DEMOCRATS TO (Continued on Pare Five) Preaident Truman'a." Pretending a confidence that he undoubtedly does not feel, Butler declared; "I say with a degree of seriousness that 1 expect the Democrats to carry all 48 states.” With equal optimism, he predicted that Democrats will write a platform that can be endorsed by southern conservative* and northren liberals alike—even to the segregation plank. The blue-eyed, stiver-thatched chairman disclosed that Democrats expect to spend at least $2,359.000 for rndio-telcwaion time during the campaign, Bn amowM that tops Republican planning ,by $160,000. He said not more than five half-hour speeches will be scheduled for nation-wide broadcast, the remainder going for fiveminute shows and spot announcements. The Democrats, he revealed, are definitely planning to use the traditional campaign train which Republicans are discarding this year.

S., Bulganin turned the question over to Khrushchev, who brought an outburst of laughter from reporters with bis answer. The Communist party chief said: “Our people have a great desire to visit the United States but there have been cases when even people invited to come to the U. S. have not been granted permits.

Church Must Orow Lessen fer April 29, 1956

A CLUB can elose its membership list at any time, It can decide not to accept any more new members Mor six years, or sixty. But if a church decides to do the same, it is not a church any more, only a club. A church that is for good reasons not growing may be a true church of Christ; but a church that does not want to grow

Dr. Foreman

is certainly no church that Christ would recognize. "GO,” Jesus said, into aU the world. A church that has no Go about it, a church whose horizon is limited by its own parking lot, a church without an cutreach.

is a parody on a true church. It is not the real thing. HanllM and Handleap The early Christian church was surely the real thing. It was a going, and therefore a growing, church. But it could have had, it it wanted, all the mouldy excuses which lazy churches offer nowdays to explain why they don’t reach out For example, the early Christians could have said, "We can't reach out, we haven’t any money.” But they managed to get around, or at any rate some of them did. They could have complained, "We have a shortage of ministers.” Well, they did, but they had no shortage of laymen. By the time the distinguished apostles got down to Samaria they found an enthusiastic layman Philip had been there already and got a work started. The church could have said. “We can’t afford to send missionaries all the way to Africa.” They couldn’t, to be sure. But what they could do was to make a Christian of an African in their own country, trusting that he would take the gospel back to his own people. (And he did, the tradition tells us.) A track man does not complain about seeing hurdles in front of him; he Jumps over them. A good golfer does not “go home mad"' because he; has to play with a handicap against hlm. He take* It as a com-1 pliment and a challenge. So the' early church took their hurdles and handicaps as challenges, Layma and Clergy When you see a present-day church with no outreach, one of the reasons may be that the people leave all the outreaching' to the minister. He is supposed to be Interested In missions, sure, that’s his business. But the people —well, we have a hard enough time raising money with our bazaar Just for the preacher’s salary, you can’t expect us to think about missions! In fact, one has seen churches where the only really “active member” was the preacher. Now the early Christians talked no such nonsense. They did not have the hard-and-fast division into “laity” and “clergy" that churches today have, even if they use other words like “member" and “preacher," or “pew holder” and "pulpit orator." The Apostles, it is true, were men set apart. But the outreach of the early church was imstly done by people who were *not Apostles. And so far as we hear in the book of Acts, the Apostles did not dress differently from any one else. They did not claim exemption from taxation, they did not claim reduced rates at stores or when traveling. They were not given titles like Reverend or Doctor,— everybody called them Just Paul or Peter or whatever, without so much as a “Mr.” in front of their names. They worked at outreach, yes, but the point is, they were not looked on as professional outreachers while the “laymen” were professional sit-backers! MiHllsdst and Lenaly Man The early church reached out in two ways. They went where the crowds were, and also they went to far lonely places. We hear about crowds in Jerusalem and Samaria and elsewhere. We also have the story of Philip going down to • desert road where his only congregation was one lonely puzzled foreigner. The going church today, the outreaching church, the New Testament Hnd of church, also will be reaching out to the multitudes, and to the lonely man. It will be sending missionaries into great cities, in our land and overseas, working among overcrowded tenements and swarming streets. It will be reaching out to cowhands on the open ranges, to lighthouse keepers’ families along the seacoast, to little villages on the edge of the Arctic and under the dripping tropical rainforests. “.. —.— ... ■ — • ■ - » ■!» r* urged to be present.

Power Not In Crowds Rev. J. R. Meadows Many are alarmed because a few are drifting away from the church. However, this indicates restlessness and superficial interest rather than the failure of Christianity. The presence, or absence, of a crowd does not determine the vitality of a cause, and spiritual strength is not measured by counting noses. Remember that crowds filled the city while Jesus trained the twelve >on the hilL Crowds played in* the coiisenms while Christians prayed in upper rooms. And the monuments of the crowds have fallen to ruins while the Christian church has guided the life of the world! A small crowd with conviction and devotion has power. Zwick Monuments 315 W.
