THE LAST man on the .totem pole is still a man. The man at the bottom of the ladder, the man underneath the heap, the last man, the-least man: if there is no justice for him then there is no justice. For the ideal of justice, as the Bible upholds it, is that ALL men shall be

treated with fairness, and more—with consideration, pity and helpfulness in the name of God. If everybody gets fair treatment except the bottom layer, then when you who have been fortunate all

these years slip into that bottom layer you will discover there was not so much justice as you thought In Mark Twain’s story “The Prince and the Pauper” the prince thought everything was smooth and fine; but when he changed places with the pauper and looked at things from the seamy side, he could not find justice anywhere. Who they are So-called justice which only “divides the spoil with the strong" and leaves no share for the weak, is only so-called. It is precisely the persons who cannot fight for themselves, the little people without votes, the unimportant people, the forgotten and obscure, those who live and die in the shadows, it is precisely these whom a true and Christian justice will not forget The strong will get their share and more besides if they can get by with it It is the weak who need protection and defense. The Bible lines them up for us, and a sorry rag-tag lot they are to look at Here is the poor man who needs a loan and (as everybody knows) will never be able to pay it back. Here are the people so poor that they cannot buy food, but have to live on the wheat they pick up from somebody else’s harvest field, the grapes they pick off some land-owner's vines. Here is the family uprooted, wanderers on the face of the earth, without home or job. Here are the nameless, faceless people totally obscure, tor whom history has no name except in the lump—“the multitudes.” Here are the sick people too poor to have a doctor; here is a woman some doctor has made poor. Here are the people in prison, here is a beggar shivering at the back door. Wbat they sood Os course, such helpless people need not have been so helpless if perhaps society had been differently organized, or if there had been better laws. Such desperate situa-’ tions ought to be prevented in the first place, to be sure. For example: it has not been a lifetime since there were beggars on an roads. The tramp and the hobo were common sights. Now how long is it since you have seen a tramp ? How many beggars do you know by sight? The reason why we have fewer beggars now even in a depression than we used to have even in times of prosperity is partly due to the fact that the man who lost his job in hard times used to have nothing; now he draws unemployment insurance. Prevention of poverty is much easier than curing it. Nevertheless, with all the prevention we have the wit and the courage to provide, we still have the problem cases, the hopeless and helpless ones. Fergotten Falk It is not only individuals who have run into personal hard times who need help, but whole groups and classes of people in trouble, need more help, more fair treatment, than they usually receive. There are, for example, the people in the mental hospitals of America, a half minion of them at a recent count Unless your state is a most unusual one, such patients in your state do not have nearly enough doctors, nurses, attendants, or attention. Then consider that for every patient who can get into a mental hospital, even the understaffed, overcrowded ones we have, there are numbers of others who cannot be admitted. What is being done for these people by your church, your community, your state? Or consider Juvenile delinquents, or adult lawbreakers on parole. Does your community ignore these bottomrung derelicts, or does it do anything te help them, or to prevent their Mng derelicts?

nal benefit. The church will manage to get along without you, but you are in a desperately unfortunate condition so long as you are trying to get along without the benefits and blessings of which the church is the custodian. The church claims that it has something which represents you a positive, personal need, and it would be delinquent in its duty if it failed to tell you about it. The church claims that you, as a rational, immortal being, have no right to drift on to eternity without answering definitely questions like the following: Is there a God? Where am I from? What am I here for? Where am I going? What is God’s attitude towards me? What is life? What is death? What is there beyond the grave? Where shall I spend eternity?
