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.

'7' ? xw I ? > 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.

To add insult to injury and indifference, the prompt and puny vJSbnds for the murderers, the ridiculous 2_year sentences for the gangsters, the delays of the courts, the "not gutlty" verdicts, the escapes from the electric chair'of the whites, all go to make the lives ^>f human beings cheaper than tfiat of che av_ erage dog. \Vith such a-barborous showing on all hands, and all around, Calhoun is justified in, pulling her holy robes about her end thanking bod that we are not as other coun? ties.

SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY TOLL BRIDGE OVER WA1 FOUGHT ?? ? ^W'?m 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.
