The first great in-gathering was on the Day of Pentecost. 50 days after the Passover, when Peter preached with such power and boldness that about three thousand were then converted and baptized. This company of. believers was soon increased." But someone has said that no one goes to heaven alone, and the first immediate manifestation of this new life in conversion was an intense clinging of Christians to one another in a fellowship so deep and strong that at first they held all things in common. The early Christian commu-' nism did not last long, just as most schemes of Christian com munism have failed since. If the Christians had all been as noble as Barnabas, it might have been successful, but 'a liar and self-seeker like Ananias can make havoc of a noble experi- j ment. I In any case, Christianity places a strong value upon the individ ual soul, and upon the rightful i independence of each life. ! Paul understood this well. When he urged that Christians should bear one another's bur dens, and so fulfill the law of Christ, he also said that every man should bear his own burden. That was good, sound democ racy. The strength of democracy, ; of a church, of a Christian fel lowship, is built upon the integ- , rity and strength of the individ- ual units. But the strength of the early Christian church was in the way the individual Christians loved one another. It became a byword, marking thern from the world in i which they lived: "See how these ' Christians love one another." One speaks thus of the early ! Christian church. Can one say as much for the Christian church i of today? ! When one looks at the great , number of sincere Christians to day, the answer to that question must be "yes." But one cannot help wishing there were more in that company of true Christians. Sunday, Dec. 20 9:30, Sunday school, Christ mas story. 10:30, Services. 1:30, Practice for program.
