Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Jan. 22. Jesus and the Law. Mark 2:18-22; 3:1-6. BY WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor The Congregationalist T'j'EW questions have been more -*• important in history than the relation of man to law. Few questions, incidentally, are more important than this in America at the present hour. Only some rare and anarchic spirit, either of v/ilful disregard of the rights and privileges of others or of some half fanatical appreciation of liberty as a speculative thing, ever has questioned the value of law and custom, or of what law and custom have meant in the evolution of man from barbarism. But laws and customs that were designed to meet specific needs crystallize, sometimes, into unjust or meaningless oppressions. Instead of enlarging the vision of man and giving greater scope to his spirit, they may weaken his initiative and suppress his personality and will. Thus, it comes about in history that from one standpoint law breakers have played almost as large a part in progress as law observers. Back ?n the very beginning of Christianity, when the Apostles were admonished by the authorities to do certain things, their reply was: “We ought to obey God rather than men.” In much the same spirit John Bunyan at a later day spent twelve years in Bedford jail because his conscience would not permit him to obey the law of the land which forbade freedom in prayer and worship. Ruling Principle What then is the principle that must rule in life in relation to law? Or is there a principle that is easily discovered and easily aperal aeronautic sensations in their presentation, “Frolics of the Air.” BOBBY VAN HORN—“Professor of laughosophy,” retails humorous stories attired in academic cap and gown and sings several numbers in a jovially robust baritone voice. Bobby is a real master laughter maker and well deserves the title of “glee dispenser.’ RUSSELL AND THE WYNNE SISTERS*— Provoke laughter in a rough and tumble comedy offering, “Bits of Variety.” One of the oldest fancies in vaudeville, a burlesque adagio dance, js here given a few new and laughable twists. CAROL AND JAMES—In their comedy skit, “A Girl, a Boy and 1,000 Laughs,” provide a veritable barrage of puns in a rapid-fire exchange of new witticisms and songs. EVELYN VEE—With Jack Quinlan and the Old Timer will be seen in their new comedy skit entitled “Parking and Sparking.” ON THE SCREEN—A Fox comedy, “Hold Your Hat,” and Edgar Guest Poetic Jewel, “Yellow Dog,” and a Kinograms news reel.

plied? A complex matter may be made much too simple, but if there is a principle and solution it would seem to be suggested in our lesson. It is found in the suggestion that there is a higher law that runs through life than the law of custom and convention, or even than the law of the State. There is an authority of the voice of truth and conscience which, when a man once hears it, subdues every other voice. Here, for instance, was this custom and convention that the Pharisees observed about fasting, but Jesus pointed out that there is such a. thing as fasting in spirit, a reverence in the inner sanctuary of the soul, which is much more sacred than any law concerning an external observance. It is possible to fast bodily and yet have very little of this spirit of fasting as an expression of the soul’s aspiration. So, too, in this more important illustration of the question of healing on the Sabbath day. Custom and convention said it was wrong. The higher law of humanity, which was the law of Christ and of Christian love, said that it was right to heal and do good on the -Sabbath day. In breaking the actual observance of law and custom Jesus revealed the higher law of life and truth. In Our Own Land The fact that we are face to face with serious problems of lawlessness and law enforcement in our own land has led many people, especially many good Christians, in recent years to face the whole question in a way that has obscured the reality of this principle that the law of conscience in its ultimate expression is above every other law. The obvious retort is that if this is so, what becomes of the state and of legal authority? If a man is free to disobserve any law that he does not like, or any law in which he does not believe, what are going to be the limits of this disregard of law, and how will any law retain its power and its sanctity? The reply is that when men are moved by highmindsdness, intelligence and conscience, unless the laws of the land are almost hopelessly wrong, there would be little disposition to disobey them. The great mass of disobedience to law today is not upon high conscientious ground. It is rather upon the ground of self-indulgence and personal preference. The fact of the matter is that there /can be no great citizenship where the element of conscience is neglected or weakened, and where the vast mass of citizens of a state are moved by that conscientious* conviction that would lead them to disobey a law that they believed to be morally or spiritually wrong there will be no danger of th(|

law and life of that state being weakened. Individual Daring Progress comes to the world through individual men daring, in behalf of vision and conscience, to disregard convention and custom, religiously and socially, where they believe that these things are lifeless and wrong. When the state passes, as it once did in England, laws that would make an ordinary prayer meeting in a home illegal, what can good Christians, who love their independence and their religious freedom do other than persist in worshiping God according to the dictates of their own conscience? The principle that a higher law runs through all of life is dangerous only for those who seek to pervert a great truth and wrest it to wrong purposes and results. A God-fearing nation will be a law abiding nation because such a nation will have, on the whole, laws that ought to be observed. It is a profound mistake to set the Lord Jesus, however, upon the side of mere formalism and complacency. He manifested in His earthly life the vigor and independence of the man who rebels against conventions and customs that have lost their vigor through losing their meaning and thenreality. It is life that is the supreme thing, and law is great and noble cnly as it ministers to life, as it enlarges for man and society the sphere of noble living and the highest welfare. Ft.
