WILL POWER IS A FACTOR IN PRACTICAL LIFE * Your ancestors may have voted wrong. Then gather yourself together and cast your vote for what is right. What takes an engine up Pike’s Peak? The steam? That is heredity. The guiding rails? That is environment. The purpose of the engineer? All is useless without that. Be the engineer of your own life! It must be remembered that heredity is not a unit. More than one ancestry is struggling within you! We are all of mixed blood—very mixed indeed, but more good than bad. You have two parents, four grandparents, eight great-grandpar-ents, sixteen great, great grandparents, thirty-two great, great, great grandparents and so on! Go back only ten generations and you accumulate 2,046 ancestors on the way. Probably most of these ancestors were fairly decent folks on the whole. Side with the best of them, then, and don’t disgrace them!

Weekly Sunday School Lesson

The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 27. Recreation in Community Life. Mark 2:18-28. BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The CongreKationalist THE general title for the lesson is “The Christian View of Recreation." It is largely under the influence of Christian leaders and welfare workers who have either been themselves actuated by Christian motives or who have been under Christian influence that the widespread movement for supervised recreation has developed in modern life. I have in mind at the moment a man now associated with an international movement for recreational and helpful activities for under privileged boys. I have followed the history and career of that man since the days when he was a pioneer in boys’ work, building up in the midst of much criticism and no small opposition one of the largest boys’ organizations in existence at that time, and transforming through the years of his work a section of the city that had been notable for youthful offenders into a district where police court activities were almost unknown. This man's motive and purpose arose directly from his Christian character and vision. He loved boys and devoted his life to them because he believed in the fatherhood of God and in the leadership of Jesus. Modem and Widespread It would be a great mistake to claim that all such activities have been directly Christian in origin and motive. There are many agencies for healthful recreational activity that have no direct or indirect connection with Christian auspices. I emphasize, however, the relationship of Christian activity today to the developed programs of recreation for the young and for the community life of many piece* because this is in many respects a v’evolopmcrt of Christian imprest that is as distinctly modern as it is widespread. There was probably little recreational activity of a modern sort in the time when our Lord was on earth and gave His teachings and example. The recreation of those days as it existed in city life followed more the lines of the brutal exhibitions in the arena. The play instincts of the people were v l '- perverted into these brutal and terrible exhibitions with which G. tians had probably nothing to do except in later years when as victims they were thrown to the lions. What is, however, significant about the teaching and example of Jesus is that He sat new valuations upon life and apparently encouraged His disciples and the masses in habits and attitude that are in har-

mony with the highest recreational ideals. A busy farmer once remarked to me how strange it was that so many people In the time of Christ seemed to have nothing to do but were willing to follow Him about in the fields and by the lakeside listening to what He had to say. Jesus, apparently, never rebuked those who thus came to hear Him. He never preached to them an ideal of hard work or told them that they ought to be off about their tasks. Instead of that He challenged the ordinary values which in the minds of many, then as today, have been associated with success. He called the man a “fool” who had attained such great prosperity that he needed to pull down his barns and build greater, but who had never taken into account the fact of the insecurity of life or had realized that that very night he might die and leave all these things that he had built up. He Inculcated in the minds of the people the gospel of rest, a gospel certainly of service and devotion and of fair-

i ness, man with man, but a gospel | that in its very essence is at the opposite of the scramble for wealth and power. We have never quite sufficiently taken into account the values that Jesus placed upon the varios phases and factors of life. We have never realized the extent to which even on the very lowest plane of life—the economic plane—Jesus was a master of common-sense. Economists of modern day have practically ignored life and death as factors. They have dealt with forces and statistics, with dollars and cents, ana the size of factories and mai chines: but they have paid relativei Iy little attention to the deeper faci tors of life which undoubtedly have ! laige economic value. The Question of the Sabbath Our lesson deals in a fundamental i way with these elemental matters of ! value. Jesus challenged customs and habits which the people were following without much thought of their real significance. He asked pertinently what the Sabbath was for, was it really a day of rest and relaxation, or was it an additional burden on dmen of demand and duty? So He challenged even the very nature of law, and pointed out that the function of law was to preserve life and to make it more glorious, not to curb and destroy life, Jesus never taught that the end justifies the means, but He did teach that means are of no value except as they are related to ends, and that it is the real purpose of life that determines its meaning and its practice from day to day.
