In the July ITih issue of the

1 his r e f c r e n c e to increased
freight rates since the first of the

Company is concerned, for there
have been no increases in our

"Idontificel.'cn Marks of the
Family oi God"
•
Tire church or family of God
r an be identif ed by marks which
•/ere given by inspiration. Those
•ho are sincerely seeking the
Lord's church n. ay find it as dis
tinguished from sectarian organ
izations toy these marks.
T'*e tr’,"' family of God consists I
of all God's children He lias no
children out of his family, and
the family or house of God is
if is church, i! Tim. 3:15) There
fore. God lias no children out of
his church, for he has added all
the saved to the church. (Acts
2:47)
" he church or Family of God j
at irs h i s n a m e. Hence when 1
reeding the scriptures, one never]
fir. Is the church referred to by .
the names of the various denorn
in. 'ion of today, for they are not j
his family nor any part of it. It |
it ALWAYS "The Church". "The i
Church of God". "The Church of j
The Lord", "The Church of the !
Firstborn", etc. <
The plan of salvation taught |
by the Lord and practiced by his j
church or family, was Faith (Jno. j

•Matt. 10:32* Repentance (Luke j
13:3', and Baptism. (Mark 16:16: ;
Acts 2:38 >
To reject any of the above men- j
tinned commands disannuled the,
promise made by God of the for
giveness of sins.
You are cordially invited to
attend the services of the Church
of Christ and critically examine
thd manner of worship to see
whether it fits the pattern laid
down by God. We want to be
right, do you?
