How the Church Began

THE infant church was like all
l. human babies; it began small
and poor. No bystander would have
expected it to live; but it had life
in its heart. Two forces set that
church on it's way. One was the
command of Christ.
The people who were In it, or
rather the people who were the
church, took their orders from
Christ. 1t was because of him
that they went out to bear wit
ness to him to the "uttermOst
parts of the EARTH"
Then the people were filled with
the Holy Spirit; they were guided
constantly by the Spirit. The book
Of Acts has often been called the
"Acts of the Holy Spirit rather
than of the Apostles.
Leaders
COD never does. for people what
~ they can do for themselves. So
guidance of the Spirit was never a
substitute for human leadership. A
true church is not mob: It acts, as
the New Testament church did, In
an orderly fashion.
One OF the church's first prob
lens was that of finding leaders.
The history in Acts is largely the
history of certain leaders-John,
Peter, Paul. But these were not
alone. Not even the Apostles tried
to run the church like dictator
ship. The people themselves chose
the officers who were ordained by
the Apostles.

DECKING his way slowly through

DECKING his way slowly through
L the massed humanity crowding
toward the exits, Matt Walsh. sports
writer, pondered the sensational
ending of the ring battle he had just
witnessed. He was blase about quick
knockouts; he had seen many OF
them and undoubtedly would see
many more. But he still thrilled to
the brilliant - If boxing skill could
be called that and masterful job
turned in by Spot Mathers.
Well, here was a new champion
and Walsh felt he should know more
about the boy. Something Of his per-
sonal life.
It was after midnight when he
reached the hotel at which the new
champion and his entourage were
stopping. At the door Of the Math-
ers' suite he was halted by a blast
of notes.-the victory celebration.
The big living room was bedlam.
Walsh glanced about the room but
saw no sign Of Mathers. He sought
out the boys manager, Pete Miley,
busy in the role of lavish host.
"Mathers? Just went down the
hall to room Ill.," Miley answered
his question. "Go on down and see
him"
Walsh did. The door was slightly
ajar. He tapped lightly, waited, then
tapped again. When there was no re-
sponse he opened the door and
peered in. He stepped back, closing
the door softly. Mmm-m, that
tableau was something unexpected
and unusual on victory night in the
fight racket. Young Mathers, his
arm around a dark-haired girl - q
sleeping baby tucked in carefully
between pillows at the head of the
bed. This was no time to break in
for an interview, so Walsh returned
to the other room. He managed
there to corral Biff Jones, old-timer
in the ring business and Mathers'
trainer.
''Biff," said Walsh, chow about
