Dr. Foreman

through in one 1 evening, important enough to re-read many times. It to the story—the only connected story —of how the Christian Church got started and how it spread. 1 The reader should

see the book of Acts in a modern English translation, in order to understand more quickly. All that can bo done in this column week by week will bo to point up some particular truth or truths of practical Importance for life today. "My WHsesses” The story of the Christian Church begins with Jeeps. He gave the marching orders. The church : to a true church when it carries . out his directives, it fades away ; into a no-church when it forgets the Master. Now the question : Americans always ask about anything—a club, a gadget, a ma- > chine, even a hole in the ground—is: What to it forf What’s it supposed to do, and will it work? What to the Church supposed to do? What to it for? That is a fair question. The New Testament presents the Church under various names, and gives various (though not contradictory) answers to that first question. One of the plainest of these answers to ill the words of Jesus which shine like a beacon-light in the very first lines of this book of Acts—a light which gives direction and meaning to the whole story, and Indeed gives direction and meaning for the Church of today. YOU SHALL BE MY WITXESSEB, Jesus said to his friends and followers. The first and main business of Christians is not argument, it to testimony. It to not concocting ideas, it is telling a story. It is not hearsay stories, it to perlonal experience. The business of i witness in court or anywhere •Ise is to state the facts as he tees them. The Church has many tasks and responsibilities; but if re forget this central responsibility wo are not much good otherrise. Testimony for Christ —witnessng on his side—is more than talk. When you order seeds or seedlings in the spring, you can read what the catalogue says and get quite txcited over the prospect. Every advertisement in the seed catalogue, every picture in it, is testimony—in talk. A much mom convincing testimony is what you or your neighbor actually raised. You are not going to believe in tomatoes any better than the real tomatoes you have seen and eaten, no matter what the catalogue says. But if you have admired the tomatoes from a certain kind of seed, you can let the catalogue go. The Bible has a great deal to say about Christ, and so does the Church. But it’s with the Church as with the seed catalogue—what really convinces people to some actual samples. The best witness to Christ that ean possibly be, to a good Christian. late All the Wertd The tragedy of the church to something that would be very Funny if it were not so tragically wrong. Every Sunday morning in almost any church, there will bo people who are making two mistakes at once. One is about what "witnessing'’ means. They think it means words, or words-and-musie. They take part in the service, they aing with loud voices, they say the nicest things about Jesus or shout “Amen!" when the preacher says them . . . and they call that “witnessing for Jesus.” True testimony is not just sweet-talk set to musie; it is, as St. John put it, walking as He walked, living as He MWFurthermore, an exclusively stop-; at-home witness is not what Jews intended. He distinctly said, “to the end of the earth.” How far away, in how many lands and languages, With how many, missionaries, to your church testifying for Jesus? A church tafiring only t® Itself about Christ has forgotten the Directive. • ' l V * ? ’ t Concrete Floors To clean and freshen s concrete cellar floor, outdoor pavement,or driveway, scrub the surface 'first with soap and water, or<4urn/pn the hose.
