The church was established as the evangelizing agency of the Kingdom. The chief reason for the existence of the church is that it might be a recruiting station for the armies of Prince Immanuel. Within its walls, in its services, the saints were to learn the message of salvation, to be inspired by its ordinances, its rituals, its songs, to go afield to batter down the gates of hell, to rescue precious souls from the doom and damnation, the curse and condemnation of their sins. A church that is not evangelistic cannot be in the full sense of the word evangelical. A church that is not striving with all of its interests for the salvation of immortal souls, no matter how fundamental its doctrines, how orthodox its practices, is backslidden, disobedient, dishonoring, and dishonored.
