Good People Are Proof Os Power Os Religion New Standards Os Life Sat Up By Jesus Characterize Those Who Walk His Way—Present World Problems And Their Relation To Everyday Goodness.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Biggest aud best news often does not get Into print. More important than any political actions, or than any events in international affairs, is the way the minds and purposes of plain people are tending. In the long run. thoughts are the news [that count. If a majority of men ! and women are lowering their private standards of conduct, that is a worse disaster than a world-wide depression. If. on the other hand, people generally are seeking to live nobler lives, then the outlook for the race is rosy. As we follow Dr. Luke's brilliant biography of Jesus, we are struck by the way in which the Teacher related all of His doctrines to life. One of His basic declarations was , “I am come that they might have lite, aud that they mignt nave it more abundantly." Jesus is the eternal sponsor for every program of human betterment. Civilization goes forward just in the degree that ii follows Him. The everyday vindication of His Gospel is that it produces good men and women, who walk in integrity and brotherliness. A Political Platform As one whose mission was to establish the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, Jesus gave constant concent to the qualities which characterize a citizen of the Kingdom. His platform, as it has been called, was the Sermon on the Mount, from which our Lesson is taken. Never before nor since was there a platform like this. It reversed ( the whole accepted order of the li.e of Christ's own time. In an era . when strength and power and privilege and wealth and self-aggrand-I izement were apotheosized, He set ' forth the eternal value of meekness and docility and self-sacrifice and brotherliness and self-re-straint. Small wonder that the i "practical" men of all ages have dismissed the Sermon on the Mount as "unworkable,” "idealistic,” and "contrary to human nature" Y-t the plain troth is that the Jesus Way has noi only won for its followers the encomiums of the centuries; but it is also looked upon yearningly, in our ditraught time, as the only "way out" for har- «*•••*•«* * The Sunday School Lesson For February 9 is Jesus And The Good Life.—Luke 6:39-49. *»**«»*»*<

' ranged humanity. In a bitter school we are being taught that "good i times" come only by good men; and that the good life set forth by ! Jesus must precede and undergird all hopes for world peace and real i prosperity and universal good will. ! The Great Quest i One wonder of our world is the i hunger of milllo” so rthe good - life. All sorts ot persons, uign and i low, of all ages and capabilities, : are definitely in pursuit of this , spiritual goal. I get letters from > all sections ot the continent, and ; trom other lands as well, which give me glimpses of the deep cont cent of men and women for this t supreme good. They want to live • at their best; they want to count . for the most; they want the spirii tual satisfactions which only Christ i offers. We are blind to the deeper I Jives “at are mo*4ng in human ■ life if we fail to reckon with this i mood of mankind. 1 Out of this truth flows that dis- - ' play of kindiiti'-ss, neighborliness! and human helpfulness that is the 1 glory of our world. Consider tne • .wo million Sunday school teach- ■ ers qf the I’nited States and Canada; the other millions of Christian Endeavorers; the millions of members in the women's societies 1 of the churches; the brotherhoods 1 ind Bible classes and sodalities and guilds; tue social workers, and ■ the plain, unorganized, unpreten , 1 tious men and women, in homes | 1 and offices and shops, who are all seeking to live the good life ac-; cording to the pattern of Jesus i I All of these together constitute the , i .nighliest force hi our world. The i citizens of the Kingdom outnumber every nation. Oriental Hyperbole Pictorial speech ever flowed ■ from the lips of Jesus. He was the ' world's greatest story-teller. And ■ He used the similes of the Orient ‘ in which He lived, as waen He con- ■ uemneo the habit of criticism by J bidding the hearer take the beam • out of his own eye before He con- < dernns the mote in a brother's eye —or. as Moffatt translates it. “Why do you note the splinter in your brother's eye, and fail to see the plank in your own eye?" This was I a touch of familiar oriental hyperbole which the listeners could appreciate. In other words Jesus condemned the attitude ot' censoriousness and . self-superiority and criticism, so common among the shallow “intellectuals” and reactionaries of T>ur time. Pointing out another's ’ faults is no proof of virtues in one's '

self. Christians are commanded to' live by the royal law of charity. "Look within!" was the Jesus idea. "Hearth thine own heart. What palneth thee. In another, in thyself may be.” Trees Os The Lord As figures tumbled over one another in the talk of the Teacher, He cited the case of the tree: “No sound tree bears rOitSn fruit, nor again does a rotten tree bear sound fruit: each tree is known by its fruits.” (Moffatt). One traveller tells of a gorgeous garden party in Japan. It was not the season for cherry blossoms — yet the trees bore tens of thousands of beautiful blooms. They were artificial flowers, each toilsomely tied on to the branches. Hut nohody was deceived. Real blossoms and fruit cannot be affixed to a tide; they must grow out of its very life. Ano the great virtues cannot be fastened onto unvirtuous lives; they must spring trom the life within. That is why good people—seekers after the goo* life —are the first essential of a great nation, a great world. They will produce after their kind. From them alone may the fruit be expected that will nourish civilization. When The Floods Come Nohody ever saw a great house, with stone foundation pillars, floating down stream ih a flood, ft is the flimsy shacks, which rested on the surface of lowlands, that fall before the torrents. In life's testings. it is the lives without solid ■ foundations that go to pieces. How ; grandly we all have seen saints. survive grief and disaster. Within the week I have read newspaper articles by Will Durant ' and Roger Babson, lamenting the ; lack of moral and religious groundwork and character in this genera-1 lon. Their cry was for characters founded on a rock. Tn other worde, they were parapnrasing uie be..,, ture ot tne present Leeson. Only from such may we expect the good life, which Jesus set as ; the standard of Kingnom citizenship. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS . count life jst a stuff to try the soul's strength on.—R.
