And they con tinued steadfastly In the npostlos' teaching r-.nd fellowship in the break ing of bread and the prayers. The world of tcmo. row should be better than the world of todr.y. The present will profit by the p:st and in sure a brighter future. We can study the success and failures of hu nianity and profit by them. In this terrible wr.r America has net made the mistakes of her allie3 because their experiences have proven her gain. The church can loam mucn from the anc.ent writings concerning her early history and work. It is Baid concerning & membership of the Jerusalem church "That thoy contlnuod stoadfantly in the apostles' teachings and fellowship, tn the breaking of bread and prayers." This church did not attempt to Judalze its membership. There was an element after this time'that taught obedience to the law of Moses but the apostles strictly amphasltcd that such was not the purpose of the Gos pel. Judalstic tendencies In the church today should be discouraged. We are not under the law but under grace says the Apostle Paul. It was the Apostles' teaching that was em phasized. We .have these teachings recorded In the last will and testa ment of Jesus Christ. Three thoughts are emphasized in this teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayers. Fellowship "sig nified partnership. They were part ners in a common cause living the Gospel and preaching the Gospel. The church of today needs more of this fellowship. Their i relationship was harmonious. They were members of the one family of God. This fellow ship was so simple and so humble that not even the apostles were ad dressed as "reverend" but only "Peter" pnd "John." "In the break ing of bread", they remembered the sufferings of our Lord His Deity is Hi III IHTM1 1 1 k J- sSEL SMITH DAM RON.

In his selection of emblems for the com munion our Lord named those1 which are found wherevc- civilized man ex ists. These are the bread and the fruit of the vine. "As oft aa ye eat this bread and dr'nk this cup ye do proclaim the Lord's death until he come." I These followers of our Lord had the prayer habit. They knew that prayer was a privilege and that It was essential to growth In grace. The marvelous growth of the early church was due among other helps, to prayer. Prayer is the souVs heart felt petition to God. With all of the trials and persecutions, th s primi tive church needed the strength which comes from prayer. It kept them close to God. No one ever backslid while upon his knees. In all of the above, the Jerusalem Christian continued steadfastly. How often we give up because results do not come Immediately. Continued service will win the world to Christ. In the local congregation, it is the man or woman who continues stead fastly that God can count on. These are the people who go the farthest In the service of the Lord. May the church of today be just as loyal tolChrisl and as energetic In his service.
