Pigs Are Property, But Man Is An Immortal Spirit An Old Story In Which V ested Interests Protested The Emancipation Os A Man — Our Gravest Present Social Problem Mirrored In Scripture.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS “(langway for u better lite tor human beings!” That is the mood ot the world today. It is expressed iu a multitude of ways—by scientific research, by legislation In all the world's lawmaking bodies, by countless benevolent orgauisatioiis, by tidal religious and social and political movements; indeed, by a concatenation of the major forces moving in our time. And all ot these agencies are following in the train of One who is. iif a larger sense than we have sometimes thought, the world’s Saviour. A pictorial story embodies the truth, which is the current Sunday School Lesson. The story is one of pigs—and a man; and of the ancient clash that has always existed between human rights and property rights. The Compassionate Appears That C.adarene demoniac was a familiar sight to the people of his neighborhood, on the eastern shore of the Lake ot Galilee. Nobody did anything serious about ft, save perhaps to throw him, in fear, a morsel of food. In a village in eastern Syria I once saw’ a man, supposed to be a lunatic, wandering stark naked about a village. 1 and, with the dogs, seeking scraps to sustain his miserable existence. When Jesus appeared on the scene at Gadara. something hap pened. Christ's first characteristic was compassion, as it is of all His true friends He was not affrighted by the fierce lunatic or his cries; nor did He try to get rid of him by a bit of alms. Jesus went to the root ot the trouble, the evil spirits that possesed the |x»or'creature. In this true sense, Jesus is the most radical of all the world's leaders: He goes to the root of things. Some persons have complained that the Master did not establish new economic and social and political systems in the world. He went deeper than that, transforming the inner spirits of men. That is why the Jesus way is the safe way for our own times, if we would rebuild a nobler society from the bottom up. We rightly fear the short cuts that threaten—revolution, fascism, com munlsm, class war and what not.

Christ prevails, justice will be done, but with good will to all. A Persian Incident To fail in compassion is bitter and fundamental failure. Every one of us has regrets over the times when we were not kind and merciful. Once, speeding across the hot Persian desert, our car passed a miserable suppliant by the roadside Our Chautfer would not heed by call to stop. Yet I should have taken sterner measures; and the memory of that poor, abject, sßering creature on a distant desert will haunt me until I die. We store up woe for ourselves whenever we fail to be compassionate. If we can look upon the sufferings of the poor and underprivileged of our day without sympathy we surely are not disciples of Jesus. A Pitiable Creature TB?s fierce naked Gadarene dweller in tombs and haunter of the highways, frightener of peaceful folks, as he clanked his broken chains was no pleasant object. However, modern science would describe his ailment, he was possessed of evil spirits. Vile impulses dominated him. He was in opposition to all that was good; and he bitterly resented the presence and interest of the compassionate Christ, as the evil always dislike the good. My friende, Dr. B. C. Patterson, of China, tells of an almost analogous recent instance. The wife of 1 a Chinese Christian seemed possessed of demons: certainly she was diabolical in her spirit. By language, and actions she wrought only evil, stopping not at the taking of life. Finally, by force she was taken to the Christian chapei. where the believers prayed for her day after day. and night after night. Wonder of wonders, the old spirit was expelled and a new spirit imparted. . The woman became a Christian, and a loving, kindly, helpful member ot Iter household. In passing, as we contemplate , the fearsome figure of tue Gadarene demoniac, it is worth noting 1 that the only asylum for the insane in all the land of the Lord , is that established in the Lebanon by a Presbyterian missionary, the late Dr Mary Eddy, whom 1 Tnew well. .' Into The Pigs ’<ien Jesus drove the demons from their afflicted victim, they ' took refuge in a herd of swine ‘ feeding nearby, which straightway ! rushed down the steep incline and were drowned in the lake, while bystanders and swineherds looked on in affrighted wonder. 1 Straight to town and to the own--1 ers of the pigs—what right had

good Jews to be in the pork busi-i ndSs, anyhow ?—the message came 1 of the destruction of their proper-1 ty. Apparently, nothing was said, alajut the marvellous emancipaUou ot the poor demoniac, restored to normal maiffiood. When profits are concerned, the first thought Is seldom of the human values involved. In a contest between pigs and people, the pigs too often win. We think of the current scandal in West Virginia of the hundreds of workmen alleged to have died irom silicosis, because their employers skimped on the proper precautions. We recall the horrible stories of the fate of Qe workers on radium watches. Conditions in sweatshops are ever before us. When dividends are set against workers’ welfare, it is too often the workers who suffer. The Struggle That Is On Smack up against the burning question of property rights versus hitman rights we are brought by this old story from the life of Jesus. It is our day's deepest issue. After ail these hundreds of years of slow progress toward an understanding of the vafde that God sets upon man. H,;'s best handiwork the subject seems to have crystallized into the supreme social and political and religious and economic prdbiein of our generation. In this vast struggle which is already upon us—and it is not so simple as either the social agitators or the reactionaries woiAd have us believe —there is but one position for a Christian to take. He must Stand with his Master in devotion to a more abundant life for every human being. One of the reformers of a generation ago had as his slogan, "I am for man.” Let as hold the faith that God is for man; and the hope that man will yet be for God.

Grentienberg. architect and was built at Chevy Chase, Md„ under terms of the Federal Housing Administration's Single Mortgage System. The house is of Georgian style and has brick and tile exterior walls with a fire-resistant shingle root. The general appearance of dignity to this small house takes it out of the cottage class without making it seem overly pretentious. While it conforms to the traditions of its type, it also serves modem purposes admirably. Ihe plan embodies in a small area all the elements of a complete home. A centra', boxed-in stair makes small hail spaces possible and leaves all the exterior walls for rooms. Every room has cross ventilation except the bath. The living room is well proportioned and what traffic must pass through it docs not interfere with furniture arrangement or social grouping. The poreh is secluded and can be used both •' a i ing porch dining pereh. The garage, set slij'ntb at an angle, is an ingenious, idea and serves Hie practical purpose of allowing the driveway to clear the kitchen porch without any abrupt curves, > Sec-ond-Boor arrangement provides adequate accommodations for a family of four.
