The Perfect Clmrch.
At the moridag service Rev. Dunn
took as Iris subject - 'The ■* Perfect

Had Elders and Deacons.
The «liurch at Jerusalem 'hud elders
and deacons and churches who seek

tljrir church organization elders and
iteutons, The IlMiie explains specific-
ally the kind of men these elders and
deacons Were to l*« and the work they
were expected to perform.
- Cared for the Needy.
The chunh nt Jerosa!«ni < red for
the needy in their midst, appointing
seven men whose duties were to s >e.
after this matter. This raises ques-
tion of obtaining money. These church
members sold their |>ossessioDs and
gave to the deacons to relieve.the dis-
tress of tiie needy. "Any church that
n«'gleets the dependents in their midst
is in | oor shape to live and poor
"hhape to die A church like that
needs the spirit of Christ Instilled
Into if," said Rev. lMmu.
Assefjhletl Together Regularly. .
The church we read of at Jerusa-
lem assembled r« gularly upon the
first day of (he week, for the breaking
<4 bread, for fellowship and for' pray-
ers. llic 'Good ' Book tells us they
ail assembled on the first <J«y of tlif
week and continued steadfastly In
their wmship.
Had Right Kind of Material.
This church was made up of the
<ream of the earth, Jews from the
four corners of the known world. "Ev-
ery chnrth iuust bo made up of good
materia I,'*, sjiid the evangelist. Paul
aim Yib.TTfcjr were good material and
.Indus Israriot was poor material with
which to build a church.
All Were too*. JL-L- — .
This church had only two hypo-
crites in It. as far as the written word
reveals the facts. These wefe Ananias
and Sappbira arid they didn't last

real Christian* or they should not Is-

Traffic Blocked.
While the rainfall over/ frenison
measured over an Inch, the heaviest
rain fell between Pottsboro and
llig Mineral Creek, near
rflowed over the lowlands,
washing the Missouri, Kansas & Tex-
as Railroad dump and doing several
thousand dollars lu damage to tlm
railroad. Traffic was blocked over
this line Sunday and repairs could not
tie started until the water subsided.
More rain fell Monday.
Passengers trains were devoured
via Sherman .and the Texas & Pa-
cific to W hitefcboro.
Reports received in Deuison said
that thousand's of dollars In damage
was done near Sadler and Hagerman.
where'the downpour of rain continued
throughout Saturday night. Consider-
able live r.tt>ck was lost in the low-

The Kfvty Railroad reported a heavy
rainfall west of Gainesville, where the
railroad alao suffered considerable
dnmage that delayed passenger traffic
several hours. v
Bans the Merry-Go-Round.
Verily the most captious of music
critics must confess that when the
overture of "Poet and Peasant" is hoot
ed out by the Steam calliope of a
merry-go-round It carries to the juve-
nile ear a more vital lnspirdtloh than
could a Philharmonic feast in Car-
negie ball or a whole opera at the Met-
ro(K>)ttau. Imagine, then, the grief, of
Tarsos Polycrone at the refusal
Mayor Scott of New Roehelle to 11-
cense him to operate a $30,000 merry
go-round on a lot that he and his two
brothers have bought at the entrance

All Were Preacher*.
Tl e Bible tells 'us the members of
this church scattered abroad, preach-
ing and teaching. Their preaching vas
not confined to oue or two men; all
were preachers. "Every church
should be a preacher factory," ex-
claimed the evangelist.
Had Troubles Same as We.
Tills church bad troubles same as
we and Vet they continue steadfastly
in the apostles doctrine. The Jews
were sorclj tried numbers of times
and yet God never excused them. -1
All Were Personal Workers.
The members of the Jerusalem
were thoroughly alive; all were per-
sonal workers, Juat as every member
of the church of Christ today should
be 0 personal worker, ever ready^ will-
ing and aiisl(ius to do everything In
their power to aid the cause of Jesus
Christ.
Sent the Gospel to Other Places.
This church seht its members out
to other places to preach and teach,
to spread the gospel to the known
world. "Aitf chnrch that builds a
magnificent house and fold^ Its
hands, contented, is not measuring up
to the full standard*which our Lord.]
Jesus expected of his church. Wr
must use all our talents. "I have two
