saturday of the widow of the late john gregg of ux- bridge who died in 1915
