Getting Hold Os Life By Handle, Jesus Fashion

Two Contrasting Conceptions of Living, as Set Forth by Present Vogues, and By the Great Teacher—Taking the Ixmg Look.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Everybody's deepest interest is iu the question of how to live. That outranks the other question ' of how to make a living. Each mortal has a right to life, I to real life, to the best life. We I are not mere passive pieces in a j picture puzzle of existence, or I wooden pawns in a game played l by blind fate. Every human being is an indi-1 vidual personality, with an inalien- ! able right to fullest development. ■ lu the very least of us, this divine, dower cries out for expression. I With all the power we possess, we | protest that we are not chips on a stream, not straws iu a wind, not parts of a machine, not helpless creatures of circumstances. Every one of us knows himself to ' be a spiritual entity, designed for I freedom. Our innermost selves cry 1 aloud for an experience that shall ■ be more than the routine of a la-1 borer, a clerk, a tender of business, a housekeeper, a lawyer, a mechanic, a mere money maker. We scorn the lot of that Frenchman whose cynical epitaph ran: "Born a man. died a grocer.” Grasping Life By Handle In colloquial phrase, how may a person get hold of life by the handle. so as to wield it instead of being wielded by it? There are two principal answers, only one of which is true. That given by the rebellious spirits of I the present generation is to use life I as a toy. Play with it, toss it idly aliout, flout it, break it, throw it away, and by no means regard it seriously. This may be called the "smart Aleck" philosophy, which disdains any serious or comprehensive attitude toward life. Its program is to live for the moment, and to satisfy j every desire that is near and noisy. Whatever is old is fogyish and foolish. (By the way, what will happen when the Jazzites waken up to the realization that life is long and real and earnest, and that it contains old age. as well as youth? “Smart Aleckism” is a philosophy only for immaturity.) Duty, drudgery, responsibility, veneration —these are taboo words and taboo principles with our merry materialists. They are only out for a “good time,” even if they must have it by being bad. Meeting Life Man-Fashion There is another and truer answer for those who would take hold of life by the handle. It Is expressed in all the stored-up literature and lore of the race; but best in Holy Writ. It is the topic of this Lesson, as set forth by Jesus after his Caesarea Philippi experience. This principle is that every man's life has opportunities and obligations outside of himself. In the Christian conception, life is a mission, a responsibility, a stewardship. It is a talent entrusted to us by God, for the use and increase of which we are accountable. In the form of a paradox, the Master, as reported in our Lesson by Mark, expressed ‘his great truth: "Whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for My sake and the gospel's shall save it. For what doth it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life Many persons complain that they do not really live; they only exist. Here we have, in the truth of surrender and stewardship and service, the secret of how to mak“ life a bubbling, flowing spring; a perennial source of satisfaction. By this interpretation, man is sent into the world with powers and possibilities for development. His chief end is to' fulfill his capabilities of growth and of service. Because he partakes of the Divine nature, he has been given a Divine mission His own soul-stature depends upon his acceptance of responsibilities commensurate with 'his character. A pregnant word of wise old Paul —one of the few explicit statements in Scripture of why Christ was offered up on the Cross —puts the principle thus, in his Second Letter to the Corinthians (5:15): “He died for all. that they that live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto Him who for their sakes died and rose again.” And, of course, to live for Christ is to live for man: "Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these, ye did it The Sunday School Lesson for April 10 is “Finding Ourselves In Service.” — Mark 8: 27-37.

unto Me.” A Pastime or a Purpose So life is not a pastime, but a ; purpose. We take it by the handle ; when we grasp it as God's gift, I meant to be used for its highest j ends. In the teachings of Jesus, life is a talent to be employed. I This stewardship conception, 1 which runs through all of the I Bible, puts power into living. It | uot only saves the spirit from pessimism and discouragement, and i from the withering blight of aimlessness, but it also lifts it up to ! the Divine level. With Jesus, the i person who has devoted himself to this sacred conception of life may say. reverently, “The Father work eth hitherto, and 1 work.” The talent-man finds himself to be in i unity with the universe; “in league | with the stones of the fields”; : bound up iu the bundle of God's 1 will. Existence yields its sweetest I secrets to those persons who have apprehended this primary significance of life, as a talent to be possessed and employed and increased. iu responsibility to a wise Father s will. There is no other failure in life greater than this, to fail to accept our place and our possessions and our possibilities as a Divine trust, as a commission from the Creator. Self-centeredness is always, as iu the case of the one-talent man, defeat. The sense of service and of trusteeship always inspires to true j success. The selfish soul loses what it has: the steward-soul increases iu capacity and iu possession and in honor. We have life by the handle when we lift it as a libation cup to be poured out. and not as a draught to lx? drained.

cost, than merely to provide them with food and shelter and let them wait in idleness for private jobs? For the answers the committee went to the local officials who have had to dovetail their unemployment, local needs and the federal work relief machinery. Letters asking for information were sent to all mayors, presidents of town boards, county surveyors, supreintendents of schools and county auditors. The committee received 325 replies. The replies gave the committee a very representative picture. Officials in all but three cities were loud iu their praise of the federal works relief program. After the reports from local officials had had been digested, the committee prepared its report and forwarded it to the national community improvement appraisal committee in Washington. The report revealed that the federal works program has operated successfully in Indiana and has the endorsement of virtually all officials. Q — 4 Fotos 10c. 240 W. Madison.
