Poverty And Plutocracy Problem In Bible Times Nothing New In Present Social Issue, Except Arous- *• ed Interest Os Whole World — Jesus Pictured Subject In Parable Os Dives And Lazarus.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Best of all ways of keeping “up to date” is to know what lies behind the times. Civilization it tearing its hair today over problems that were old before the pyramids were built. Many persons, including not a few preachers, seem to I have just discovered the social question, although it has plagued the world for thousands of years. Some of the most clear cut observations upon wealth and poverty ever recorded may be found in the eternally contemporaneous Scriptures. As society grapples afresh with this basic problem, which today bulks largest in all political and economic discussions, we need the sobering and clarifying influence of the Bimle’s teaching. A Dramatic Picture Facts should always precede comments; so ere we take up this rather stupendous Lesson, let us read Luke's brilliant report of the parable of Dives and Lazarus, as told by Jesus — “Dives” being merely the name commonly given the rich man. "Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, faring sumptuously every day; and a certain beggar named Lazarus was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desirings to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table; yea, even the dogs came and licked his sores. “And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and that he was carried away by the angels into Abraham's bosom: and the rich man also died, and was buried. “And in Hadeshe lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me. and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for 1 am in anguish in this flame. "But Abraham said. Son. remember tiiat thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good thinsg, and Lazarus in like manner evil thingth: but now here he is comforted, and thou are in anguish. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that they that would pass from hence to you may not be able, and that none maycross over from thence to us. “And he said. 1 pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldst send him to my father's house; for I have five brethren; that he may **••»*•«* * The Sunday School Lesson for April 26 it Dives and Lagarus. —Luke 16:19-31. • ***»•*««

testify unto them, lest they also i come into this place of torment. “But Abraham saith. They have Moses and the prophets: let them hear them. And He said, Nay, father Abraham; but if one go to them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him If they hear ■ not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, if one rise from the dead." A Two-World Problem That immortal and gripping story, in which may be found all . the elements of the problem of poverty and plutocracy is, first of all, a reminder of the antiquity of the question. The Bible is the book of the Jong look, forever taking . two worlds into account. Our modern mood is one of immediacy; we want everythin settled at once, before our eyes. Every one of the ; fantastic plans for social reform ; now before the public looks to a solution within the next few years > —preferably by means of the next . political election. Wise folk seek to enter into the patience of God, I “unhasting and unresting.” In terms of a day, the lot of Lazarus was bitter; and that of Dives was sweet. In terms of eternity. ■ Lazarus was the rich man and Dives the pauper. And this is the first i.point of the parable, shedding light > upon the great mystery of the ultimate purpose of human existence Life on earth affects eternal desi tiny. Character, thoughts, deeds all have a relation to the vast, unplumbable future. Dives had so conditioned him self on earth that he disqualified for the enjoyment of perpetual ! bliss. He was all body, with a starv--11 ling soul. He had developed none i of the spiritual qualities which out--1; last mortality. As I have watched , i the rich playboys and playgirls of 1 Florida this Winter, engrossed in ' material vanities. I have wonder- .' ed what powers they were exeri' cising that could be continued in- | to the endless lite. I saw a whole class wiped out in Russia. Again and Again Russian • aristocrats said to me. during i those killing days—"lmpossible! I Impossible!" Even yet many of i their number who escaped refuse ■lto believe that the old order of ■ privilege for the wealthy is ended. ■ Dives is naturally proud and arroigant. But the whole world today is ; in a ferment, and everywhere wit- : nessing fundamental changes in I i the social order. A Missed Opportunity In our Lesson parable, the high | tragedy* lies in the inability of Dives and Lazarus to cooperate as- ! ter the portal of death had been passed. That was in consequence iof their failure to get together on 'earth. If there had not been such a great distances between Dives' : banquet table and Lazarus' beggar ■ place at the gate, and between the

two mentalities and spiritual state, there would not have been a great! gulf fixed In the future world. Superficial think! ng assumes t that Lazarus went to Abraham's bosom because he was poor; and i that Dives went to perdition be-j cause he was rich. There is no war-1 rant in Scripture for such a shall- ! ow notion. Dives’ doom was his selfish, rich man's mind—his lack of care for others, his disregard of the clear teachings of religion, and his forgetfulness of the eternal spiritual verities. He was a bad neighbor. By implication, Lazarus bore his hardships with fortitude, and never surrendered the sovereignty of his soul. He sought spiritual consolation in his physical sufferings. So he won spiritual reward. In His first sermon, Jesus declared that He had come "to preach gpod tidings to the poor.” Hisl | compassion for the underprivileged was His outstanding characteristic. He condemned the unworthywealthy in startling terms. And the conclusion of the whole matter He gathered upon into this picture-parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus.

Harris at Oakland, Calif, from plans by Albert J. Fabre and Ernest H. Hillebrand, architects of San Francisco, is in the Colonial style, with a flavor o', both New England and Virginia. It is a good example of how Colonial can be adapted to an informal and irregular plan. The plan itself has many points of interest. The veranda en which open the living room, dining room, and breakfast room, being on the down side of the hill, commands a view and makes a plcas vnt place for Summer meals or sitting in the cool of the evening. Access front the kitchen to the bathroom without having to pass through the dining room or living room is a convenience not aiways provided. Enough closet tupm is shown to bring joy to the heart of any housewife. All bedrooms have cross-ventilation and good wall spaces for furniture arrangement. The utc of the square bath tub is interesting. A small heater room is included under the kitchen area, taking advantage of the hjil slope.
