Whenever the church has truly
been the “church,” it has reach
ed out ■& talke the gospel to
those outside its fellowship.
This concern has been not mere
ly mSMO desire to enlarge the
mem harsh ip of the church. Di
vine ihSpiration has always char
acteriieu the mission and evan
gelistic concern of Christians.
As a church, we have a won
derful opportunity to escape be
ing conventional and to become,
instead, Christian. We must
find the recipe for becoming pio
neering Tather than placid.
Many of our own communities
show large patches of new hous
ing developments, sheltering
many hundreds of unchurched
people... These persons need to
be found, visited, invited, wel
comed, and won for Christ by
the nearest local church. Almost
every church in our. land in
cludes many people with poten
tialities for leadership. We need
to encourage these people—al
most any church can pioneer by
helping at least some of its mem
pers deepen their Christian ex
perience in concrete ways. Per
haps, going on from there, our
particular church can start a
churdh school in these new
neighborhoods, or 'perhaps we
can expand by cell division; that
is, some of our members could
forin the nucleus of a new
church. The mother church
could then give leadership and
money.
But each church is, after all,
its congregation. Just as a chain
is only as strong as its weakest
link, so is the church' only as
strong as its weakest member.
How can we help ourselves and
others become more earnest,
wide-awake readers of the Bible?
Or what can we do to inspire
persons toward greater spiritual
growth as they strive to solve
personal problems? There are
many other lines we must cross
to reach persons with the life
giving gospel of Jesus Christ.
We must more effectively cross
I#ie thresholds of hospitals, men
tal institutions, and prisons. We
must reach across lines of re
spectable unconcern to help re
habilitate alcoholics and dis
charsed prisoners and to carry
a weonciling ministry to labor
and management. There are
sharp misunderstandings between
churches of different denomina
tions. Local churches must
reach across these lines in a
spirit of love.
Led by the Holy Spirit, our
churches must have the vision
and the concern to cross every
line of custom, tradition, or pa
rochial complacency which marks
off art area where men’s spirit
ual needs remain untended. We
must—in a word—“ Pioneer for
Christ.”

I have had many troubles in
my life, but the worst of them
never came.

KNOW TOOR song SPOT
IP. E. Bettendorf, representative of the Social Security Ad
ministration. is in Eden Con every Thursday at tba North Guo.
. llee Employment Security Commiaaion in Citizens Bank
Building.
To get disability protection, a
self-employed farmer must meet
the same work test that applies
to all employees and self-em
ployed persons. This test re
quires that the farmer have so
cial security work credits for 20
of the 40- calendar quarters be-1
fore he became disabled.
For most farmers this means
. that they must have had net
self-employment earnings of
S4OO or more annually on their
social security record for each
year, 1955 through 1959. Hence,
any farmer who did not file a
social security tax return for
one or more years during this
period could not now meet the
work test.
In some cases, however, a
farmer may have worked at oth
er covered jobs before self-em
ployed farmers came under so
cial security in 1955. This work
can be counted and might be
eonugh to give the farmer in
sured standing.
For example, a farmer who
has credit for self-employment
income from his farm for only
the years 1956, 1957 and 1958
has 12 coverage quarters. But,
if he had eight or more addi
tional quarters in 1953 and 1954
when he worked as an em
ployee in a factory, or was en
gaged in non-farm self-employ
ment, he would meet the in
sured test now.
The five years (20 quarters)
of work need not be continuous.
The test is met if the farmer
has a total of 20 quarters of
credit at any time during the
ten-year period before his dis
ability began.
Besides meeting the work test,
the farmer also must be so se
verely disabled that he is unable
ito do any gainful. work. In the
next article we shall explain
the disability requirements and
tell what a farmer must do to
establish his claim for disability
protection under social securi
ty. This protection means
