Radical Remedy Os Religion For What Aik The World Dramatic Incident At Farewell Meeting Os Jesus And His Disciples Sets Forth Christian Philosophy Os Life—More Trouble For Simon Peter.

Bv WILLIAM T. ELLIS

Some of ns will have to got down off our high horses before the things that are most wrong with i the world can be made right. The potent prosperous group are violently propaganding that (nothing new shall interfere with their priveleges and prosperity. And labor's mood is scarcely different in kind. There is abroad a strong feeling that whatever is favorable in the status quo must be maintained. Too many of us are crying, like the 'evil spirits in the Bible story, “Let us alone.” Bang into the center of this arIrogant and selfish position strikes the heavy artillery of the current ! Sunday School lesson, which will j be considered, in its practical relai lionships, by some millions of adults and young people. Wlxat I saw German high explosive shells do to a block of dwellings in London, during the war, is what this dynamic Scripture is likely to do to heartless stand-pattism. For it is the core of the whole philosophy and example of Jesus. The Misunde r stood Man In a dramatic setting the story is staged. All the solemnity of circumstance reenforced the truth ; taught so pictorially. It was on the last night of the earthly life of ,Jesus. Only a few hours distant i were the Garden and the Cross. I The Muster was having His farei well gathering with His disciples. , By elaborate precautions, the little 1 group had sequestered themselves i in the upper room for their final I celebration of the Passover. With ' grett desire Jesus had lowed forward to this hour of intimacy. His i own mood was one of the mellow- ! est; for He loved this group ot

I rough men. j Most persons complain of being misunderstood. Was there ever ■ such bitter misunderstanding, on the part of dearest friends, as Jesius experienced on this tenderest occasion’ Indeed, it has been the lot of Christ to be misunderstood throughout the ages, and often by those who profess dearest devotion to Him. He had come to the upper room with heavy heart, hungry for sympathy and appreciation. Yet he found His friends squabbling over which of them was the greatest! imagine it: at that sa-red hour, these clumsy disciples were disputing about their own rights and priveleges and preeminence. The tragedy of it is enough to evoke tears Straight Truth For The Times Gently, but clearly, the Master pointed out that this spirit is heathenish. It is the Gentile way; “But ye shall not be so: but he that is greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief as he that doth service I am in the midst of you as he that serveth." In the dudgeon of their false dignity. all ot the group had refused to take on the servant’s task of bathing the dusty feet of the coihpany, as was the usage of the time. So Jesus Himself did it: the Master of all became the servant of all. In the full consciousness of His own nature and mission, aware that He came forth from God and was going back to God, the Christ laid aside His outer robe, girded Himself with a towel poured water j into a basin and began to wash 'the disciples’ feet. There was a I moment's interruption by consci-ence-smitten Peter, but Jesus fini ished the task. ! Then He explicitly laid down the inew law of the Christian life, the ■law toward which the whole world jis blunderingly struggling today, the law of self-abnegating service !to even the undeserving. It was ■in connection with this lowliest service that Jesus, for the only time, said, "1 have given you an example."

The Great Radical Here we have the radical teaching of the great Radical. For “radical" be it said in passing, is a good word gone wrong. Nowadays it is applied mostly to superficial thinkers and agitators, who do not go anywhere ne r the root of things; and radical means root. Jesus went into the root of things in human nature. He struck at un- »»»«♦«*»• • The International Sunday School Lesson for January 20 is: "Peter's Lesson In Humble Service.”—John 13:1-17; I Pet er 5:5. »»»♦»♦»«* * ********

derlying selfishness. This single Lesson clears away, the mistaken philosophies of life' the way to a transformed human based on self-interest. It shows society. All that the nations are no wfrantically seeking to do, by laws and by organization, can reallly be done only ns the servantprinciple of Jesus comes to control in human life. Crime, exploitations, greed. | poverty, fear—all would be ended if the radical and explicit teaching of Christ were given right Qf way. If each lived in a manhood of ser- | vice, there would be undreamed happiness tor all. Society would be wholly reconstructed if men could catch the full force of the words. “1 have given you un example,' spoken by the Supreme Teacher, who avowed that He came, "Not to be ministered unto, but to minister." One's imagination is staggered by this clear and consistent New Testament teaching of a society made up of helpers ot one another. The Forgotten Helpers In spite of Rotary Club mottoes, and much sentimental utterance, the world has not yet got to the point wherein it always remembers its helpers. Recently i had a letter from a friend, now an old man, whose name is honored around the world; for his writings liave done more to inspire people than those of any other living person. Today he is in personal trouble—though still bravely serving his world — and he feels that he is forgotten. Churches pension affluent officials; but nobody remembers the needs of this man who has done more than they all.. 1 sometimes wonder why wealthy men and women do not leave money to the great and vital servants of their day. instead of to homes for eats and dogs, and to institutions of which they know little or nothing. Why not buy a share in the work of the great servants of the world? There are many such, who. while pouring out their souls in ministry, are worrying about how to pay the grocer and the landlord.

Peter Blunders Again We cannot leave that portentous incident of the feet washing—symbol of all service—without recalling Peter's characteristic part. Doubtless the whole company were abashed by the rebuke implied in their leader’s action. Peter, when his turn came to be served explosively cried, “Thou shalt never wash my feet!” What an interfering. inept fellow Fisherman Peter was! He stands tor those who will not accept the mission of the lowly Servant-Savior. As once before, he undertook to tell the Master what He should do. To most of us, as to Peter, the idea of the humiliated, sacrificial Christ, is naturally repugnant. We shrink from the offence of the cross. A lordly Leader we would welcome; but it is not easy to walk the despised path of suffering and service. Peter had to be told that he must accept Jesus on the latter’s own terms. Then, piling blunder upon blunder, he offered his hands and hie head for washing—like the extremists who would go beyond the Scriptural order In aceticism and sacrifice. So again the ill-bal-anced disciple was gently rebuked by the Master. Unlike Peter, let us keep to the main issue of the Lesson: which presents the greatness and Christ likeness of service. That is the plain road that leads out of the world’s present wilderness. When enough of us follow it. then we shall have a real Christian civilization.

QOOR CHILD /and the school By Dr ALL£N G. IRELAND Orretlar, Pity>Ka> and Health Nht Jeetey Sidle Depart Beal aj Ptbitc jaiirarttaa The Reducing Craze Certain it is that style can dominate common sense. For when fashion decreed “girls shall be thin at all costs” judgment was thrown to the winds. It isn’t a case of ignorance. I’ve talked with too iRa many girls, mothers, / and teachers to beSf lieve that lack of gs* knowledge is entirely to blame. The girls know, but for the sake of what they think of as attractiveness and appeal, they are willing to take long chances. And too frequently they lose. There is no greater folly than that of tinkering with Nature. We always suffer in the end. In this instance the girls are showing how tragic the loss may be by having more tuberculosis than any other age group. They show it in poor posture. They show it in poor school work and in easy fatigue during sports where they should excel. They tire early at dances, relying too often upon stimulants, whether coffee or spirits, to whip up an exhausted nervous system, only to make matters worse, for these supposed stimulants are really depressants. Perhaps more knowledge is necessary, but, instead, I believe it is a new “attitude” that is needed, a new point of view concerning what really is fashionable. How to bring it about, I don’t know. But I am convinced that we must learn how. Surely a great responsibility is facing every good parent •nd every sincere teacher. Fighting winter eolds, and the value of milk, fruits and other protective foods in building up resistance, will be discussed by Dr. Ireland in next week's article.
