of others as one loves himself. But
, one thing distinguishes the Church
form al other groups in the world, for
its members are To Glove one another
as l have loved you" And that is
the Spirit of Christ in the heart of
the Church.
WHAT is THE CHURCH FOR?
In those words of Jesus its mem
bers were to be the saving salt of
earthly life And it is just as true
now as then that the real light and
salvation for society is in the follow
ing of the teachings of Jesus. Where
it goes it prevents decay in(the social
order. Where it goes it drives out the
things that darken the social life. In
the slight sketch we are given Of the
workings of it in the warm fellowship
of those early days in Jerusalem
there was the swift coming of JOY
among them all so that grief was ban
ished as they shared each others
worship. For they all shared in it
and every member of the group found
development for the new Spirit that
burned in his heart. There was teach
ing, for they continued in the Apos-
ties Doctrin. This could only be
learned by listening, observing and
expressing so that the first Church
was school. There was a new social
life for they went from house to
house, they ate together, there was
abundant fellowship so that the
Church was a big family with whole
some social expressiveness. The rec
reational side of life that is being
emphasized today was the earliest ex-
preston of the Church in terms many
of which can be part of it's life now
as then. 1t was sheer wholesome JOY
business. 1t was a sharing of posses
sion. No one was compelled to part
with anything that was his but the
love was too much the life for one to
see another's need and not seek to
meet it. They gave eagerly, joyously
and generously so that there was no
lack among them that could be sup
piled. In worship they used the old
forms and the old places but they
were radiantly changed in this sing
ing shouting group of lovers of both
the Lord and of folks. So there was
in that early day some of the things
that should characterize the life of
the Church in all the days. It's wor-
ship was spontaneous and sincere.
Its teaching was definite and clear.
It's social life held no class barriers
and ministered to every need of the
friendship side of living. It's giving
was equal to the needs to be met. 1t
