We record our that public opinion throughout the world is rising in favor of peace, that reason, not force, arbitration, not battles. A world court, not war are being promoted as a means of rived. Social service cunuot go o» with' out money supports, liberal giving, aite, w® find this enjoined as a Chris­ tian duty apd privilege. The les­ son chapter W II Corinthians 9 shows how <Jod expects His children to give, and how He will enable £h®m to give. Giving should never b® thought of as an unpleasant duty or, a yegrpttabte necessity, but as a supreme privilege and, an act of wor­ ship. our giving to God is a grate­ ful response to Hi® giving to us. The chapter' ends with the wonderful’ words: "Thank’s be unto God for His unspeakable* gift?’ ■Social service, then, is not a dis­ covery of the twentieth century; it was outstanding fact in the life of th® early Church, and is enjoinecl in the epistles of the New Testament® But let US remember that the expres­ sion, "social Gospel” is a misleading one. There can be no Gospel to hu­ man society except by way of the individual, vate society Gospel that about is the the individual sinner; died for our sins, again for our justification. ’Society’ as a mass cannot accept that; men, women and children are born one at a time, and men, women and children must be born again one at a time. The Gospel to the individual is th® only Gospel there is. As individual sinners are saved, and one by one are made pew crea­ tions in Christ, their social life and contacts and service are transformed and revolutionized? and' they can be­ gin to render social service that is pleasing to God, and that really helps their fellow-men. But society can be lifted only as its members, one by one, pass from death to life by faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour.

Roulston, L.D.S..D.DA True Christianity has not only al­ ways been a religion of social serv­ ice, but it has been the only religion of true social service that the world has evei’ known or ever will know, One cannot be a true Christian with­ out loving his neighbor as himself, Yet thews has arisen, within the past twenty-five years, a movement and teaching of what is called “the so­ cial gospel,” and those who hav®. promoted it have set it in contrast with, and over against, what they call the Individual appeal of the Gos­ pel. They tell us to forget any idea of saving ourselves and get interest­ ed in. saving society. The “social gospel” sounds very unselfish, and its advocates have often made the old Gospel, which is the only Gospel, look selfish by icontrast, It is im­ portant that we should discern the truth and the falsehood in these mat­ ters. The Scripture passages for this lesson make one thing very plain: the-pure Gospel of the early Church did not centre the interests of early Christians in themselves, but was social in its expression, following incidents prove this The believers at tne start—there ;were 5,000 or more of them (Acts 4; 4).—pooled their interests and property. , “Neither • said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.” This was .Christian Communism. It was not commanded by the Lord? nor is there any teaching anywhere in the New ■Testament that this should be done, {then or now; but Acts record it as history without commenting on the ■ principle involved^,.-,There is nothing in the Scriptures' toTkliggest'th at God wants any form of communion to be followed in the Church or among, men in general; there is much Scrip­ ture to .the contrary, showing that God gives men property and talents of every different sorts and amounts and holds them responsible as ste­ wards according to what they have. There were poor and needy people in the early Church, as today; it was the privilege and duty of the Church to care for these, as today, and the apostles learned that this was not being administered fairly or wisely. The Grecian or Hellenist Christian widows had evidently been overlooked, while the Hebrew Chris­ tian widows were provided for. The apostles, rightly understanding that their own duty was rather than temporal matters, and that “it that we should leave God, and serve tables?’ asked the Church to appoint “'seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom w'e may appoint over this business.” This was done; and Dr. Schofield comments: “It is beautiful to see that these (seven) were all Hellen­ ists, as the Grecian names show,” Stephen, Philip, etc. What a contrast between the spir­ itual character and consecration of these men, appointed to look after business matters of the church, and the type of business men So often entrusted with th© property interests of Christian churches today! ' The The life of the cliurcli woulj be very different today, for the better, if all church officers Were chosen in the same way. It is significant that the fifst Christian martyr, Stephen, was one of these Spirit-filled business men; significant also that this social service of the early Church was con­ ducted exclusively by men of prayef ahd deep spii’itua.l life; for immed­ iately after their appointment we ffead that "the Word of God increas­ ed; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly? Another early Christian was Woman n^med Tabitha Sh® was a whole "Ladies’ Aid So­ ciety” in herself she made coats and garments for the poor, and when she died it was a great cSorrow and a. gteat teas to th^tn.

A strong and in­ trepid swimmer, Barbara also handles a canoe with skill, although the latter is not so important, since, as her family . agree, “Barbara can always swim home from anywhere.” Barbara’s recent achieve­ ment was done merely as a time saver and not with any desire to catch the limelight. , The young lady and her guest, Winnie Moser, of Detroit, who, with the former’s parents, are at their summer home at Bay- j field, were invited to tea with | Barbara’s grandmother, [ jFrank Glass, of this city, who !' is also summering at the lake. Parental authority decreed I however, that Barbara first should take a stroll across the river, a fairly lengthy stroll, meet the fish man and secure a five-pound lake, trout for the family dinner. Barbara is a good messenger, but the walk promised to be long and hot and she was to be on® of the two guests of honor at a tea party. $o she decided to- hustle the Job. She tied a stout piece of striitg about her sturdy young person, donned a left-handed glove, shoving tho . “ fish money into the fingers, slipped into her bathing suit and dropped from the foot of the garden into the river. Swim­ ming upstream, a distance equal to two long city blocks, the young shopper climbed ashore, selected her fish, and with tho help of an admiring fish man and the stout string, tied the fish firmly to the shoulders of her swimming suit. Then sho dived off the dock into IS feet of Water and swam home, hr the face of a brisk wind, turn­ ed the "\thale” over to the commissariat department, slip­ ped intoi her party toggery and went to tea, the whole thing accomplished in next to n® time.
