and other organizations In de-
veloping and stimulating the
work of the church in the
local congregation.

and the study Of Christian
literature.
o. To inspire men to support the
financial program OF the
Church, 9th locally and de.
nominationally.
10. To promote boys work in tn.

IL. To reach unsaved men with

and program.
Is. To foster in men a votal and
active concern in community

to promote Christian race re-
lations.
IA. To inspire men to enter he
fields of business and politics
as a Christian vocation.
Is. To promote the establishment
Of Christian h mes and to
guide the family towards
fuller Christian development
and cooperation.
Is. To guide men in intelligent,
effective Christian social &C.
ton.
Many Of these objecfivss may
be broken down into even more
specific ones. The committees
working within the areas in
which they fall should assume
this responsibility for . more
effective purposing. planning
and execution of their own
particular tasks.
ORGANIZATION
To be effective, an organization
should be functional. That is, II
should serve the purpose. of the
group and not the group some
organizational scheme. A highly
organized group does not guar
antee its effectiveness. Some
times a group may have too much
organization. Whatever organi-
rational scheme will get the max
imum effectiveness from the
group is the pattern to use.
Therefore til organizat ionsl
structure Of The Laymen's Lea
que which is discussed here is no
means the only pattern by which
The League in given local
church may be bull. What is
suggested here. however. is a
workable organizational set up
which may easily be adapted 10
a mems group in either a large or
small congregation.

Neither is II commendable IN

for that mstter-which is char

The very nature OF the life that
we live-in the church and out
of the church-demands organi-
cations as the only effective way
ultimately to achieve desired out
comes for oneself or for the group
OF which one Is part.
In order that laymen may meet
the demands which God in Christ
through the church imposes upon
them, they must organize them
selves into mesningful purpose
full groups. This chapter will
deal with that organization
known as The Lsymen's League.
WANT THE LAYMEN's
LEAGUE IS
The Laymen's League is known
BY different names: The Brother
hood or The Churchman's Broth
erhood, The Mems Council. The
Laymen's Union. But in reality
the names refer to the same gen.
eral type of organization the
organization OF men in the local
church.
The Laymen's League repres-
ents organized manpower in the
local church. II is an organization
to which, theoretically. all the
men OF the local congregation be-
long. II is the channel through
which laymen make their best
and most effective contribution
TO the life of their church and
the fulfillment OF rs purpose. Its
program is determined by and in
response to the needs and inter-
ests of men.
The League Is also q move
menf. II Is . movement for the
enlistment of churehmsn In me
work of the local congregation;
q movement 10 reach unehureh-
ed men for membership and
work in the local ehurehi and
4 movement 70 win unsaved
men TO God In Christ and his
Church. But In the largest
sense. II IL = movement OF
Christian m n TO ehrisfisniss
the community in which they
live. their state. country and
the world.
In the third place, the League
is a training center and service
agency for growing laymen. II
is there that their special talents
and abilities are discovered and
directed into the most useful and
satisfying channels through OPP
portunities of services and leader
ship within the organization. Like
wise, attention and effort can be
given TO strengthen discovered
weaknesses.
Moreover. the League program
leads them intn q greater under
standing OF the christian faith
and the meaning Of the church
membership; the purpose and
doctrines, policy and practices OF
their church; and prepares them
TO present and discuss these vital
matters intelligently.
The purpose of the Laymen's
League is involved in what IL is.
Its multiple purpose may be
stated as follows:
/. To enlist and coordinate the
manpower Of the local con-

DETECTIVES
The detectives OF the Laymen's
League are suggested by its pur-
pose. Some of these detectives
are immediate and may be achi-
eyed rather quickly. Others are
more remote-that Is, long-range
detectives - a d will require
more time. Indeed, they are pro-
gressive detectives which Will
keep lsymen engaged toward
their fulfillment through all their
life. These detectives are as fol-
lows:
!. To provide an organization
through which a vital an d
meaningful fellowship among
men OF the local congregation
may be promoted.
2. To provide an organized me-
dunn through which men OF
the local congregation m y
serve its purpose most effici-
emily and become a more Wit
al part OF its life.
To enlist all the men in active
Christian service to the
Church through the local con-
gregation.
4. To promote among men a
more definite an dintelligent
understanding of the Christ
ian faith and life and tn e
meaning to the Church.
s. To keep men aware of their
duty and obligation as men,
bers o fthe Church through
the local congregation.
6. To foster in men an intelli-
gent loyalty and devotion to
the Church through the local
congregation.
7. To coopeate with the pastor,

like awful bad politics. because
you will lose votes.

TAxES-What should be done
about the excise taxes on luxu-
ries and some important necessi-
ties OF life which continue TO stifle
many lines OF business nearly
five years after the end of hos
tilities in World War II? Every
one in Congress agrees that some
thing should be done to take
this war-spawned burden off the
shoulders of business. according
to Rep. George A. Dondero (R)
Of Michigan, but that is as far
as we get
II these taxes were reduced
or taken off, business could ex-
pand, more jobs would be Gre
ated and many desirable goods
and services could be sold az
prices people can better afford.
We agree with the Con-
gyessmn's opinion that IL would
be good common sense TO lift
taxes on transportation. COM
are necessities instead OF luxu-
riss. and which bore no excise
taxes before the war. Luxury
taxes should be reduced to their
prs-war status.
