I WILL BUILD MY CHRUCH....
,‘Upon this rock I will build
my church: and the gates of
hades shall not prevail against
it,” Matt. 16:18). The clause,
‘‘the gates of Hades shall not
prevail against its,” can have
two possible meanings: 1) The
gates of Hades shall not pre-
vail against the building of the
church; that is, the powers of the
Hadean unseen) world could not
prevent Jesus fom building His
church. Christ is determined to
build His church and the gates
of Hades could not prevent him
from doing so. (2) The gates of
Hades hall not prevail against
the perpetuity of the church;
that is, shall never die or be
come extent. Both ideas are
taught in the Holy Scriptures.
„ Hades here refers to death; it
is the abode of departed spirits
between death and the resurrec-
tion.
Hades did not keep Chrst’s
Spirit from coming forth and
His body being raised from the
dead and thereby defeat His
purpose to build His church.
Neither has death, nor any oth-
er power, ever completely des-
troyed the church from the face
of the earth. The ‘‘kindgdom
shalll stand forever” Dan. 2:44)
‘‘It cannot be moved” Heb.
12:88). Although the church did
apostatize in the centuries fol-
lowing the days of the apostles,
just as the Lord has predicted,
yet the Word of God, which is
the seed of the kingdom, still
lives, becuase it is incorruptible.
“Being born again, not of corru-
tible seed, but of incorruptible,
by the word of God, which liveth
forever” 1 Pet. 1:23).
Since very seed produces after
its own kind, it is possible to
have within any community in
any age a congregation of lis-
ciples, identical in every respect
with the original, by preaching
the same gospel. Thus if there
were no congregations to be
found on this earth in any age
since its origin, “Heaven and
earth shall pass away: but my
worlds shall not pass away”
(Mark 13:31). Proof of the the-
ory of church succession is both
historically impossible and whol-
ly unnecessary. But the assur-
ance of the establishment and
perpetuation of the church is far
from a promise to make the
church always infallible in all of
her teachings. Therefore, where-
ever Christ is preached and peo-
ple believe in Him, repent, con-
fess Him as the Son of God,
and are baptized (immersed) in-
to Him, Christians are made!
“And He said unto the , Go ye
into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature. He
that believeth and is baptized
shall be saved; but he that belie-
veth not shall be damned”
(Mark 16:15-16).
“And now why tarries! thou?
arise, and be baptized, and wash
away thy sins, calling on the
name of the Lord” (Act. 22:16).
“For with the heart man believe-
the unto righteousness; and with
Then the Lord adds them to the
the mouth confession is made un-
to salvation” (Romans 10:10)
Then the Lord adds them to the
church, “And the Lord added
to the church daily such as
should be saved” (Acts 2:47).
Hence, the instrument by which
people are born anew and by
which the church is perpetuated
is the Word of God. Attend our
Meeting, Oct. 6-12 7:30 in the ev-
ening. John W. Goodwin, preaeh-
er.

Agent Urges
Selection of
Grain Varieties
It is time to start thinking
about the small grain varieties
to be planting this fall and also
sources of seed, reminds County
Agent Dan Pawlik this week-
Several factors enter into the
choice of a variety. Among the
factors to be considered in mak-
ing the final selection of a va-
riety include weather or not ir-
rigation will be available and
fertility requirements.
Resistance to diseases is also
a very important consideration.
Stem rust irs a major oat disease
in the Coastal Bend and in some
years drastically reduces winter
grazing.........
Florida 500 is the most leaf
rust resistant variety at this
time. It is an early variety, pro-
viding peak forage in late Ja-
luiary and lasting into April.
Suregrain, Coronado and Alber
are still holding up and can be
used. A 50-50 mixture, or there
about, of these varieties with
Florida 500 has been found to be
a good practice is this area.....
Milam wheat can be used as
as a dual purpose but should not
be grazed after Mid-January if
a seed crop is desired. Chris and
Penjamo wheats are upright
types that will produce early for-
age but do not have good re-
covery. ........
Disease problems can be fur-
ther reduced by planting seed
which have been treated with a
chemical fungicide. Seed treat-
ment or purchase of treated
seed will give protection against
seed decay, seedling blight and
some races of smut.
In the absence of soil test in.
formation, the following rates of
fertilizer should be considered:
40 to 60 pounds of nitrogen; 20
to 40 pounds of phosphorus; and
0 to 15 pounds of potassium.
