it’s march 15 for us, too (in a BIG way) ^ A With your own tax bill to think about right now, maybe you're not too much interested in ours. But then again, maybe you should be: You see, this is a self-supporting, business* managed electric power company. As such, wo pay our full share of taxes, just as you do. For 1949, for instance, we'll pay about $6,400,000 in taxes, federal, state, and local. This money will help build and maintain roads and schools, pay for police and fire protection.,. As a matter of fact (and this may surprise you)—* we pay more each year for taxes than is available for our stockholders! Or to express the same thing another way: Of the money you pay us for electricity, more is returned to the public in the things tax money buys than is paid to these men and women whose savings make them owners of this company.

Church Leadership

Lesson lor March 12, 1950.

Dr. Foreman

##i*tHATS in a name?” Differenl churches have many differenl names for the persons who hold office in them. But whatever quarrels the churches have had, few of them are about these names. The thing is more important than the name. All of us agree that churches do need organization Some people would have us go back to the New Testament for our pattern of organization. We cannot quite do this, for one important reason. Where in the New Testa ment would you dig in? Would you take the letters to Timothy and Titus as your guide? There you find bishops (overseers, superintendents) mentioned, also elders and deacons, but you do noi find their duties laid down. Go back into the story of Acts and you will find a place where elders are first mentioned in the Christian church (11:30); go stiU farther back and you come to the first election of deacons (Acts 6), In your first Utopian Church, will you model it after the three-officer plan, or two, or one, or (going back before Acts 6) none at all? (Apostles, of course, are not now available. m Scholars in most churches today are pretty well agreed that what we have in the New Testament is not a rigid pattern of organization, but rather certain principles on which any successful church must be built. Let us see what some of these are.

The Job and the Man WLL CHURCHES are agreed on ** one point: A church must have leadership. What is everybody’s business is nobody’s business. Some one must draw up plans, think ahead. No organization in the world is self-starting and self-operating, not even th« church of Christ. The early church knew this. But they elected officeri only as the need for them arose. In Jerusalem there was not a deacon in the place until that emergency came up in the matter oi relief. In St. Paul’s first missionary church (Acts 13, 14) he did not get the elders first, and then find churches for them. On the contrary, he founded the churches first and then appointed elders for them. It would be a good idea for a church today to take stock of its officers once in a while. Are they necessary? For example, do you elect a deacon to ‘‘take the place” of one who has moved away, or do you elect a deacon to do a job that can’t otherwise be done? * • *

Sweetness No Substitute For Skill l^rOT ALL CHRISTIANS are qual■l 1 ’I ified to hold office in the church, and very few, if any, would be equally good in any office. A Sunday school superintendent, for example, might make a poor showing at a prayer-meeting talk. A man who can conduct a successful financial campaign and keep the church up to a high level of generosity the year round, may not be just the man to plan the educational program. A lovely sweet lady might turn out to be a stupid Madam Chairman. Paul knew all this and in fact insisted on it. Each separate kind of job in the church calls for distinct qualifications. Just being a good Christian was never enough to insure a man’s (or a woman’s) being a good officer. * • # Personality IfFTER ALL, however, personal ** character means more than technical skill. A man may have such flaws in his character that his influence does more harm than good, so that even if he is an accomplished musician you still would not want him as ‘‘Minister of Music,” or even as choir-leader. A man whose own home is always at sixes and sevens (as Paul pointed out) is a poor candidate for any executive post in the church. A man who can’t keep from quarreling in everyday life is no man to entrust with responsibility in the church. A man of good character can, and will want to, learn the skills his job calls for; but a man of sleazy character ju£t does not care. Be careful of the sort of man you elect to office, in church or out; for the rank and file are not going to rise above their leaders.

Muncie Factories Qet Additional Kaiser Contracts Muncie industries have been given contracts amounting to $80,000 a day, according to the announcement made by the KaiserFrazer Corp.
