organized church is s help to faith,
not a hindrance.
TbeVighty-odd church commun-
ions iwilling in the study of these
•international lessons** are not or-
ganized in the same way. But the
fact that oar organizations differ
does not keep us from uniting in
the study of the same Word of
God. It would be interesting to
Study the many ways in which
churches are organized, but right
here we are sticking to one thing;
die organization of the Christian
church in its earliest days.
Meeds Cent First
Three things can be said of or-
ganization in the early church.
First is that it grew out of needs,
and not the other way around. In
America we are so used to every-
thing being organized down to the
last sub-section, that we are in-
clined to think a church isn’t a
church unless it has some definite
organization. But in the book of
Acts we hear about the church
some time before we hear of the
officers. The first deacons, that
committee of seven men who were
elected by the people and ap-
pointed by the apostles to deni
with the tricky problem of caring
for flie needy fa the church,—those
deacons were elected because they
wer^ needed. The churched not
elecTthem because some organiza-
tion-chart called for such officers.
The church elected them for a
particular job; it did sol elect
them first and then hunt for some-
thing (or them to da
UiarMts^Cam First
The word "deacon" means "one
who serves,” a serviceable man.
The elders and the bishops or over-
seers, of whom we read later,
were also serviceable men. Paid
never left a church without offi-
cers. He was a practical saint.
But Paul, when writing about
church officers, as he did to Tim-
othy and Titus, lays down some
remarkable provisions. In describ-
ing various officers, Paul oddly
enough (we might think) says not
a word about what these officers
were to do. It’s all about what they
were to be, as men, as Christians.
Paul knew that no organization is
better than the people who operate
it Getting the right people Is the
important matter. Personal quali-
fications come ahead of technical
qualifications. This does not mean
that the framework of organization
Is of ao importance. Other things
being equal, it is better to have
some framework or system which
discourages one-man rale, or file
development of cliques. But the
officers’ character is the central
matter. Paid did not want Timothy
to ask, about a prospective officer,
whet kind of executive did he
make? but rather: How well has
be managed his marriage, his
home? It is a more vital question.
Tbs Shire* Cast First
No apostle known to us ever set
up « skeleton organization, a cadre
as they say in the army, and left
it to collect a church around it.
Paul’s great figure of speech is the
body and the members. A body
does not come into existence by
agreement of some loose arms,
legs and insides to get together.
The body develops these various
parts as it grows. The body is
more important than any of its
members. So with the church, as
it was going in the New Testament
era. Tbe church produced die offi-
cers, not the officers the church.
The church does not exist, for ex-
ample, to give preachers jobs.
Preachers exist to serve and build
the church. Further, if the church'
is always first > and every one
realizes this, then no man or wo-
man can think ’T am indispens-
able. If I die or move away I can-
not be replaced.” Every one in
the church has something to (to,
something he or she can do per-
haps better than any one else,
whether an officer or not Every-
one should try to make himself
indispensable, yes; but he must
remember that file one and only
indispensable person in any church
is—Christ
