Lessons from the Early Church
/ Corinthians, 3:1-5 for Sunday
June 20.
Corinth was luxurious city con-
spicuous for its wealth and its gross
immortality. The church which Paul
had founded there was distorted by
practices of paganism. Paul fearless
ly preached the gospel OF righteous
ness.
V. /. "And I, brethren, could not
speak unto you as spiritual, but as
unto carnal, even as unto babes in
Christ" These Corinthians were de-
fective Christians as seen in the ac-
tions toward one another; the hu-
man elements as seen in the pagan
interfered with Christian living.
v. 2. Il have fed you with milk,
and not with meat; for hitherto ye
were not able to bear it, neither yet
now are We able" Paul presented
elementary Christian truths. They
were not able to comprehend more
advanced teaching.
v. 8. "For We are yet carnal; for
whereas there is among you en-
vying and strife, and divisions, are
we not carnal, and walk as men.
Here is taught that the true Church
is where Christ's spirit Of love and
righteousness prevail
". 4. "For while one saith, / am
of Paul; and another l am of Apol-
los; are ye not carnal?'' If the spirit
of division is fostered then true
Christian brotherhood ceases to
thrive and the church loses its pow
er.
V. 5. "Who is Paul, and who is
Apollos, but ministers by whom ye
believed, even as the Lord gave 10
every man" All are ministers, who
serve to supply religious needs OF
others according to the ability God
has given each one and according to
the tasks assigned them.
v. 6. Il have planted, Apollos
watered; but God gave the in
crease" Paul was the preacher and
Appollos the pastor, but what either
did was nothing compared win
what God did for He alone gave the
increase. This truth is so important
that it is repeated in the following
verse.
V. 8. sNow he that planteth and
he that watereth are one; and every
man shall receive his own reward,
according to his own labor" True
servants of God are one IN purpose
and in spirit thus setting an example
for the members of the church. COO
rewards each Christian. Each Chris
tian worker is rewarded in accord
ance with his faithfulness IN MS
work. Let it be known that to be
Christian involves not only trans
formation Of character but the eX-
preston of that character In Chris
tian service.
v. 9. "For we are laborers togeth-
er with God; ye are Gods husban-
dry, We are Gods building A true
Christian engaged in Christian SER
vice can look the world in the face
and say: "I am helping God" one OF
the greatest honors bestowed on man.

TOWNSEND PLAN A REALITY

According to DR.. Francis E.
Townsend and our Representative,
Robert T. Secrest, and other repre-
sentatives and senators. the Town
send bill will be enacted into law
in 1941, as they say this is the only
plan ever offered that will solve the
unemployment and bring prosperity
to our nation. We often meet peo-
ple-often Townsendites-who say
they thought the plan was not maxi
ing any progress and it had been
forgotten-but they are sadly mis-
taken. They are not up with the
times and do not keep themselves
posted on Townsend progress.
The Townsend plan is stronger
now than it ever has been at any
time in it's history If every Town
sendite and those who believe in
prosperity and the welfare Of the
United States would read up on this
matter and attend Townsend meet
ings, they would be surprised to
know of the progress and strength
that is behind the plan. Every
Townsendite who has ever had
their name on the club list would
do we'll to help the cause by renew
ing their membership and attending
every meeting to learn what is be-
ing done, and as secretary of the
Pennsville Townsend club, l espec-
tally urge every member who has
ever signed, to reinstate if you are
not already in good standing Your
membership card is dated, examine
it, and you will know whether it
has expired. If it has, you will
greatly aid the enactment of the
plan by enlisting as an active mem
Der, as congress is watching the
membership.
Pennsville club meets the second
and fourth Thursday evenings each

June 26-and every member is urg-
ed to be present, also the public is
invited to attend this, the
last meeting before the Townsend |

This is to be the greatest convention
ever held and congress is aware Of |

Leaders of the 42nd annual Inter-
national Convention of Gideons,
which is to be held in Grand Rapids,
Michigan, July 1927, have announc-
ed that the slogan for convention
is to- be, "Arm Them with the Gospel'
too" This slogan has been selected
in conjunction with the great pro-
gram being carried on by the Cid
cons in supplying the armed forces
of the United States with copies OF
the New Testament and Psalms
Much of the Convention business
and program will be centered
about this great new enterprise OF
the Gideons. Instead of a Bible Ded-
ication, which is usually feature
of the annual conventions, the local
Gideons are planning a great Test

J. Edgar Hoover, who knows more
about American moral conditions
than any other man, gives strong
testimony to the failure of secular
education to lift mankind out of it's
present moral slough. He says that
there are in America three and
half times more criminals than stu
dents in our universities and col
leges. Let us recall the words of
Washington in his farewell address:
LET us with caution indulge the
supposition that morality can be
obtained without religion Whatever
may be conceded to the influence of
refined education Oh minds Of pc
culiar structure, reason and exper-
ience both forbid us to expect that
national morality can prevail in ex-
clusion of religious principles.
