In the early days we read many times of "the church in the house" (Rom. 16: 5;

Col. 4: 15) of one or another.  We believe that the apostasy which everywhere

manifesting itself will compel the faithful once again to meet in this primitive way.

When this does take place, the domestic qualifications of the bishop and deacon of

I Tim. 3: will be better appreciated. It will be obviously impossible to meet in the house

of a brother whose lack of control makes his children's behaviour a scandal. Neither

could the meeting be held in a home where there was lack of unity between husband and

wife. With regard to the question of teachers, we believe that when the Lord's people

met together, it would not be long before one or two would manifest that they were

"faithful men, able to teach others also", and would be recognized as such.

We are fellow members of the One Body, and our privilege it is by the working

together of every part to make increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love.

Let us avoid by all means a mere multiplication of "Meetings". Let us shun any approach

to a "sect", but let us as fellow-members of one body seek by all the means sanctioned

and sanctified by the Word, to build one another up in the faith.
