(ByRev.T.Slater,S-J)

'theLambethConferenceReport, whichhasjustbeenissued,saysvery trulythatastheChurchofChriston earthisavisibleChurchitmustpossesscertainvisibleandrecognisable markswherebyitcanbeseenand knownbymen.Christtookcarethat HisChurchshouldhereadilydistinguishablefromothersocietieswhich werenotHisChurch,butwhichwould layclaimtothehonour,asHewell foreknew.AccordingtoEnglishlaw, genuinegoldandsilverplatemustbe stampedwithaHall-mark,sothat buyersmaynotbecheated.Christ impressedHismarksontheCliurch whichhefounded,sothatnosynagogueofSatancouldbemistakenfor it.Inorderthatsuchamarkmay fulfilitsfunctionitmustbemoreeasilyrecognisablethanthatwhichit makesvisible.Henceitwillnotdoto saythatthepreachingofthetruefaith isamarkoftheChurchofChrist.We knowthetruefaithfromthepreach- ingofthetrueChurchofChrist,we donotknowtheChurchofChristfrom thepreachingofthefaith.Moreover, ifamarkistoserveitspurposeit mustbeareallydistinguishingmark, notsomethingwhichiscommontoall theobjectsconcerned.IfIwant someonewhodoesnotknowhimtodistinguishJohnfromThomasandAndrew,ImustnottellhimthatJohn hastwoarmsandtwolegs,whenthose marksarecommontoallthree.
