HUMAN NEEDS
LESSON TEXT--Acts 4:32-35; 6.'1-7.
GOLDEN TEXT--And the multitude of
them that believed were of one heart
and of one soul.--Acts 4:32.
Machinery without power is use-
less--that is why in the lesson of
last Sunday the power of the Holy
Spirit was recognized as being in-
dispensable in the church. One
sometimes wonders whether we do
not now have more machinery than
power, and thus fail in our high
calling.
Power, on the other hand, reaches
its greatest usefulness through the
organization of well-planned, ma-
chinery. The church soon ]~qund
that its activities, simple at the be-
ginning, had become more com-
plex. calling for suitable organiza-
tion, if it was to best serve the
needs of its own people and of those
round about it. In so organizing
they did not forget this fundamental
purpose of the church, nor did they
forsake the true source of power.
1. Sharing With the Brethren (4:
32-35).
Love for one ,another prompted
the Christian brethren to meet each
other's need by sharing, by holding
all they owned for the comn~on
good. This was not (as some would
have us believe) a type of commu-
nism. It was purely voluntary (see
Acts 5:4), temporary, and local. It
was practiced only in Jerusalem
and only for a short time. It was
an expression of Christian brother-
hood and liberality which is worthy
of our consideration.
The duty and privilege of sharing
material as well as spiritual bless-
ings is a part of Christian fellow-
ship. Those in the church who have
should willingly share with those
who have not. Some churches have
so effectively carried out this plan
today that none of their members is
on relief. Not every church can do
that. but much more could be done
if we had the considerate spirit of
the early Christian church, which
was indeed the spirit of Christ,
II. Caring for the Unfortunate
(6:1, 3, 5, 6).
The church had come through its
first real persecution (Acts 5:12-42)
with real victory and assurance (5:
42), only to face an internal difficul-
ty. Wherever the Lord blesses, the
enemy comes to destroy. Whenever
a door of service opens, there are
many adversaries ( I Cot. 16:9).
There were two groups in the
church---the Hebrew Christians. and
those with a Greek ba ckground.
Among the poor to whom daily dis-
tribution of help must be made were
many widows. Suddenly the Gre-
cian group began to note (or think
they noted, which was just as dis-
turbing) that their widows were be-
ing neglected.
Notice that men of good character
and spirituality were chosen to
serve, and that all of them bore
Greek names. The Greeks, who
were doubtless in the minority in the
Jerusalem church, had a complaint,
so those who were appointed to
serve were their own people. We
might have been tempted to appoint
a committee made up of half from
each side (and thus to continue the~
dissension), but not so here "where
grace and wisdom from above con-
trolled.
Do not fail to observe that there
was here a well-ordered plan to care
for the weak and unfortunate. No
Christian church should fail in that
~ important ministry.
II!. Preaching the Word (vv. 2,
4, 7).
Social service is necessary--the
church should make intelligent pro-
vision for its poor and its widows--
but it makes a fatal mistake when
such service becomes more impor-
tant than the preaching and teach-
ing of God's Word. Let those ap-
pointed to that blessed ministry
find joy in sanctified social service,
but never let it pre-empt the place
of evangelism.
Certainly such service must not
become the all-absorbing task of the
one who has been set by God as the
messenger to the church--the spir-
RuM shepherd of the flock. Many a
preacher has lost himself in such
work. and failed to study and pray
so that he might he prepared to
preach the Word in power and with
conviction. Too many preachers
are attempting to shake a sermon
out of their coat sleeves on Satur-
day night (as Joseph Parker pu~. it)
only to find that their ministry grows
leaner and leaner until reaching
the years when there should be a
matured rictmess and sweetness in
their ministry of the Word. they
find their message dead, dull and
dry.
Such~ folly ill befits the Christian
church of its ministers. Perhaps
*-~ some minister who reads these lines
:~ should change his ways, and per-
- chance many a church officer who
reads them should realiza that he
has been driving his preacher into
work which, while important, should
he (for him. at least) secondary.
First things first, in God's own or-
der--that is the road of power and
blessing.

From thesc letters we learned much about the safety
features that appeal to you most, such as absence of flame,
fumes, smoke and odors; the complete control of electric heat
which eliminates worries about over heating or draughts
causing flare-ups or blow-outs; the absence of inflammable
fuels, reducing the danger of fires and explosions; the fact that
no flues, pipes, or tanks are necessary and that fuel worries and
hazards can be forgotten; the complete insulation that ends
any worries about burns from hot stoves; the fact that no
.harm can come to children--and these are only a part of the
story that proves beyond doubt that THE ELECTRIC WAY
IS THE SAFEST WAY TO COOK.
