liy William T. Kill*
When Men and Religion "experts"
flew about the land with their slo-
II gran of "efficiency" they were hailed
| as a new force and as bearers of a
j new message. As a matter of fact,
| they really only illustrated the truth
that Christians have to get back to
the New Testament to be "up to
date," for a better program of eff
iciency than theirs was laid down for
itself by the early church in Jerusa
i lem, as succinctly told in the seven
| verses from the sixth chapter of the
Acts which constitute this Sunday
j school lesson.
i "Now in these days, when the
number of disciples was multi
plying, there arose a murmuring
of the Grecian Jews against the
Hebrews, because their widows
were neglected in the daily
ministration. And the twelve
called the multitude of the dis
ciples unto them, and said. It is
not tit thai we should forsake
the word of God, and serve ta
bles. Look ye out therefore,
brethren, from among you seven
men of good report, full of the
| spirit and of wisdom, whom we
may appoint over this business.
But we will continue steadfastly
in prayer, and in the ministry
Of the word. And the saying
pleased the whole multitude
and they chose Stephen, a man
full of faith, and of the Holy
Spirit, and Philip, and Proch
orus, and Nicanor, and Timon,
and Parinenas, and Nicolas a
proselyte of Antioch; whom they
set before the apostles; and when
they had prayer, they laid their
hands upon them. *
"And t the word of God in
creased; and the number of the
disciples multiplied in Jerusa
lem exceedingly; and a great
company of the priests were obe
dient to the faith."
Unrest and Life
Some timorous souls are disturbed
!by the discontent evident in the
| Apostolic church. Wherever there is
; life there ,is movement and unrest.
I All progress is a scries of adjust
ments. The one place of perfect pla
cidity is the graveyard, and often the
i city's advance causes that to be dun ,
and and built over. A big hint is*'
hidden, not very deeply, in this New
Testament episode, to the effect that
|the form and usage of the Christian
i church is not a fixed and rigid thing,
to which all generations should con
iform, but an adaptation to the chang
ing needs and conditions of every cen-
I tury. I pity the pastor of a local
j congregation who is dominated by a
few "conservative" members who
want things done in the good old
I way.
The message and mission of the
| church are eternally unchanged; but j
her methods may vary from year
j to year.
Some one has said that the two
angels of progress are the angel of'
I birth and the angel of death; both
bring changes. In this instance it
was growth that caused the church
|to modify her methods. That growth,
as Dr. Torrey points out, was not by
j addition, but by multiplication. Such
; an accession of new life made changes
inevitable.
An old-new evil seems to have de
veloped early in the Jerusalem
| church; too few men had too much
responsibility. The whole load was
!on the shoulders of the apostles.
! They were the busiest men in the
I city. No man can do efficiently as
many kinds of work as were required
of them. I talked with a layman re
cently who had been, until his day of
i self-emancipation, a member of twen
ty-eight boards, committees and so
cieties. Obviously, no one man could '
do effective work in so many different
capacities. Even the apostles, trained
in the presence of Christ Himself,
were not equal to the burdens laid !
on them by the rapidly Browing
church.
One .Man, One Job
"We must save ourselves for our
highest work," said the apostles.
That is a good life rule for every
Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff
The only sure way to get rid of dan- |
c*ruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy |
it. entirely. To do this, get about four j
1 ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply j
it at night when retiring; use enough !
to moisten the scalp and rub it in j
I gently with the finger tips,
j Do this to-night, and by morning 1
: most, if not all, of. your dandruff will
' be gone, and three or four more appli- I
j cations will completely dissolve and i
| entirely destroy every single sign and
, trace of it, no matter how much dan- I
' druff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
| look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. It is inexpensive and never
! fails to do the work. —Advertisement.

body. We must confess that even
ttie apostles were not a success at
work for which they were not suit
ed. "To every man his work," is a
i Scripture that needs often to be
| preached upon.
j If the churches to-day would adopt
the motto, "One man, one job" there
. would be a swift increase in effi
| ciency. The notion that a certain few
"leading men" must hold most of the
offices in a congregation Is a grave
j mistake. It cuts in several directions,
j The busy good men do not put their
I whole powers into any one task, so
j that the work suffers. Others who
i might do the work, are kept there
! from, to the loss of themselves and the
' church. That is a wise fashion which
i is growing in many churches of adopt
ing the rotary system of office-bear
ing. with a compulsory year of retire
! ment between terms. The plan pro
. motes efficiency as well as demo
i cracy. Our dearth of Christian lead
jers is partly due to the unwise con
|centration of offices in a few men.
i A golden word, fit to be embossed
and kept on his desk by every min
ister of the gospel, was spoken by
the apostles when they declared "It
is not fit that we should leave the
word of God and serve tables." Let
all the congregation cry "Amen:"
Back to your books and to your
prayer closet, brother pastor. The
church of to-day is suffering from in
tellectual and spiritual barrenness in
the pulpits. We have raised up a
breed of ministerial committeemen
and managers and errand boys and
social ornaments and after dinner
j speakers. All the while the people
1 are groaning for more of power in
| the sermon and prayer and family
| visitation. A famous Knglishmati once
! told a committee of parishioners:
j "Here are my feet and here Is my
head; chose which end of me you
I will have." They chose pulpit power
and got a share of pastoral work be
sides. This present Sunday school les
i son is one that should be studied in
every theological seminary and
preachers' meeting in the land; for
its principal point is "Shoemaker, stick
to your last; and preacher, put your
first work first."
Spiritual Conservation
When a bit of business was to be
done efficiently in the Apostolic
j church they did not seek out the
| men who had the highest rating in
Ithe Jerusalem Bradstreet, or who ran
it he biggest business in the city. The
modern notion that only commercial
i efficiency is needed on the board of
| trustees had not arisen to plague those
i early saints. For the somewhat tem
poral work of the deacons, the apos
jtles said, "Ijook ye out therefore,
brethren, from among you seven men
lof good report, full of the Spirit and
wisdom, whom we may appoint over'
this business."
Spiritual power for somewhat sec
ular service; that is the idea. The
trustees and deacons and ushers and
i sexton all need to be men of spirit
ual force. I was stirred to see a fine
tablet on the wall of a leading llous
j ton, Texas, church commemorating
the long and faithful and Christian
service of a sexton. In the fashion
able Church of the Covenant, Wash
: ington, the sexton is a member of
the deaconate. Indeed it takes more
grace to run the secular affairs of
! some churches than to preach the
! sermon.
j A crown worn forever by the laity
is that it was a layman, one of these
j seven deacons of the Jerusalem
'church, who was the first Christian
martyr. Any work done for God is
sacred. Ministry to tables is not less
1 holy than ministry of the word, if it
be one's duty. Dr. Washington Glad
j den finely says:
I"O Master, let me walk with Thee
J In lowly paths or service free;
I Tell me Thy secret; help me bear
! The strain of toil, the fret of care.
' "Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear winning word of
love;
Teach me the wayward feet to
stay,
I And guide them in the homeward
way.
"Teach me Thy patience; still with
Thee.
! In closer, dearer company,
i In work that keeps faith sweet and
strong,
: In trust that triumphs over wrong.
j "In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future's broadening
way;
j In peace that only Thou canst give.
With Thee, O Master, let me live."
The Deacons and the Revival
What gentlemen those early Chris
tians were. In this true democracy,
those in official position were quick
ly responsive to the wishes of the
brotherhood. When a faint murmur
iing arose—not a modern church quar
rel, thank God! —that the Grecian
j Christians were not as well looked
I after as the Jews —a natural condi
tion, owing to their being strangers—
ithe apostles quickly took action. They
did not hesitate to assume all the
blame themselves, and to recognize
that an injustice had unwittingly been
done.
More than that. The first spirit
of the church appears in the fact that
all the seven deacons elected had
Grecian names. This was "in honor
I preferring one another." The gen
-1 erous implication was: We shall
make sure that our sisters from afar
are cared for by appointing men
wlio know them: and we have all
confidence that the welfare of our
Jewish Christians may be committed
to the hands of the seven. We Jews
are a majority, it is true, but these
.Grecian Christians are our brethren,
and in Christ there is neither Jew
nor Greek."
immediately after the record of this
business meeting, and the putting of
the laymen to work, we read, "And
