Present Prophets Portray The Plight Os Patriotism

Many Voices, From Pulpit And Press, Echo The Admonitions Os Hebrew Seers — Ancient Jeremiah Speaks To Our Own Times.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS | Economic theories have had the right of way for a few years past, in the press aud on the platform Frankly, the outstanding result has been only general bewilderment. The economists themselves have been bitterly divided in their views, aud the plain man does not understand what it is all about. Above this clamor tn the laud has been steadily arising another and a clearer note. Comprehensively called "social justice" it finds its best expression in the pulpit, where present prophets are portraying the plight ot patriotism as akin to the condition of the Jews of old. The message that is getting the widest popular hearing aud acceptance today is at root religious. For it declares, as uid the ancient Hebrew seer, that "righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” What from the merely human angle is ottered as social justice for every body, the preacher presents as tile clearly revealed will of the living God. A Plumb-Line For Practice There is no other news in today's paper to equal this news: that God will restore His favor to the nation when men repent of their selfishness and turn in obedience to His laws of reverent righteousness. Puzzled by prevailing problems, we may find a clear trail out of the jungle by asking, concerning any one of the vexatious contemporary issues, "Is this thing , right?" I is it right that immortal human • spirits should give their days and nigh't’s to frivolity and flesh pand-eni-g pleasures? Is it right that the ancient sane titles, bearing the stamp of the race's long experience, such as integrity, chastity, patriotism, kindliness and fair dealings, should be flouted and disdained? is it right that law should be per verted by sinister influences? Is it right that millions should suiter want in a land of plenty: ; while a favored few level in such wealth and luxury ami power as would bring envy to the heart of : an oriental potentate? Is it right that the welfare of the I many should be at the caprice of little groups of greedy men? So the questions pile up. in ev I ery honest mind. This plumb-line "Is it right?" is the one fearlessly held alongside of the conduct of «#»«###**! »»»»»***»: The International Sunday School Lesson for October 20 is "The Message of Jeremiah." —Jere. 7:1-26. *♦»**»***! »»»««♦♦» S I

the Jews of old by their heavenI sent prophets. And it is the stand ard by which our modern prophets are testing contemporary society. Just Plain Right Right is not merely a matter of opinion. There is a sentiment within the breast of even the most primitive man (nothing in all my travels has more deeply impressed me. than this universally present truth i which tells him that right is right and wrong is wrong. The world-wide revolt against imperialism is but an expression of this sentiment. God wrote His laws upon the human heart before ever lie graved them on stone at Sinai. Essential justice is as clearly discerned at an African palaver or in a Syrian coffee shop as it is in a European class room or an American forum. We are taking hold of one of the big truths of life when we grasp the Reality of the sense of right throughout the world. Still further: right is made clear and explicit by the inspired Scriptures. Old Jeremiah, as whose feet we sit today, thundered forth the "Thus saith the Lord"; and his forthgiving was not mysticism or rapture or spiritual ecstasy, but the plain and eternal obligation of man to do right by man, in recognition that this is God's law. Lying, lasciviousness, extortion, oppression, hard heartedness, perversion of justice and the exploitation of the poor are not merely contravention of the ripened judgment of < ivilization; they are a straight-out defiance of the law of the Eternal. That was the message of Jeremiah. There was nothing enrapt or ' ecstatic about his prophesies. "Amend your ways and your doings" sums uii his deliverances. Hear him in detail, and consider the application to our own times: “If ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; it' ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor; if ye oppress not the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood ;in this place, neither walk after other gods to your own hurt: then will I cause you to dwell in this 1 place, in the land that f gave to your fathers, from of old even for i evermore." Religion As A Cloak Those old Jews cloaked their misdeeds beneath religious formal- , ism. They were of a piece with the I modern churchman, whose Sunday piety and professed orthodoxy do not keep him from underpaying and overworking his employes, or from profiting by the hideous all iance of business with* corrupt polI itics, or from putting "interest" aJ hove principle. As our Lesson ex- ! presses it: "Will ye steal, murder and commit adultery, and swear falsely

■ . . .aud come and stand in this hVsilße, which is called by My name, and say, we are delivered, that ye may do all these aboinin1 ations? is this house, which is culled by My name, become a den of robbers in your eyes?" Then followed the devastating condemnation, "Behold I, even I, have seen it, saith Jehovah." In other words, we cannot fool God. He distinguishes between professions of piety and ethical conduct. As Janies bitingly says. "Will THAT faith save him?" Religion which does not eventuate in right living and right dealing is only a stupid attempt to deceive Ood; and it will be appropriately dealt with by Him. This is an uncomfortable Lesson for even the unconscious hyproeites. who follow the day’s fashions and forget God's law of righteousness still runs. Ils faithful proclamation by Jeremiah made him unpopular to the point of persecution; and the modern prophet who puts righteousness ahead of religious ritualism and of political reg ularity is not likety to have an easy time of it. Scraps From A Rich Table Some of Jeremiah's phrases and figures are in familiar use today, as his symbol of the potter; his condemnation of false prophets , who cry "Peace, peace, when there is no peace”: his timely "Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way?"; his contribution to our own pesent problem: Ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls"; "Is there no balm in Gilead?" Anybody who has failed to trace a connection between our shallow, sophisticated modern thinking and the present plight of the world, would do well to consider this solemn quotation from Jeremiah: "Hear. O earth: behold, I will bring I evil upon this people, even the | fruit of their thoughts, because i they have not hearkened unto my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it." Gr this, even more applicable to lour own land and time: “Thus saith Jehovah, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches; but let him that glorieth glory in tiift. "that he hath understanding, and knoweth Me. that I am Jehovah who exerciseth loving kindness, justice, and rigliiieousness in the earth: for in these i things I delight, saith Jehova'ii.” Thus, to a 'day and a land he knew not, this prophet of the nail ions. his words concerning earlier i kingdoms fulfilled, speaks the eterI nal truth of the clear will ot the ever-living God.
