The Bed-Rock Reason For A Better Order Os Life Beneath All Other Considerations For Social o# S i ,C u Jes * (J ear Mandatory Will ew Appreciations Os The Bible s Oldest Teachings.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Out of the training of many mod ern children and youth has gone* the old Imperative “must." Our 1 fathers were reared in an order wherein obedience was the first law. Nowadays we have tried to ■upplant obedience by ‘‘self expression.’’ Even babies are coddled in their wistfulness and tantrums. A bogus importance had been imparted to the impulses and desires of immaturity. The sacreduess and sovereignty of youthful personality has been exalted to the debasement of the ancient authority and rights of parents and of the community. One of the popular games of modern youth is the “scavenger hunt," which usually Involves looting other persons' property. Stolen signs are a favorite adornment of college rooms. The supreme court of the younger generation has ruled that there is no law higher than "Obey that impulse.” Is it any wonder that our contemporary western world is deemed lawless? "He That Must Be Obeyed" We do not have to repeat the colossal blunder of Europe s authoritarian states in order to cure the evils of excessive individualism. But we simply must find an adequate authority and •purpose for the control of our runaway times. Mere paper scheme® of desirable conditions do not get us very far. Any theorist can write down an outline of how the world ought to behave in order to create an ideal manner of life. But none of these projects ever provides an' enabling and enacting clause.; What we must have is the Divine imperative—a clear compulsion to duty, with the power to fulfill that duty This means that we must; look beyond convention resolutions j legis'ative action for some reason and force that will really chan-1 ge things for the better. Here it is—written four thousand years ago: and today assigned for study by the Sunday Schools.. Our Lesson is happily entitled by I the International Committee “God Requires Social Justice." The one | adequate reason for social justice., apart from the manifest needs of society, is that God commanos It,, and has always commanded it. | Throughout all the long period of written revelation, as recorded in the two Testaments, the Almighty has been insisting upon justice between man and man; upon good will and neighborliness, and upon righteous living. In the darkest of humanity’s days, this light hat- ».*•*»*** •The Sunday School Lesson for September 5 is "God Requires Social Justice."—Leviticus 19:1-18, 32-37. ~«••••* *

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1937.

i continued to shine. Whoever en- , gages in exploitation or oppression , of his fellowmen: whoever serves himself to the hurt of others; whoever withholds his neighbor's right; , whoever fails in fairness and brotherly consideration; whoever lives in luxury, heedless of the poor, is violating the explicit command of the Most High; and will ultimately he held to account. That is a grim thought, but it is clear Scripture. "He who must be obeyed" has decreed it in unmistakabe terms. “Repent! Repent! Repent" Once a publisher refrauded me out of my share of the proceeds of a highly successful book which I had written. 1 having trusted his oral word as to compensation. The sheer dishonesty of the affair stag- ■ gered me; and 1 continued to believe that someday a sense of shame, or an awakened instinct of honor, would lead the firm to make restitution. Then, somehow, the feeling became strong within tne that the case is one for Divine reckoning: that pubisher and his associates may be left to the inevitable judgment of a Supreme Being who never winks at injustice. Every crooked business man, who never looks beyond his ledgers, will some day have to look into the stern face of a just Judge. Not without reason did Jesus deal repeatedly with the thought of hell. John the Baptist's cry, "Repent! Repent! Repent!" will have to run, through the realms of business,] labor unions, politics and social, life ere the conditions demanded I by the Lord can be fulfilled. Resti-1 tution always follows sincere re- ‘ pentance. and is the proof thereof, i Perhaps we could do with a little i more of the stern preaching of a Jonathan Edwards upon "Sinners i in the hands of an angry God." Our , ] day has forgotten the Scripture: which says. “Shall not the Judge ; ' of all the earth do right?” Who Say So? I It would be easy to devote today's column to annotation of this pregnant passage from the ancient i Levitical Law. The injunctions are I significantly joined with affirms- ! tions of Jehovah’s Godhead. | Is it a linking of the small and j the great when the law requiring I every harvest to leave portions for ! the gleaning of the poor is followi ed by the reminder, “I am Jehovah your God"? Not so; it is a statement of effect and of cause. "Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to another ... I am Jehovah. "Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbor, nor roo him: the wages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until morning ‘ ..I am Jehovah.” ' -Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quantity. Just balances. just weights, a just ephah, (about a bushel) and a just hin. ‘ (about a’gallon and a half) shall • i ye have: I am Jehovah. Thus all the practices of fair

dealing, and of right social rela- 1 tionshlps, were Inextricably bound up with the nature of God. There are countless reasons why the prevailing evils in human organization should be remedied; but the one transcending them all is that which gave the Crusades of the Middle Ages thfilr motto: "It is the will of God!" Os this there cannot be the slightest donbt in the mind of any one who accepts the Bible as a true revelation of the Supreme Being. Men of wide horizon, possessed of a sense of public responsibility, should be giving thought, in these days of unrest, to the wisdom of strengthening all those agencies which proclaim the paramountcy of God, such as the church and the Sunday School. The shortest, surest way to remedy the evils of lawlessness, class strife and social injustice is to win men and women to obedience to the God whose will is "Supreme Law.” SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS

It is the practice of the multitude to bark at eminent men, as little dogs do at strangers.—Seneca. • « * I would be virtuous for my own sake, though nobody were to know it; as I would be clean for my own sake, though nobody were to see me.—Shaftesbury. * « • All habits gather by unseen degrees, As brooks make rivers, Rivers run to seas. —Dryden. * • * Our duty is not to see what lies dimly at a distance but to do what ■ lies clearly at hand. —Osler. • • * Cary ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.— Gal. 6:2. ♦ • • Thou art the true and perfect gentleness. No harshness has Thou, and no bitterness: Make us to taste and prove. Make us adore and love The sweet grace found in Thee; With longing to abide Ever at Thy dear side. In Thy sweet unity. —John Calvin. • • * The bird is not always on the i wing, but he is ready to fly in an instant; so the believer is not always on the wing of prayer, but he has such a gracious aptitude for this exercise that he is prepared in an instant, when in danger or i need, to fly refuge to his God.— ! Rowland Hill.
