lowing from the Bible: “The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way, but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them, but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness” (Prov. 11: 3,5, 6). The lesson-sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy: “We can not escape the penalty due for sin. ...

Christ Drew But One Picture of the Judgment ZhRIST pictured men condemned because they had not ministered to their fellows, and others were rewarded because in serving humanity they served Christ. • It should be clear enough, therefore, that man best serves God by serving his fellows. If this be true, charities of every nature are the peculiar province of the church. It is answered that the Church has not the money to handle these matters. Certainly it has not. It never will have until it adopts God’s reasonable plan, and it never will have until it follows in Christ’s footsteps and goes about doing good. , If every professing Christian paid a tenth of his earnings into the Church and the hungry, the sick, the maimed and the

homeless could appeal to the Church and be served at once in the name of Jesus. How long, do you think, before the world would be won to a religion—vital and real?

Sunday School Lesson

Th International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Nov. 3. Making Effective the Will of the Community. Mark 12:13-17; Rom. 13:1-7: I Peter 2:13-16. . BY WM. E. GILROY, D, D. . Editor of The Congregationalist THE general title of this lesson is “Respect for Rightful Authority.” It is the World’s Temperance Lesson, and it has evidently been chosen with reference to the problem of lats which is confronted everywhere in dealing with the liquor traffic, but which is particularly emphasized at the present day in America. The fact that in this country the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor is prohibited by law and the Cohstitution has not as yet eliminated the need for personal attitudes and the exercise of personal will in relation to the actual matter of liquor drinking. Those who lay great stress on education and the voluntary practice of total abstinence, as against the exercise of law in dealing with the liquor problem, overlook the fact that there is still a field for education, and voluntary total abstinence has lost nothing of its practical value. The Will Still Rules It Is still possible for one voluntarily to abstain from intoxicating liquor, and the fact that such abstinence is in harmony with the spirit of the law does not in any way lessen the value of voluntary action.

The passing of such drastic measures as prohibition emphasizes various aspects of the problem of maintaining law in a democracy and the questions concerning the relation of individual liberty and conscience to the state. It ought to be recognized by all, whether they believe in prohibition or not, that it is a dfastic measure. Any law that interferes with the habits and customs of a large part of people in the community is drastic, even if be upon that ancient, yet modern drama, “Job.” At the Community Christian church, the Rev. A. V. Noble will speak in the morning on “The Door,” and at night, “The Lasting Quality.” Monday night at 7:30 o’clock, the Rev. G. J. Daniel of Plainfield will be in charge. On Wednesday night, the University place gospel team will be in charge and on Friday night the Rev. O. A. Trinkle of the Englewood church. At the Emmanuel Baptist church the minister, the Rev. J. Drover Forward, will speak in the morning on “A God Who Sees.” • His evening theme will be “A Woman-Made Religion.”

those habits and customs should be indefensible and socially harmful. What many who oppose prohibition because it is so drastic overlook is that all law is drastie and much of the legislation of the statute books is exactly of the same nature as prohibition—the rigorous interference and activity of law to correct social abuses and to further the general welfare. How Is Liberty Affected? The ultimate question that ought to be asked concerning every law in a democracy is the simple question whether in the last analysis and in its ultimate effect it makes for more liberty or less. As one wher strongly favors the continuance of what President Hoover has rightly called “a noble experiment,” I am convinced that the future of prohibition must ultimately be decided upon the soundness or unsoundness of the claim that it has made for more liberty for all. The days of legalized drinking may have established more liberty for men only; but when one takes into account all in the community, men, women, and children, it is an interesting thing to consider fairly whether even drastic laws that seem superficially to interfere with personal liberties hqve not been instrumental in establishing larger liberty for all. It is difficult to discuss such a lesson as we have here without reference to these backgrounds and problems of life today. These are the things that bring before us the same sort of questions that people brought to Jesus and to Paul for decision.

Have Authority Backing The three passages in our lesson from Mark, Romans and I Peter all strongly uphold the authority of the state; but.it would be easy to show from the New Testament that this authority was upheld only where it did not conflict with some higher authority or truth or righteousness. Paul, in his later years, was by no means so sure that the powers that be were ordained of God. He saw, on the contrary, a spirit of wickedness working in high places. On one occasion, also, when Pc-ter was charged with doing things that were unlawful, his reply was: “We ought to obey God rather than men.” What we should bear in mind, however, is that law and order are never endangered by the man who acts from a high sense of his obligation to God. Selfish Lawlessness There is a lawlessness that is beneath the law, destructive, selfish, scornful of authority and discipline. Such lawlessness can find no pos-

PAGE 7

sible justification in the realm of conscience. The men who have disobeyed laws for conscience’ sake are on an entirely different plane. It should always be remembered, also, that the great ehd of society is not law, but through law and every other constructive agency to build up a society of citizens whose personal acts and relationships with one another are such that if there were no law at aIL the life of society would be ideal. The end and purpose of law in society is to establish that well disciplined life which requires no law. j SCHALL IS CONFIDENT HE'LL BE RE-ELECTED Minnesota Senator Believes Party Will Back Him. Bn United Preaa WASHINGTON Nov. 2— Senator Thomas D. Schall, Republican of Minnesota, who comes up for reelection next fall, does not believe that regular Republican forces are opposing him specifically in his fight for renominaticn. as does Senator Norris of Nebraska. There is a strong element of the Republican party in Minnesota which will seek the nomination for Governor Theodore Christianson, Schall said. He doubts that former Representative Walter Newton, now secretary to President Hoover, will seek the senatorial nomination. This story, however, continually is being heard in Washington as well as in Minnesota. It is known .that Newton wishes to run for.the senate some time, end to await the contest with Shipstead six ' years hence may not suit his pleasure.

It is said that the prince has a horror of getting fat and there is no more religious advocate of the “daily dozen.” 'Something* in the Air Bv United Preaa ■■ : . .> MADISON, Wis., Nov. 2.—There’s something in the air up north.
