Capping The Commandments Bigger, Better One

Ihe len Laws of Moses Summarized in a New Commandment of Jesus—The Master Impulse That Can Solve All Social and International Problems.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS My eight weetts in Palestine th:,yc.u were a revji'ilton of the hurt of hate. 1 worked faithfully on the commingled problem of Zionism, the Arab rebellion and British imperialism. My conclusion was that the situation is more nearly insoluble than any other international question 1 have ever studied. And all because of the deep, deadly spirit of ill-will that pervades the Land. The Arabs hate the Jews, and the Jews hate the Arabs; and both hate the British, in the country where Christmas was born there is no good will I could relate columns of incidents to illustrate this tragic situation. The few outstanding persons who advocate a rule of reason go in peril of their lives. This Palestine crisis is only one manifestation of a world-wide conditions. Nations seem to be mastered today by their dislikes and antagonisms. In Bulgaria I heard a grim story that illustrates the prevailing hateful mood. In a dream one night a Bulgarian peasant was visited by an angel. who promised him any boon that he might choose; provided that his neighbor with whom he was at feud, should receive a double portion of the same gift. Promptly the peasant replied. "Then I ask you to put out one of my eyes." He was willing to lose one eye if thereby his neighbor might be wholly blinded. That is the spirit of some of the war planning nations today. A Sure Cure for Day’s Ills Surveying the social and political scene around the world neat at hand, as well as far abroad any sensible observer is bound to conclude that only some new and greater force than has yet been operative can save the day. Society is tottering on the edge of an abyss over which the old bridges have broken down. Whence may help be expected.’ Force, and yet more force, is not the answer. Governments are in grave danger of collapsing under their own weight of armaments. Sophistication will not do it; the political and literary and economic realms are top-heavy with smartness. The pledged word of governments means less than nothing with many nations today: broken treaties are as popular as the high hair-do with women. International law has collapsed before our eyes. We are driven back to the audacity of the trail-breaking Christ. He propounded a workable way out, a new law that comprehends all other law. For He dared to declare a New commandment, a summary of the Ten Laws delivered on Mount Sinai, and a fresh vitalizing of then i. in twenty-nine brief words Jesus, the new Lawgiver, uttered the truth that embodies xl' otiie' tl , ut h, and all other laws.: 11m shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all Uiy mind. And . . - thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." He added. “On these wo commandments the whole law hangeth, and all -he P-ophe-s., “Art Thou Great Enough. A passionate line from Mrs. 81 -owning reads. “O heart of mme. art thou great fo ’'.. That is the question for all ot ns today Are we really great enough wise enough, self-subordinating enough, tar-seeing enough, stouthearted enough —for the 11 love’ Have we the essential charter that will enable us to put away pettiness, meanness self-in-feres, and to walk in stamy the shining highway of love. Dare we cultivate the glormus anirit of Jesus, which loved the unlovely and -he hate-fUled; the foe, aH That not easy; indeed, it is th ™preme b"'V,o e governed supremely by the -” i ''' t tin l^ , Ji”'‘""vexatious problems.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1938.

( into being the practice of the Jesus Law of Love mean the changing, of a billion and a half of minds and habits. Did you ever try seriously to change a man's mind — or a woman's? It took me seven years to change Milady's mind, so that she would marry me. Thus I would make concrete the vastness of the task that Jesus undertook when He summoned mankind to live only by the sublime Law of Love — love for God, which is a task engaging all of one's powers, and love for the unlovable neighbors who fill this world. If I knew some easier way, some shorter cut, to make over our world, and to solve the day's critical prob- [ lems, be sure I would cry it from the world's housetops. But as 1 see it. there is no other way of a comi prehensive, transforming all-anl- : mating love. He Practiced It Here is a program for society that is better than Communism, better than Socialism, better than Fascism, better than democracy, 1 better than king-rule. It will right all wrongs, old and new. It will abolish class lines. It will put peace and happiness and security into every breast. It will bring in the long dreamed-of "(»ood lime coming.” It will establish the Kingdom of God on earth. As Mt. Everest is higher than Pike's Peak, so the Master's sumi mary of the Law in terms of love rises above the topmost reach of ; Mt. Sinai. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS A fault confessed is half redressed. — Old Proverb. * • • There is nothing that costs so little and goes so far as courtesy. —Anon. * * * To every man there openeth away, And away and away. And the high soul takes the high road And the low soul gropes the low, And in between on the misty flats The rest drift to and fro; But to every man there openeth A high way and a low, And every man decideth The way his soul shall go. —John Oxenham. * • » The question to be asked at the end of an educational stejt is not "What has the child learned? ' but “What has the child become?” J. P. Monroe. * * * In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand. — Luke 11:6. We rise by the things that are under our feet; By what we have mastered of good and gain; By l he pride deposed and the passion slain. And the vanquished ills that we hourly meet. —J. G. Holland. Small kindness, small courtesies, small considerations, habitually practised in our social intercourse, give a greater charm to the character than the display of great talents and accomplishments. — M.
