Problem Church Leases for May 20, 1956 THERE are two different kinds of problems with children, as every father and mother know. One is the kind of problem you have with a sickly child, who has allergies, won't eat, play or sleep the way a" healthy child should; perhaps a retarded child. The

K W

other is the kind of problem you have with a child who seems sometimes to be altogether too healthy; growing too fast to keep up with, noisy and hungry; perhaps ahead of his grade

in achool. The Dr. Foreman problems of growth may be even more difficult than the problems of illness; but all the came, the problems of development are more to be desired than the problem* of decay. Will the World Iwallsw the Church ? The Christian church at Antioch, one of the great cities of the world at that time, had its problems; but they were all the kind of problem that goes with growth. Dr. C. R. Erdman in his book on Acts points out that in this church we , meet with four new things: a new name for the believers (Christians), a new kind of church (of which more presently), a new leadership, and a new center of missionary activity. Another new thing, which indeed was the mother of the others, was the new kind of city in which the church there found itself. Up to the time the church began in Antioch, the larg-, est city where there were sizable groups of Christian* wa* Jerusalem. That was a city which, so to speak, made religion a specialty. The long-time religion of Jerusalem led right up to Christianity. But what about Antioch. That was a pagan city, religions of many kinds flourished there, and none of them led up to Christianity at all If the environment at Jerusalem was partly favorable to Christianity, the atmosphere of Antioch seemed more than likely to smother It. Religion in that city., was what it is tor some cities to-day—-not by any means the most important interest Antioch was a big business town, a central city tor trade and transportation. People were much more interested in getting rich than they were in religion. Uncongenial People One of the problems, new at Antioch, was whether it would be possible to include in the same church groups of persons so different as the Greeks and the Jews. That had not bothered the Palestine church, because there the various races and nationalities kept to themselves. The Jerusalem church was all Jewish, the Samaritan church all Samaritan, and so on. But in big cities people mix and mingle pretty freely, and so it was in Antioch. Would different races, backgrounds, and so on, mix in one church? Somewhat to Barnabas' surprise, maybe, they did. When Christians are really what they aim and claim to be, the church becomes the “fellowship of the uncongenial." People who oft dinarily have nothing in common, discover that if they have Christ in common, they are bound by a tie stronger than any other in the world. Uadtrs|to When Barnabas went up there to Antioch, commissioned by the church in Jerusalem to look around and use his Judgment about what to do, we read that he “saw the grace of God and was glad." But the grace of God, in man or church, does not iron out all the problems. We have to think. And Barnabas must have thought long and hard about one problem which concerns every church large or small: leadership. Barnabas could easily have taken on a smaller church; but that one at Antioch was just too big tor one man, any one man. He could have picked up some assistants there, no doubt, and stayed as top man; or he could have invited in one of the Jerusalem leaders. But he needed more than raw assistants." And the Jerusalem leaders would have felt pretty strange in an inter-racial church. So Barnabas took a rather difficult trip, all the way to Tarsus in Cilicia, just to get a man he had never forgotten; the then unknown (or, if known, suspected) Saul The future of a church depends on its leadership. Blessed is the church with a pulpit committee as wise and far-seeing as Bamabasl classes for all ages. 10:30 a.m., prayer and praise service with the class leader in charge. 7 p.m., Christian endeavor. 7:80 p.m, Wednesday, prayer time at Pleasant Grove..

Have We Lost Sight? Rev. J. R. Meadows Isn’t it true that in the seeming hustle and, bustle of life that we are so engrossed that we sometimes lose sight of the true meaning of events, occasions, seasons or days? Isn’t it true, more or less, in regard to the one day in the week that our Heavenly Father has selected as a day of rest and worship? Are we permitting self-glory, desires, ambitions, commercialism to overshadow the day and rob us of inspirations which would mean for us happiness, peace, joy and contentment? After six days of labor and the cares of everyday life it is necessary for the average person to attend church on Sunday and recuperate their spiritual life. At the church you are under the influence of the Spirit of God which will give you spiritual strength to withstand the trials and temptations of the following week.
