town District, Has outgrown
Quarters.

Third Church OF Christ. Scientist.
has taken up new and enlarged quar-
ters at New Masonic Temple, 18th
street and New York avenue, where
services will be held tomorrow.
This church was organized last
March to relieve the overcrowded
condition existing in First Church and
drew its membership largely from
First and Second churches of this
city. It is intended to serve the
downtown district and has been oc-
cupying the auditorium at National
woman's Party headquarters, II Jack
son place.
This auditorium. however. seats
only about 400 people and was al
most Immediately overtaxed.
The new location, Masonic Temple
auditorium. has a seating capacity Of
about 1900 and will therefore afford
ample space for the present The
new quarters also furnish space so
that the Sunday school may be held
at II o'clock, the same hour as the
Sunday morning service, which was
not possible at the Jackson place
quarters.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON.

the apostles evidently did not consider
that the work of administering the af-
fairs Of the church was purely secular
matter, for they insisted that the men
to be elected by the church should be
spiritual men of good reputation, pos
sessing tact and good business .judg-
ment. The members exhibited tact in
their selection, for each of the seven
chosen were Grecian Jews, as their
pames testify. although the majority
of the church were without doubt Pal
estinian Jews.
Differences between Christians will all
disappear IL men would follow the
apostles tact in dealing with the prob
lens of service in the church. Differ
ence in policy. and government exists
tions. but the principles of efficient CO.
operative effort exhibited by the early
Christians are susceptible OF application
to all religious activities. Every Chris
tan has work to do in the church. The
work that the various members are
called to do should be adapted to their
training and capacity. All should be
moved by love for the Lord Jesus to do
their best for Christ and His church.
There should be spirit Of self-sur-
render upon the part of all the MEM
bers and willingness to work with ev-
cry other member cheerfully and heart
lily for the glory Of the Lord and the ad-
vancernent Of His church. The greatest
success will be attained when all follow
the leadership Of the pastor who has
been intrustcd with the direction of
the work of the church. The pastor
whose people follow him in service Goes
his best work. because. like the apostles.
he is free to give his time to the teach
ing and spiritual work of the church
The man or woman who fails to do their
part is a Stacker in the church just as
much as the man who refuses to help
win the war is a Stacker. The greatest
work of the church is before us. 1t calls
for all who love the Lord to rally to His
cause and share in the work that is to be
done in and through the Church for
Christ and humanity.
