I Soclul service as such was not a
department of church activity. How
ever, the early church was most ready
to discharge its social obligations.
Members of the body of Christ are
sympathetically related.
I. Characteristics of Mia ? Early
Church (Acts 4:81-&'i).
1. It was a praying churrh (v. 81).
These early Christians for every need
betook themselves to God "In prayer.
2. It was a Splrlt-fllled church (v.
81). When they prayed, the place
wherein they were gathered together
was shaken and they were all tilled
with the Holy Spirit.
8. It was a church with a bold tes
timony (v. 81). Th,g ministers of the
early church did not offer nny npology
for the Bible, but expended their en
ergy in fearlessly preaching It.
4. It wns a united church (v. 82).
They w? re ail of one heart and soul.
5. It was a generous church (v.- 82)!
They held nothing back from those
who had need.
6. Its^ ministers had a powerful tes
timony (v. 33).
7. Its members had an unblemished
character (v. 88).
II. Appointment of Deacons (Acts
6:1-4).
1. The occasion (v. 1). The church
was threatened with disruption over
suspected partiality In the distribu
tion of alms. The Grecians felt dis
criminated against In that their wid
ows were neglected In the "dully min
istrations."
2. The Issue met (vv. 2-fl). a con
gregational meeting was trailed, the
case placed before the church, and the
church Ji)Ftruc.ted Jo select seven men
of ? good report, flllo.l w|>h the lloiy
Spirit nnrf wisdom to administer the
tempnruljtles.ot church, leaving
the apostles freedom for pr-iver and 1
the mlnlstrv of <;o,|-* w< rd,
8. 1 he ministry of the deacons (v.
7). They looked after the poor, but
whl'e distributing alms, ^thev were
witnessing . for Christ. Social service
Is n by-product of Christianity and
not Christianity Itself.
?:8<W?The Ra,*lnB ?f D6iCM (A^''
1. Her ministry (v. 80 Cf. v. ?,!>).
Her life was full of good works. suc!r|
ns making coats and garments for the
poor. Her noble ministry hns set In
motion countless numbers of needles,
and has given Incentive to many noble
women to follow her example. The
good deeds were not merely tho- e
which she Intended to do, but "which
she did." - v
2. Her death (v. 87). In the mid t
of a Jlfe full of Kond works she^wns
overtaken by death. v
8. Peter sent for (v. 88). In their
distress the disciples sent two hv>n
urgently to request Peter to come to
them. Hating heard of the healing
of Aeneas at I.ydda, which was nearj
they no doubt helleved that he could
restore Dorcas to life.
4. Dorcas raised (vvr 80-41). In an
swer to Peter'* prayer Dorcas wns
"presented alive to the saints and
widows."
B. The effect (v. 42). So astonndlntr
was this miracle thut "many believed
In the Lord."
IV. Ministering to the 3aints (tl
Cor. 0:1 7).

One of the . marked signs of the
coming of our Lord is that of Apos
tacy. Paul in his epistle to the
Thes&alonians say8 that the second
coming of our Lord flrill not ta w
place ercept there be a falling away?
(II These. 2:8) first from the faith.
Christ said in the 24th chapter of
Matthew and 12th verse, $hat iniequi
ty shall abound, the love pf many
shall wax cold. Thus .Paul and
Christ concur as to this sign of His
coming. Apostacy is to make one of i
the 8*Kn8 o? our L0"1'8 return. What
is Apostacy? Dr. Schoffield ?says:
MIt is a professed Christian who de- i
liberately, rejects revealed truth (the
Word of God> as to the deity of
Christ, and redemption through His
atoning and redeeming v sacrifice."
There is a marked difference to er_
ror, heresy, and apostacy. Error
ig the result of ignorance. Many
Christians don't know the Word bf
God though have it in their homes,
but they go oft into error because of
their ignorance of the teachings of
the scriptures. I give an example.
Down in the eastern part of the
state a number of year ago there was
a religious sect that claimed holiness
and lived without sin. They came
down the coast in a large boat, then
went out and put up their brush ar_
bors and had camp meetings. After
this particular meeting was under
way, one of the leaders of this sect
went to the home of a farmer 'iving
in the community where the camp
meeting was and told the farmer s
wife that she was to be his spiritual
wife. She said she would tell her
husband about it when he came home,
so that afternoon when he came in,|
from his work on Tihe farm she told
him what this camp meeting leader
had said. So the farmer agreed to
see the camp meeting leader the next
morning as he had promised to re
turn to get the farmer's wife as his
spiritual wife. So next morning the
leader drove up in a buggy (before
the days of automobiles) and came J
to the house. Then he told the farm,
er's wife that he had come after her.
So she told him that she could not
leave as they jvere very busy on the |
farm and that she had three children,
and one of them was small. But the
camp meeting leader insisted that Bhe
was to be his spiritual wife and he
had come for her. Just at this junc,* I
ture the farmer stepped In.' Then the
camp meeting leader told him that
he had come for his wife as she was
to be his spiritual wife. So the farm ,
er asked him how he knew that she
was to be his spiritual wife, and the
caipP meeting leader said the Lord ,
had talked to him. The farmer ask
ed -Jiim when the Lord told him that
his wife was to be taken from him
b I made his -spiritual wife, and the
leader of the new sect said the Lord ^
tc\ldi him pn yeaterduy. Then the (
farmer said he talked to the Lord
that day. Then the leader asked him
what the Lord said, and the farmer
said the Lord told him to beat the
devil out of him and with that he
reached behind a door and got a club
and fell "on the camp meeting leader
and came near doing what he paid
he had been told to do. So evidently
the camp meeting leader was in er
ror. Heresy is the snare of the de.
vil, whereby Christian people are de
ceived. They think that they are
right, and preach that they are right
and really believe that they are right.
So it becomes necessary sometimes
for the church to take ministers in
hand and unfrock them from the pos
itions and put them out of pulpits for
they are preaching the doctrines of
devils rather than the doctrines of
God.' In the last few years, we had
many cases of this kind both in the
Protestant and Catholic ohurches.
The man whq preaches heresyi does
more damage to the church than the
wickedness of the outsiders and the
sin of those inside.
Apostacy departs from the faith,
hut at the same time still keeps the
outward form and profession of
Christianity. In the next article I
will name s<>me ?* the apostate teach
ingn that we now have in this cpuntrj
I^et i? be understood that all apostate
cults, nects (not churchew) are made
up of people from evanfeelteal Chris
tianity. This is true to the teaching
of- Paul who said that false teaohers
would creep in a^mong the churches
Mid do their work of destruction -nd
he warns the churches abotrt them.
If there was ever a time in the
history of the world when Christians
ought to read their Bibles that time
is now. Christian Science, Russellsm

TOLL BRIDGE OVER WA1

More Than Twice Paid for
Columbia Commerce Chambet*'
Declares. A 4 '
Columbia, July 9. ? (AP) ? A fight
against tolls on the bridge over the v
Wateree river at Camcieit^was opened ?
today when the executive committee^
of the Columbia Cham^erv oL Cora ^
merce jent a letter to Ben. M, Saw
yer, ?hief highway commissioner, ?sk a
ing t2;at steps be taken v? tree I he
bridge of lolls.
Sawyer was asked to attempt to
reach an agreement with Kershaw \
%V
county to free the bridge or to re-'^
quest the attorney general to bring
a "friendly suit" against ihe county
to test the validity of an net of 1925
under which the bridge is thought to
be operating. 1
| The comrneice body contends that
under that act the bridge could have
been freed of tolls three years ago
had the highway commission paid th,*
balance due and laken over th<*
bridge.
Should the highway official -not
have authority to proceed, he is askdfa
to call a special meeting of ihe 'high
way commission to "bring about \he
change as outlined under the law."
The toll bridge is on the state high
way No. f 12. Chamber of commerce
officials claim that Columbia and vi
cinity "have been hurt" because some
tourists avoid the bridge and high
way because of '.he tolls. They said
the bridge is estimated io have lost
between unA $200,000 an i
that approximately $500 000 h. .< boon
paid in tolls between tie years 10-2
and 1030.
