SOCIAL PATHOLOGY MS THE THEME

OF A PAPER READ BY THOMAS NEWLIN AT THE BIBLE INSTITUTE "Age of Daily Papers, But Papers Often Falsify Facts" Full Report of Meeting. The session at 2 p. m. was opened by sing-in? "Wonderful "Words of Life." Professor Russell gave his second study in the Life of Christ. The lesson began today with the ministry if Christ. It was only in in human history that Christ should have a forerunner. John called men to repentance, and as a sign of putting away their sins, washed them in Jordan. His preaching awakened great interest in all classes, so that some even questioned if he were not himself the Messiah. Jesus was just budding into manhood, when John came preaching in the valley of the Jordan. We have no account in Scripture of the developing years when he was pondering his Father's purposes cmv cerning himself. He made no claims. as Moses, told no dreams, as Joseph How much Jesus and John had been together we do not know. Jesus knew enough of John to wish to iden tify himself with liis movement. John knew enous'h of Jesus to feel that Jesus was his Superior. The coming of the Holy Spirit at the baptism of Jesus convinced John of his Messiahship. The temptations of Jesus were interim!. It was not a question whether he would do the will of ("Jod, but hi had to decide as we do, what the will of God is. Jesus re fused to use his power in ministry to himself, in feeding the sign-hunger of the age, or seek for himself world-dominion by the power of the sword. The temptation of Jesus was a real temptation. And so he is able to succor those who are tempted because he has faced temptation, wrestled with it and overcome it. John's testimony to Jesus uttered to his own disciples, caused them to follow Jesus. The first miracle of Jesus was wrought to prevent the festivities of a wedding from coming to a too early end. The life of Jesu? was social. He was reviled as a irlutton and a wine-bibber, by his enemies. The lesson that Jesus taught to Xieodemus was not in vain for after Jesus' death he openly avowed himself as His disciple. With the imprisonment of John, Jesus' public ministry began. At 3 p. m. Thomas Newlin read a paper on "Social Pathology." The problem with every Christian is how to make better his part of the world. It is a diseased condition he finds in the world everywhere. The most characteristic work the church is doing today is her mission work. She is bringing light to men in ten thousand ways. The most striking of the social evils of the world is the home and tha family. The worst symptoms of social path; ology is found in our divorce courts. Poverty and scarcity of the means of living form another symptom of social pathology. The temperan'-e problem is closely related to our subject. Men and women need to be trained to the art of home-making. In all social work, there must be adaptation to environment. When there is typhoid fever in a i eiffW'.orhood it is not wise to spend all our forces in caring for the sick. The sources of the disease must be sought for and removed The age we live in is the age of the d.vly paper; but the papers oen falsify the facts. There is also a kind of religious reading that is read sometimes more than the authorised Christian publications. And they lead into criticism and fanaticism. Much good might come to our church by studying the social problems of our times. The Five Year Meetings might prepare a list of useful books on the subject. Tbe monthly meetings might appoint committee on social questions, who could help to create an interest : x, 1: 1111 KUCil BIUU1C3. Our ministers might interest them

selves and thus interest meetings in

the social questions. Their meetings must be socialized if they are to do what is expected of them. We should always remember that formative efforts are of vastly more value m character forming than any reformation can do; but we must make local application to cure the pain of a hurt already made. Triday Evening. At S p. m. the session was opened by singing ' ' Work for the Night is Coming. ' ' Prayer was offered by Benjamin Hutchins, and Emma Hill Hadley sang a solo. A study of "the Pharisees," by Professor Shailer Mathews, was next on the program. Jesus did not live in America, or in the twentieth century. He was not not a voter; he had no experience of political freedom. He lived under social conditions quite different from our own. In studying any historical character it is important to know the surI'oundings of which he formed an organic part. This is much more true of the study of the life of Jesus. Jesus was not a school man. He did not teach a class in a college. The most of his teaching was called forth by the opposition of-he PharThe Pharisees were not a political party, but a religious one. There are plenty of Pharisees now; they are good people, but hard to get along with, because they attempt to reform other people instead of them selves. Phariseeism had its origin in the time of Ezra; when men began to study the law as statutes. On account of the unreliability of the au thorities we have it is difficult to con struct a history of the- time from 300 B. C. to 165. In the second century before Christ, Judea, at the same time Rome was becoming Greekized, came under the influence of Greek culture, and the aristocracy of Judea became mad to be Greek. The Jews were the only people on the shore of the Mediterranean who were not polythesists. To become subjected to Greek cul ture was to become polytheists. And Judaism was saved from polytheism bv a band of resolute men who refused to adict either polytheism or Greek culture. Thus originated the Pharisees, who were a band of reformers, some po litical and some religious, patriotic and pious, and yet not very kind to the Saducees, for instance. Thev bad a reputation for piety to sustain, in order to hold their influence. The Pharisees were exceedingly legal; they had law for everything. They had a complete classification of conduct, leaving no one in doubt as to what must be done and what not done. A man could be pious and at the same time a rascal if he did not get caught at his rascality. It was into conflict with this people with their dead legalism, that Jesus came with His doctrine of life, and when He drove the merchants from their trade in the temple, it was a most powerful system of "graft" that He attacked. It is a strange fact that at the coming of Jesus, the high priesthood was in the hands of the irreligious Saducees. Friday Morning. The meeting for worship at 8 a. m. was led by Robert Douglass, and the subject was "The Love of God for His Church." The session at 9 was opened; by singing, "I Love to Tell the Story." Thomas Newlin then gave the first of his social studies, the subject being, "Social Idealism." Many social reformers ignore the church. This is particularly unfortunate, and something needs to be done to enable the church to reach society. The Christian is a man with an ideal. Christianity must realize itself in the world or make a failure. Holiness is personal, wholeness is social. Self-sacrifice must be for the sake of society. It ought not to be self-effacement. It ought to be selfrealization. The high and holy purpose of every church ought to be to make a so ciety of men like Christ. A fully social religion will be both intellectual and emotional. The value of an organization does not depend on its members, but on its contribution of that which is the highest and best. Each age has made its contribution to its own time and to the future. Society by it organization forms a unity. But the unity is no sooner formed than progress comes and calls for separation. The revival which came into our own church thirty years ago came in obedience to the laws of sociology. In any society only the few are inventive, the majority are initiative. Christ was in the social movement of his own day, and we believe His spirit is in the social movement o

our day.

The three greatest questions that concerns us are these: First, the relation of the races of mankind. Second, The social relations of the people, and third, International Relations The church has taken up the first problem in her Foreign Missions. The second and third have been left too much to the commercial interests. The church ought to be more socialized. The family is a miniature society. There the children learn the meaning of mine and thine. A properly socialized home will know how to care for its waste. The church will not take the side of either capital or labor, but of jus tice. Neither labor or capital is properly socialized, both are individual. The present organization of society resembles the Ferris wheel when some go up others go down. The human heart needs to be socialized. The session at 10 a. m. was opened uy singing . kJwcct iiuui ui x iojci. Shailer Mathews was then intro duced and gave his address on "Why We Should Have Sunday Schools." The 'Sunday school is in theory an integral part of the church, not an independent entity. In practice, unfor tunately, this is sometimes forgotten. The function of the Sunday school is to teach us something. Saints are to be grown, not made like bricks in a mould. And we .need to make use of spiritual influences, according to the laws of spiritual growth. The Sunday school performs its function in proportion as it brings men to know the word of God. A second reason why we need the Sunday school is because we do not have religious instruction in the secular school and do not have it much in the home. The Sunday school has become the residuary legatee of the church and the home. A third reason for needing the Sunday school, is the fact that the church does not instruct in religion. The congregations have got to desire to be entertained, and so the preacher reserves his instruction for the Sunday school. The Sunday school catches them young and gives them a religious apperception to which the preacher must appeal. The vicarious tenth that does the work of society has been brought into contact with the church. 4. We need the Sunday school to leaven society in its youth. We can get the children to come to Sunday school. We can not get grown up men to come to church unless they have been in the Sunday school. We ought to have as much enthusiasm for the Sunday school as we do for the day school and we ought to get the best teaching we possibly can. The attendance at the institute is increasing from day to day. The address by Ira Landrith on "Religious Education," was heard with great interest, and unbounded approval. Prof. Shailer Mathews of Chicago University has begun his series of valuable talks. He spoke last night on "The Pharisees," and will speak tonight on "The Literature of New Testament Times. The public is cordially invited to; attend both the day and the evening Mssions. (Continued on last page.) Nothing but selected raw materials used in Ideal flavor. ' ' Bread.
