Will there ever be another? The angeis have reared in heaven a shrine Te the hoiy name of Mother. A Fellowshlp, 41-45 In the f irst century the Christian bSl.urch started as a feilowshiP. Long before tbere were highy organized congregations or stately cathedrals, -groups of earaest people were meet- ing together to t.alk about Christ, receiving instruction fromi the apos- tdes, eating together either for f riendship or as a memorial sacra- ment, and praying together. The word ecclesia in Greek means "thOse called out." Christians are cailed oui f rom the world and cailed te- gether for fellowship. ýSo great was the unity in the early church in Jerusaleai that they pooled their possessions. They were more con- cerned that ail should be provided fthan that any one should have rv at wealth. The test was need, not cupidity. One reason why this church grew rapidly was because Of the reality of its felewmshlp. Whera coTlgregatioxns become formai and cold, they lose the attractiig. draw- ing power. How may the modemn church have such feiiowship? OnIY by havlng such an eager devotion to Christ that there will be genuinel love for fellow Christians. There are groups of Christian workers wlio are havlng this same quallty of Chrisian fellowship In the twenti- eth century that the apostelic -shurch enJoyed In the flrst centurY.

Questions for Disussion 1. Is feilowship more realinl small than la large congregations? 2. What do we mean when we say that a person Is a Christian? 3. "On. f alth"-what la IL? 4. How far shouid we strive for uni! ormity? I I the unattainable? Are our best ef- forts doomed to resuit la failure? Are Our earnest labors to, go unre- warded? Emphatically ne! Hear the loving aPpeal of the prophet of old "Ho, every one that tbirsieth. coeieYe to, the waters, and he that bath ne money; corne Ye,. buy. and eat; yea, coaie, buy wine and mik without money and i wthout price." The greatest teacher cf ail tinie, Jesus the Christ, thus counseiled bis foilowers: "Ask, and i shail be givea ycu: seek. and ye shail flnd; knock, and it shali be opened unto you." Here w. have an invitation and a promnise that are without restrict- ion. they know no bound of clime or race; they are f ree from partiality or permanent. How la one t10 avail hixaself of ibis good? How is one to attalul these unrest.ricted blesslngs? How la one te brlng them i mto is indlvld- ual experienoe? Christian Science answers ail these questions to anY- one's perfect satisfaction. To avail ourselves of the power 0f Qod or good we must understand God's nature and character. This is the mission of Christian Science. te teach us the exact and unerrlng truth about God, infinite good, andi thus enable us to be good, do good, experleace good. There must be a Science of good, and as we perceive it we can prove it andi avail ourSel- ves of IL.
