Christian Persons Lesson for November 18,1956 WHICH is more important, what a person is or what he does? According to Jesus, what a person is, is the main thing. These two cannot be separated. On the one hand a person does what he does because he is the kind of per-

son he is; on the other hand a person cannot be the kind of character Jesus describes, without doing. The ideal character, as Jesus draws it, is not to be grown in a hot-house nor in a cellar like

mushrooms. An ideal person develops only in a world of person*. But let us see. Every one of what we call the eight "Beatitudes” or “Blessed’s” needsvery careful study. All one thin column can do is to call attention in a very general way to three facts about Christian persons a* Jesus pictures ttem here. Perhaps no actual Christian every fully matches the picture, the ideal; but the more a Christian resembles this description, the more these three facts will be true about him. A Christian Is Happy Again and again in reading the Bible we come to something that shows what nonsense it is to think of the Christian life, I the God-pleas-ing life, asT'sWtbf prison existence. God’s requirements are not like chains, weights, handcuffs, barbed wire, electric fences. They are what makes life truly free and strong. When Jesus describes the ideal—God’s i d ea I—character, in these Beatitudes, he begins every sentence with the word which though often translated “blessed” was the regular ordinary word for “happy.” Some people get the whole business of what it means to be a Christian, sadly twisted. They think: What a Christian has to do and be is not pleasant; but he grits his teeth and goes through with his hard task bravely, knowing that God wilTone day reward him for his life of martyrdom. Not at alt According to Jesus, the ideal char- f acter is the one that finds real joy in becoming more and more like our Father in heaven. Your real athlete is the man who enjoys sports, not the man who goes out for athletics only so as to earn a “letter.” Your real artist is the person who loves to paint or write, not the man who writes or paints only because he has to, to make money. Your real cook is the man or woman who enjoys cooking, not . the one who feel* like a martyr over a kitchen range. So your real Christian is the one who is happy being one. Christian Life Flows Outward A second fact about the Christian life is that it is not self-centered but flows outward. It is not like a swamp into which streams flow without ever finding an outlet; it is more like a mountain lake, fed by fresh springs and kept, fresh because its water flow on in a sparkling river. A person cannot be truly good if he lives to himself and for himself. Consider how many of the Beatitudes could be true of a hermit living on an Island apart from other people. Very few, if any. A selfish Christian is a contradiction in terms. “Love thy neighbor as thyself” is a commandment older than Christianity; but Christ himself approved it. “What do I get?” is not the Christian's first question, but “How may I help?” This does not mean that a good Christian is a kind of meddlesome Mattie, running around sticking his finger into other people’s affairs. It does mean that in the countless human contacts which he has everyday, as well as in his whole life-plan, he will not think of the world of men as merely an orange which is his to squeeze. Out of Line? Now ■ man from Mars might think that Christians would be the most popular people in the world. Everybody would love them and want them around. As a matter ot fact, we have to remember that Jesus himself was bitterly hated and finally crucified. In the Beatitudes themselves there is the prediction that “all manner of evil” things will be said of Christ’s followers. The simple, ugly reason for this is that this is a world still mostly out of line with God, which in other words means out of line with Love. The true Christian will always seem somewhat out of line (with this world. If all men speak well of you, there must be something wrong with you.

W/iy Should I Go To i Church? Bev. James R. Meadows People sometimes ask the question, “Why should I go to. church?” "To hear a good ser-i mon.” "To Listen to fine music.” , “To Meet with good people.” But sometimes the sermon or the music may be ordinary, and we . may be strangers unacquainted with anyone. There is another reaj son always full of appeal and cogency, "To get away from ourselves and our surroundings, and to meet with God." This has been put forcibly by Lord Courtney, not a preacher, just simply a great Englishman: "We go to church and enter an atmosphere of calm. The distilled wisdom of the ages is about us. The oldest narratives of human history are read in our hearing, and through all familiarity of pharse the sincerity of the narrator forces itself upon us. The sense that we are at one with the singers of countless generations is uplifting. All this may be possible in the closet. The sublimation of it may startle us as we walk along the streets. But the periodical withdrawal into these ancient houses of service, built with hands, helps us to dwell in houses not built with hands.” There is something about going to church we cannot get listening in on a radio.
