Simple Solution Os Complex Problems Is In Old Story Greatest Teacher Long Ago Laid Down Law Os Everyday Neighborliness In Parable Os Good Samaritan —No Scheme Os Politics Or Economics Can Succeed \\ i'hout This Validation.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS There is an old and familiar story that contains more of light and leading for our troubled times than all the sophistication of the day s atatesment and reforeiers. it is so simple a tale that its tremendous import may be missed by the mighty and the wise, to whom cleverness, cunning, intricacy atid novelty make first appeal Therein they differ from Jesus, who spoke simple truths in plain language; and His wisdom is cf abiding application. There is moie help for this present critical era in His parable of the Good Samaritan than iu communism, fascism. Social credit, Townsendism. capitalism or any other theory now being currently propounded. All of the millions of persons who will consider this present Sunday School Lesson will do so in vain unless they understand it as the Mastter Woid for the solu tion of the problems of social welfare, i-eononiic readjustment, world peace, class and racial antagonism ,iiv“ tolitica! perplexity. Naturally, it applies first tc individual life; but when so applied, and carried out to clear intent, it settles all the vexed questions of our time. For good neighbors do not ight one another, or exploit one aiioth er. or hate one another, or iguorc one another. Incredible Simplicity We marvel at the almost incredible simplicity of the teachings of Jesus. Contrast theiii’ with any theological creed, or political party platform, or supreme court decision. or social platform, all with their many and difficult words Anybody can understand Jesus; that is why “the common people heard Him gladly. ' Often, as in this case. He wrapped up His greatest teachings in a plain little story at first sight, a strange way to answer a clever theological lawyer who was trying to trap Him. Wiser than all others. Jesus yet nfade His primary app al Io th" hearts of nun He sought to impart a master mood and motive to life. Thus, the point of the Good Samaritan parable is -merely. "Hein everybody you can reach, by any means in your power." There arc no barriers of race, religion, class or geography in real neighborlines. During the great 1906-07 Chi nese famine one missionary organ ization undertook to feed only Christians. Hut the sentiment of

all other missions, ami of the puliI lie. drove them froth this narrow . position. The Old Jerico Road ( Nowadays, trippers to the Holy . Land whizz down —4000 feet—from Jerusalem to Jerico in automobiles, over a good road, in about an , hour, and in perfect safety, under ( the protection of 7t ri 11 s h law. I When first 1 made the trip, on . horseback, the road was bad and , the danger from highwaymen was real. Half way down is shown the , legendary site of the Good Samari itun inn, so keen were Christians of earlier day for identifying Biblical sites. But this was the very road of ill repute, when Jesus pic- , tured the traveller lying, beaten, bruised, bleeding. Here passed by .'on the other side, upon seeing him, , the priest and the Levlte. probab ( ly fresh from the services of the temple; and so wrapped in sectarian prejudices that they would have nothing to do with a stricken I wayfarer, however needy. Subtly thrusting at His ques’loner's Jewish self: Ighteosnes ;, Jesus made the hern of His tale a I Samaritan, even as He had made I its unlovely characters super-urd-ently orthodox. For it was the Samaritan who bent over the wounded man in pity, poureu oil on his . wounds and bound them up. and I then mounted him on the donkey. I while he himself walked. Arrived pit the inn, he paid the victim's bill and made himself sponsor for his further needs. Even the wordplaying critic of Christ had to admit that this was neighborliness indeed. As The Road Runs Today Jerico Road runs through all -tile uges and all lands, and past every man's door. It is the road of testing by which good neighbors are known How many smitten and wounded and needy lie along the Jerico Road' The past live years have opened the world's eyes to the vast numbers of persons who suffer and lack. The unemployed, the ill. the aged, the incompetent, all await the coming of the good neighbor spirit, which will bear a way to safety and sin cor every victim. Nothing more is needed.

iness will take care of itaelt' ns soon as we ui;e all bent upon being good neighbors Applied religion us well as practical economics are both encompassed in rtte la-autlful old story of the Good Samaritan. I’aul wrote to the Romans (13:81, "He that loveth his neighbor hath fulfilled the law.” Father John Tabb, the Maryland inouk, gathered p the truth into oue of his terse I quatrains: i "Thou hast on earth u Trinity,— Thyself, my fellow man, and me: i When one with him then one with Thee: ‘ Nor, save together, Thine are we." "If Your Heart Keeps Right” Mrs. Lizzie A. DeArmond set the world to singing. "Every cloud will wear a rain bow if your heart keeps right." This but paraphrases the Lesson teaching. Jesus would have every man possessed of a heart of coini passion. Down deep at the springs of though' and action, Jesus would plant this impulse of neighborliness, of good will, of responsibility for others. Thus would all of life !be changed Succinct and imperative was the ; Master's won word to the lawyer, : who confessed, doubtless reluctant- • ly, for he refused to repeat his name, that the Samaritan was a • good neighbor. "Go, and do thou i likewise." The Little Big Word So, in our English speech, a litt’e ■ word of two letters was made to bear the brunt of the whole disjeussion. Jesus said, “DO." The I lawyer had tried to trap the MasI ter in a web of theological affirmation means more than docs a holy life. But Jesus put the accent on the word "do." After all, we only really know as much truth as we practice; all else is but useless attick stuff. , Get busy about being a neighbor. Do the deed and you will express the creed. Would we be servers and savers of our world'.’ Then be a good neighbor, up to the limit of our capacity to understand and to perform.
