TWO BROTHER* LEARN TOLERANCE - LESSON TF.XT— Mark 3 14-17; Luks »:»■», I John 4: 7. 8 GOLDEN TEXT—And this commandment have we from him. that ha who loveth God leva hit brother alto.—l John *” Intolerance is soundly condemned in our day, and we agree that the spirit which hates or hinders a man because be is of a certain race or creed is definitely wrong. Even within Christian circles we could | well learn more of that fine spirit of Christ which Is epitomized in the I words, "no respecter of persons". A word of caution Is needed, however, lest we come to extend our tolerance to that which is sinful, wicked or destructive. One should never tolerate poison in a child’s food, or in his textbooks. One does not tolerate a fire while it destroys one’s house. Nor should one be tolerant of false teaching which breaks down faith In the Bible as the Word of God. James and John were outstanding in their places of leadership for God. 1 Wc learn In our lesson for today that I. God Wants Powerful Men (Mark 3:14-17). There seems to be an impression 1 current in some places that being a Christian is practically synonymous with being a weak, frightened, negative person without either personality or power The fact is that the gn<pni of our' Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ rightly interpreted, and fully received into the heart and hfe of a man. brings such a tremendously enriching and transforming experiencethat it appeals to all, including the vital, dynamic type. These two men were "the sons' of thunder ”; that Is. they had that flashing alertness and power of personality which made them quick to understand and decisive in action. True, it showed itself in an impatience which was wrong and a desire to bring down judgment, when they should have shown compassion. but that was power out of con- j trol, always a dangerous thing. H. God Wants Balanced Men (Luke 9:49, 50). Power goes to a man’s head, and • he needs the balance of God to keep him from going astray. Then too, I strong men have Intense loyalties and are not afraid to assert them,' and arc prone to condemn all who do not conform. John was here exhibiting that' dreadfully sectarian viewpoint which 1 persists even in our day. To him it I was not enough that a man was doing the Lord's work; he must either! join their particular circle or quit. He was willing to stop a work of grace because this disciple of Christ was not in the regular group. That same spirit prevails today. One wonders how some narrow sectarians can read the words of Jesus without blushing in shame and rushing to his feet for forgiveness and eleansing. God wants dynamic men to work for him; but he wants them to be poised and balanced in their dealings with others, especially with the brethren. 111. God Wants Patient Men (Luke The friction between the Jews and the Samaritans dated from the time when the latter—a half-Gentile people—were denied the right to help in building the temple. That became the foundation for long and bitter strife, which showed up in such a discourteous net as to refuse a night's lodging to travelers because their destination was the hated city of Jerusalem Their offense viewed from another angle was far more than a bitter lack of courtesy, for they were turning from their door the Son of God. the Lord of glory. Stubborn prejudice combined with spiritual ignorance to make this, tense and explosive situation. The sons of thunder bad an answer ready—let's blow them off the earth. Simple, wasn't it? Yes, but neither right nor kind. These poor people should have drawn forth their compassion, not their hatred or a desire for revenge. Whenever and wherever you see ■ man set to get revenge on another, you see a man who knows nothing of the true spirit of Christ (v. 55). IV. God Wants Loving Men (I John 4:7. •). Love is not merely something that God shows toward men or inspires in their hearts. God is love. Being God. he is love, and that love is not a passive quality but an active one. He loves. Because he is love, those who profess to belong to him are also to love one another, to love a world lost in sin, yes. to love even the utterly unlovely. Volumes have been written on this subject, but here we must be satisfied just to state the fact and to ask ourselves the direct question. Do I manifest the love of God in my life? Well, do you? - - Era!?

The southernmost Indiana district, always a battleground for almost evenly-matched rural and urban Interests, will have the biggest and perhaps best congressional battle in tin- primaries next Tuesday. When Charles LaFollette relinquished his seat in the U. 8. House to stump th« state for the Republican senatorial nomination, he precipitated a wide-open. 10-inan race for the eighth district nominations. Seven Republicans and three Democrats were in the Held, biggest one in any congressional area in the state. Jostling in the eighth district was in sharp contrast to primary action in the fifth, sixth and seventh districts. Incumbent representatives, all Republicans, in the latter three districts- Forest A. Harness of Kokomo (fifth). Noble J. Johnson of Terre Ila Jute (sixth) and Gerald W. landis of Linton (seventh) sought re-e|e<-tlon and their blds cut down the number of aspirants. latiidis. in fact, was unopposed for the Republican nomination. Harness, Political observers felt, may hare a "run tor his money" in the primary with Harry A. Fawcett, publisher of the weekly Ruslaville Observer, regarded as the main threat. Johnson's GOP rival. Samuel W WoodsmaH, Terre Haute insurance man. was not rated as a major hurdle. Briefly, here’s the district by-dis-trict picture: Fifth Harness, bidding for a fifth term, has two GOP rivals and three Democratic opponents. Fawcett might cause the incumbent trouble, it was felt, with Jack Lewis of Anderson. the third man in the race. William W. Welsh.
