CHURCH GOVERNMENT; WHAT IS IT ? Christians have no right whatsoever by themselves and themselves to decide what o> the church kind o government If should have. we are en¬ deavoring to please the Lord in our worship and work then we simply must find out whether the New Testament furnishes us a pattern of government. Since it does, then that settles it. It makes absolutely no dif¬ ference what we think about the efficiency of such a plan. We may believe that some oth¬ er sort of organization among Christians would more effect¬ ively work. But really would it? Do you actually believe that man can devise a plan in connection with any matter that is better than the Lord's? That is what we say we believe when we refuse to be satisfied with the divine pattern in ref¬ erence to church government. This one passage ought to bo sufficient. According to Acts 13 and 14 Paul and Barnabas made a tour through Cyprus and Central Asia Minor prea¬ ching the gospel and thus es¬ tablishing churches. Sometime after the establishing of these churches the Bible says (Acts 14:23) Paul appointed for them —the churches—ELDERS IN, Gospel of Christ, P. O. Box 15, Trenton, Georgia.

EVER\ CHURCH. Each church | or congregation had a plurality of elders. Now turn to Titus 1:5: "For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldst set ir. order the things that are wanting, and ORDAIN ELDERS IN EVERY CITY." If the gos¬ pel preaching resulted in the establishment of a church in a city, then later elders were or¬ dained or selected for that church. Paul on his second missionary tour started a con¬ gregation in Philippi. Later he wrote to this church a letter. In Philippians 1:1 he refers to them as the saints in Philippi with the BISHOPS (ELDERS) and deacons. As a local church they had bishops as overseers of the work of that church. At the end of Paul's tours he went by Miletus out from Ephe¬ sus and from there sent for the elders of the Ephesian church. Acts 20:17. Hear what Paul said to them: "Take heed unto yourselves and unto all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost hath made you bishops, to feed the church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood." Acts 20:28. Verse 17 refers to these over¬ seers of this local church as JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT, INC. Fear of national socialism mentioned in this country and again followed by the tion that America is strong cause of her private enterprise Not to sell pirvate but to make capitalism with labor joining hands agement, it would seem that start should be made with youth. This belief led to Achievement, Inc., an tion of boys and girls of stretching from New England Texas, backed by educators businessmen. Feeling that economic tomorrow rests on youth of today, these are encouraged by leaders to form their own business projects, under the dance of regional committees adults. The youngsters what they want to produce, miniature boards of directors, Is sue stock of certificates, hold dividend meetings. Stock is sold to neighbors at 50 cents a share and only 5 shares to a person. The youngsters get their raw material, equipment, advertise sell, ship, keep business books They work hard, make little money for they pay themselves but 15 cents an hour, but are greatly interested in their teen age industry.

Elders are bishops and bishops are elders in the church of the Lord. There can be no differ¬ ence when we follow the divine pattern. Deacons were simply as the name implies, SERV¬ ANTS of that local church. But, in Ephesians 4:11 Paul in referring to the bishops or elders of the churches called them "pastors " In New Tes¬ tament days each church had a group of men acting as over-; seers of the work of that church and only that church. These men were known as elders, bishops, or pastors. Their au¬ thority did not in any sense extend outside the work of that local church. For us today to have one man over one church is a di¬ gression from the divine pattern outlined in the New Testament. For us to have one man over several churches is a digres¬ sion. And for several men to be over several churches in a district is clearly a digression from God's intended polity for His church. Shall we endeav¬ or to please men or God?

S. Bureau of Census have figures to to prove that the married live longer than the single, both men and women. For your files, ev¬ ery 100 married men who die, 141 single ones pass on; for 100 married women, 120 singles suc¬ cumb. Widows and widowers have an even worse chance of living. The latter leave this life at the speed of two to one of the married men with widows hav¬ ing a slight edge of IV 2 to one. Mortality is highest among the divorced group who die in a ra¬ tio of two to one to those folks married and staying married. Maybe marriage makes the par¬ ticipant tenacious, stubborn and tough as whit-leather.
