top ranking officials in gowns- * ment, and banking and mortgage finance guilds addressed the home builders. Cong. Henry O. Tolle, of ' lowa, and Sen. John J. Sparkman, i of Alabama, of the house and senate banking and currency commit- ' tees, both spoke and pointed out ' that the condition of tight money

will continui 1 . It is staled by the home builders association that there will be an annual need of 1.400,000 new homes for the next four years, but the tight money situation will probably hold this figure to 1,000,000 or less. Persons high in the field of banking and mortgage financing told the home builders that the underlying cause of tight credit is a shortage of money and that the main source of mopey to be spent will-tome from savings.

Going Concern v ■ • Lesson for February B, 1957 A "GOING concern" is one that prospers, does business and keeps growing. If the Christian church is not a going concern, maybe the reason is that it Is not s going concern. That remark needs explaining; it is not meant as nonsense. Concorß? The Quakers have a good word:

Dr. Foreman i

Concern, which has a deeper meaning than "firm” or business. It means warm, deep, even self-sacri-ficing interest in some ono or some group or cause. Lincoln had a concern

tor the Union; St Paul had a concern for Gentiles; mothers have a concern for their children. Now the church, if it is the true Body of Christ ought to share his concerns. We know what it Bvas that concerned him—people, the “multitudes," the masses as we now speak of them. The church ought to have—and to be—a living concern for all sorts and conditions of men. A church without the human, humane concern which Jesus bad, is not what Christ intended. flehig? Furthermore, the church, so far as it is Christian, ought to be a going concern, not only a sitting one—not only a praying one either. Plenty of churches are (so to speak) sitting concerns. The preacher preaches about "lost” people but fibbody gets out to hunt for them—perhaps the preacher doesn't look very hard himself. The members talk to one another about the dreadful state of the worM, but they do nothing about it. Missions? What’s that? The fact that their denomination is actually going into the ends of the earth, and begs them for help, does not get through to their minds. (Maybe the preacher’s fault again?) They have a concern for the sad state of the world, but it’s not a going concern, only a talking concern, a tut-tutting con- I cern,— nothing alive. So the church ' dwindles and dies, it’s not a going concern any longer because it Isn’t tt going concern,—it has no real concern, and it never goes anywhere. | No Mission, No Church The first Christian church was the twelve apostles. It was a 100% ’ going concern. Jesus did not plan , for any of them to remain behind. The directions he gave them are not now followed by any mission- ; ary society that has much success; circumstances alter Christ- i ian strategy. But all the same, suppose those twelve men had pre-; ferred not to go when Jesus sent L them? He chose them for two purposes, we read: to be with him ; and to be sent out There are; always Christians who enjoy wor-. ship better than service. Ten peo- i pie will be out for church, to one who will come out for volunteer service, of any sort. But there came a time, when Jesus had to say (in effect) to his closest friends: You have been with me enough. You have heard all you ■ need to hear, learned all you need ; to learn—for now. Go out now and change people, change the world, in my name! If they had refused, if Jesus could have found no one wiping to go, there never would have been a Christian church. And if the church ceases to be mis- 1 sionary today it will become a fossil, a relic, a curiosity, without life or usefulness. “I Wouldn’t B« Htrt 1f...” Not everybody can become a foreign missionary. (Indeed the < Twelve were sent out first to a region smaller than Vermont; their home country.) But there are various ways in which the church can go out, and send out There is a man who has found his life's chief work and interest in developing the moral and spirihis state. He said not long ago to a group of religious workers: "I wouldn't be here if my church didn’t feed me.” What he is doing is outside the church; he works through public agencies of the State. But his inspiration comes from the church. And his church would not have inspired him and “fed’.' him if in turn It had not beefkinspired and fed by the Living Bread. Where the church as an organization cannot go, its members, stirred and supported by the Spirit of God, must go, into ‘ life everywhere, in the name of Jesus. tlMUkl Onneil *f th* Charche* *t CkrM la IB* U.

How To Kill A Sunday School Rev. J. R. Meadows 1. Drag it to death — never start on time. 2. Talk it to death — take all ■the teacher's time talking about last week’s events. 3. Just talk about absentees, don’t visit or contact them. 4. Pay no attention to new people in the community, if they want to go to Sunday School they’ll find one, somewhere else. 5. Don’t divide large classes, they’ll have to go to work if you do. 6. Don’t provide for babies, the mothers can stay home with them until they are three, and the father will probably stay home too. 7. Leave vacancies unfilled, classes don’t mind being without
