people either spend their time fighting some other groups, or even fighting among themselves. The trouble is that most bonds uniting men are neither deep nor strong enough to stand the strains

life places on thepti. Business partnerships break up at the breath of failure; political combinations are as fragile as old china; while as for international alliances, most people have now forgotten that ten years ago Russia was counted one of our best friends and Germany our worst enemy. The True Center There is one fellowship, and just one, which is world-wide, which has cemented persons and peoples of the most diverse kinds, which has endured past the dying of innumerable other bonds and unions. This closest of all the bonds known on earth is the fellowship of Christian love. If some romantic person rises to ask if the bond of love between man and his wife is not the strongest tie between human beings, it must be pointed out that the records of the divorce courts show that the marriage bond is much less likely to break down where husband and wife are both practicing Christians, — that* is to say, it is Christian fellowship that keeps marriage-fellow-ship from breakdown. Now whal makes the fellowship of true Christian love so strong? It isn’t that Christians are so much more lovable than other persons. The secret is not in the Christians, it is ba Christ. Why do iron filings gather so closely together around a magnet? Take’the masmet awav and thev ’••lie cAlteh and it soon falls apart n indifference and even bitter '.'.We, love, because he st loved us.” is the secret ot -ht Christian fellowship , Barriers .• have many barriers in mod •I life which divide us into tigh -tups, misunderstanding arid, of n undermining one another "here are management and labor ban and rural, adults and adoents, white and Negro, high d low salary-bracket, and so on .ie fact is that none of these ■arriers is anywhere nearly sc •ong as was the line, in earl? istian times, between Jew anc '.ile. or between master anc /e These were simply un ;sable barriers. Master and ve. Jew and Gentile, were not r.ss distinctions; they were iron - '• d castes. The most astounding ling about the Christian church r. its fresh early years.—astound g even to leaders like Paul—was lat these caste-lines had been a'sed in the Christian fellowship 'ew and Gentile remembered only ■it they both loved the same ■’.irist who had died fpr all.

Are social, ra cial. economic class-lines ‘drawn between this and other churches even inside the church itself, oi is this one place where all meet on one common ground? Do the members share with one another and if so, what do they share? Is there for example a sharing tn prayer? If one member has had •vhigh experience, do others hear about it? If one needs the other’s prayers, is he free to say so. and why?

Giving To God By Mrs. J. R. Meadows People do not go to church bemuse they are unwilling to pay he price of what a sincere worship of God will exact of them, 'or we go to church primarily to icknowledge out utter dependmce upon God, and to express >ur gratitude to Him for all the wondrous wx>rks that He has done into man. We do not go to get from God. ut to give God something—give Him our love, our devotion, our very lives. We go to present unto Him "ourselves, our souls, our bodies, to be a reasonable, holy, and living sacrifice unto Him.” We go to face God in that one place, where we may be certain that He is peculiarly and specially present. We face Him In our unworthiness and need, most grateful that He hath not “rewarded Us according to our sins, nor visited us according to our iniquities," knowing that the sincerity of our humility is met by His gracious loving kindness and tender mercy. And to the sincere and contrite heart seeking Him in worship, God does come and fill the emptiness of our hearts with the graciousness of His love, and our enfebeled lives with the strength and power of His Holy Spirit. THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE "Every man accordingly as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver."—ll Cor. 9:7.
