Volume 46. “THE BRIDE OF CHRIST” The Church is spoken of as the Bride of Christ. If we are indif ferent to his bride we are also in different to him. He (Christ) is spoken of as The Moundation and Head of the Church: “Being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holp temple in the Lord; in whom ye also are builded together for a 'habitation of God in the Spirit. Eph. 2 : 20—22. Jesus was asking his Apostles one day “Whom do men say that I the son of man am? Then he said to them “whom do ye say that I am? Simon Peter said, "Thou art the Christ the son of the living God.” Jesus said, “Upon this rock (this fundamental truth) I will build my church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it." If you believe that and trust me and believe me to be the Christ the son of the living God you are part of my church. Cor rupt conditions prevailed in the early church II Tim. 4: 4 and cor rupt conditions prevail in the churches today—but to the faithful ones (the real church) —the gen uine Christians—the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I am so glad that Jesus estab lished the church and thaat all of his true followers make up the church universal (they are known to him). Ecclesia (the Greek word for church) conveyed the same gener al idea of “Called out” and, in ad dition, “Collected unto Christ”. The figure of a building was used for the church as an institution. A building is never called a local church in the New Testament, though such usage is now current. Looked at as an institution figured by a building, the fundamental are: (1) Christ is the designer. He de signs it for kingdom purposes. (2) He 'is the architect He specifies the material which goes into the building. (3) He is the buildre. He selects the material which fits into the specifications (4) He t is the foundation. Other foundation can no fan lay. (5) He is the owner. “My Church” is the title to owner ship. (6) He is the occupant. He inhabits the building by the Holy Spirit, The figure of an organism was used for the church as an institut ion. (1) <?hrist„is the head. (2) The church is Christss body. The body is vitally connected with the head and draws its life from that sour ce. Cut off the head and the body is dead. (3) Christ is also “head over all things to the church.” He exercises all power in the Universe in behalf of the church. (4) The church expresses Chrit’s fullness. As Christ conveys the conception of Gods’ nature, so the church con veys the conception of Chrits’ love, authority, power and glory. The. last quotations are taken from “The Churches of the New Testament” by George W. McDan iel. W. R.

Come out to this meeting. Today & Tomorrow Louie D. Newton MONEY A thoughtful young man writes: “I have been asked to speak to a group of young people on Money. Please send me some suggestions on the subject.” The young man goes on to say that he has settled on three pas sages of Scripture as the basis of his talk—Luke 12: 21, Acts 8: 20, and I Timothy 6: 10. He couldn’t do better. Money is a medium of exchange. It is usually thought of as the established and controlled form of exchange by orderly gov ernments—made, or minted by such governments, with a basis of value and circulation. Our mone tary system was based on the gold standard until the days of rapid change in the 1930’5. Many phrases have grown up around the idea of money—“ Mo ney makes the man,’’ “Money ans wereth all things,” “Take the cash and let the credit go,” "Money talks,” etc. etc. What should be the Christian’s attitude toward money? This is the question which my young friend is raising, I judge. Jesus speaks the firs; and the last word on every subject, and He had much to say on the subject of money. One’s attitude ttoward his money, whether it be little or much, usually determines his atti tude toward all ultimate values in time and eternity Jesus made this very clear in numerous parables. Take the parable of the rich farmer, Luke 12: 16—21. Here was a man who regarded money and the things money can buy as the final goal in life. Jesus called him a fool. Putting it positively, Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount: “But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you,” Matthew 6: 33. Money is a means to an end —a blessing which God has placed in the hands of people by which they may glorify Him as they worthily use it in serving one another. It is not to be despised, neither is to be worshipped. We must give an ac count unto God for the use of every penny that ever passes thru our hands. The first dime of every dollar belongs to God. We may well seek to use the next eight dimes of every dollar for worthy needs and purposes of life. And we may wisely save the last dime of every dollar for tomorrow’s needs. Such an attitude ioward money will mean a happy life whether you have little or much. New Harmony Church Will Celebrate 100th Anniversary Sept., 4th.

William Ralph Bottoms, farmer, teacher industrial engineer, minis ter and now at forty-one is a ir.m isterial-premidical student, prepar ing to be a medical missionary.

He has already received and has accepted an appointment from the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta where he plans to receive his medical training beginning on September 12, 1955. Ralph was born on a farm in Forsyth County, Georgia at Frog •town, a village near the city of Cummihg, January 14, 1914. He re mained on the farm for twenty seven (27) years before moving to Atlanta in 1941. During the farm years he taught in the elementary and junior high schools in Forsyth County for six (6) years. Between school terms and cotton farming he worked as farmer-fieldman for the local farm agent on the AAA and Soil Conservation Programs, and found time to raise some of those famous North Georgia broilers. In Atlanta, Mr. Bottoms was first employed by Sears, Roebuck and Company in the Mail Order Divi sion as a warehouseman. Because of his two (2) years college credit and suggestions for improvement, he was promoted to Time Study Man and later to Methods Engi neer. During the latter was years, 1944-45, Ralph was associated with Bell Aircraft Corporation, Marietta Georgia, and later with Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, Air craft Division in Atlanta His ser vice was in the capacity of indus trial engineer with both firms. On October 8, 1945, immediately after the end of World War 11, Mr. Bottoms was employed by the Chev rolet-Atlanta Division of General Motors Corporation as industrial engineer and Supervisor of the Standards Department, where he remained until October 9, 1953 when he resigned to enter Mercer University to continue his college career. Ralph was graduated from Gum ming High School with first hon ors May 19, 1933, and later attend ed North Georgia College, Georgia Teachers College and the Univer sity of Georgia. • He entered the Gospel Ministry October 12, 1952 at the age of thirty-eight (38) and was licensed to preach by the Lakewood Heights Baptist Church, Atlanta, Georgia January 7, 1953. He was ordained as a minister of the Gospel by the same church September 26, 1954. He has been supply pastor at the Camak Baptist Church, Camak, Georgia, and is presently pastor of WILLIAM RALPH BOTTOMS the Haddock Baptist Church, Had dock, Georgia. He received his call from God to be a medical missionary Febru ary 1, 1953. Ralph set about im mediately to prepare himself for the opportunities ahead by resign ing his position at Chevrolet and making application for entrance at Mercer University the following Fall term. He completed all other details so that the path would be clear to allow God’s will for his life to have lull play. Many “Lives of great men” have inspired our subject, including Dr. Albert Schweitzer of Lambarene fame; Dr T. W. Ayers, a close friend who spent a quarter of a century in China; Dr L. E. Smith, Pastor of Park Avenue Baptist Church, At lanta, Georgia; Dr. C. W. Pruitt, a cousin who spent fifty-four (54) years in China; Dr. Charles E. Ful ler, founder and leader of the Old Fashioned Revival Hour, Los An geles, California; Dr. George W. Truett, Dr. Theodore Epp and many others. Several honors have been bestow ed upon Ralph at Mercer including membership in the following hon orary and scholastic fraternities, Gamma Sigma Epsilon (Chemistry) Chi Alpha Omega (Ministerial), and Beta Beta Beta (Biology). He also holds membership in the Mer cer Ministerial Association, the Christian Service Fellowship, the Alembic Club and the Baptist Stud ent Union. His Poem "Carmimnan’’ won third prize in the annual poet ry contest sponsored by the Cicer onian Lieterary Society of Mercer early in 1955. Mr. Bottoms resides at 1406 Col lege Street (on Mercer Campus) with Mrs. Bottoms, the former Mil dred Mae Heard, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Heard, Cumming, Georgia along with their youngest daughter Carol Dean, who is fif teen (15). An older daughter, Mrs. Nancy Louise Jordan, resides in Atlanta. Hoping that his experiences as stated here will be beneficial to others, especially those who have waited to “Begin Life at Forty”, or older. “God will bless you, friends will love and pray for you and will support you and best of all you will be happy, immensely happy, if you are doing what you were destined to do,” says this one who has tried part of the way. However, Ralph hastens to warn that it isn’t easy and that those j who seek ease and comfort would do better elsewhere. “Anyone who contemplates a radical change in middle life had best ‘Count the cost before beginning to build’, he advises, “But do not be discouraged if you are willing to pay the price, the rewards faar outweigh the dis advantages, and destiny v>ill have its man for all eternity”, he said, ending the interview.
