Embittered By Ingratitude, Relief Workers Quit Tasks Human Nature In Its Rawness — And Royalty — Revealed By Depression — The Story Os Jesus And The Lepers — Modern Instances — Good Manners As A Social Force.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Some years ago, when lecturing on a Chatauqua circuit, one of iny fellow workers, a college graduate came to me with the commonest question that youth takes to older men for counsel: “What shall 1 do to find my life-work?" lu his case because of his peculiar qualifications, the answer was easy for experience to give; so 1 directed him to a certain great organization which 1 thought eonld use his talents. 1 heard nothing further until, several years later. 1 met the young man on the street, and asked after nis affairs. "Why, don’t you know? I followed your advise and got a job with the Blank Organization to which you sent me; and it is now paying me nine thousand dollars a year." It had never occurred to the fortunate youth to drop me a word of thanks. As he left me, 1 found myself murmuring, ."Where are the nine?" Every helper of his fellows can relate a succession of such stories of apparent ingratitude; appreciation may be felt, but it has not been spoken. During these depression years the strain upon volunteer relief workers has been heavy; and many have quit in bitterness I because they have not heard a 1 single “Thank you" from those whom they have served. No other factor has been so great as this one in slowing up welfare gifts and activities. Many social workers would say that the percentage of gratitude found by Jesus among the healed lepers—one iu ten —was higher than the average. "Unclean! Unclean!” That lepers were the recipients intensifies this familiar incident from Luke's Gospel. There is no other disease so dread as leprosy; and. until recent years, no cure 1 was known. Hy the Mosaic law, lepers were required to keep apart from their kind. At the approach of strangers they cried. "Unclean! Unclean!" Such a miserable group, up near the border of Galilee and Samaria, hailed Jesus, as He went on His momentous journey to Jerusalem. Only those who know leprosy can understand the horror of the spectacle of these miserable creattfres. with bloated skin, and. often, with members missing. Betore the Brit ish came to Palestone, a cluster of lepers used to beg at the bridge over the brook Kedron. between 1 Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives. * The Sunday School Lesson , for May 3is "Where Are The Nine?”—Luke 17:1-19. »«*•»»»♦*

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1936.

So great was the fame of Jesus, I the healer, that it had reached to a cluster of outcass, who, having heard of His coming, awaited Him off from the roadside. As He appeared, their husky throats cried, “Jesus, Master, have mercy upon us!” The loving heart of the Great : Physician, who is never deaf to any plea of need, made instant answer, in one of l ie most remarkable miracles ever recorded in the New Testament. Jesus did not have personal contact with the supplilants: only by His word He grant■ed them the priceless boon they sought. He bade the lepers show . themselves to the priests; and as they went they were made clean of their loathsome disease. "Where Are The Nine?” Only one of the transformed came back to render thanks, for a . boqn beyond all measure. This 1 failure evoked from the heart of Jesus the poignant phrase. “Where are the nine?" Evidently, gratitude was prized by the Master. Jesus humanly longed, as do all ot us. for understanding and appreciation. Indeed, is not the Bible full of exhortations to give thanks? Most of us fall down right here. We lack this quality which is a first mark of e gentleman and a I I Christian. Our common failure, and that of the nine lepers, is not only , a lack of common courtesy, but al- . so a denial of that principle expresed by the Psalmist: “Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.” All the helpers ot men who have been led to quit by lack of appreciation—and how bitterly I have ; frequently heard men express themselves upon public ingratitude! — have, in spirit, repeated Christ’s reproachful. "Where are the nine?” i Well, some of them are reading these lines. In these post-war years > even the civilities of dinner calls. a|id “bread and butter letters," ■ have been discarded, as every hos- . pitable home can testify. Public speakers can tell a shameful tale i. of not even perfunctory notes of I thanks from committees that diliglently sought their services. News- ■ (taper editors., common belief to .' the contrary notwithstanding, seli dom get testers of thanks for their . best editorials and features. This i generation is not characterized by the gracious spirit of appreciation. ,-which has always been assumed to i be one of the first marks of cul--i ture. What Ails Our Time? 1 Look a little deeper into this i j theme, and you will find one of : the fundamental ills of our era. ■ We are a captious, critical ceusor- | ious generation. Our newspapers have opened their pages to keyhole columnists, professional disparagers of public men. and critical connnemtatois who pick flaws in everything. We are just now passing out of an era of "debunk-

i ing" in general literature. One popI ular novelist has made Main Street an object of contempt and ridicule; and has coined a new name ot derision, "Babbit," for the average business man. It is our day's disposition to talk about the spots on the sun; and to ignore the sunshine, All speakiug platforms, including, too often, the pulpit, are infested with professional decriers of every thing new and constructive. Os generous, grateful and loyal spirits our times suffer a serious dearth. Both vital religion and constructive patriotism are at a dia- ; count today, with critics mouthing i their picayune complaints everywhere, Where is our real and spacious sense of the greatness of our Country; of the magnitude ot society's efforts to combat the depression and improve the social order, and of the beautty and beneficience of religion's unflagging service to the world? The stark facts of contemporary life, honestly faced, call for a mood of gratitude and praise. Great healings have been wrought, immense progress has been made toward a finer order of life; yet, “Where are the nine?” It is opportune that this challenging Lesson, straight out of the experience of Jesus, should summon us all to an exercise of the cardinal virtue of gratitude. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS What thou livest, live well; how long or short permit to heaven. — Milton. « • • Not getting the better of another person, but getting the best out of one's self is success. —Anon. • * • Were 1 so tall as to reach the pole. Or grasp the ocean with my span, I must be measured by my soul: The mind's the standard of the man.—lsaac Watts. * • • The beautiful bird gets caged.— Chinese Proverb. « • * The upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.—Prov. 2:21. * « « None could tell me where my Soul might be; 1 searched for God, but God eluded me, I sought my brother out. and found all three.—Ernest Crosby. * * • One's life is what he is alive to; to be alive only to appetite, pleasure. pride, money-making, and not to goodness and kindness, purity and love, history, poetry, flowers, stars, God and eternal hopes, is to be all but dead.—Babcock. o !_ Zion Reformed Church Charles M.
