World Planning Lesson for October 4, 1953

THExman who invented the word "Utopia" knew what he was doing. Sir Thomas More first used the name as the title of a book In which he described the island of Utopia, a place where everything is perfect—climate, laws, schools, people, everything. But Sir Thomas was having his little joke, for "Utopia" comes from two Greek words meaning No Place. He knew there is no real place m this world where everything is perfect; being a saint and a sensible man he suspected there never would be. No Christian has ever expected to see a perfect world this side of heaven. • • • Why Christians Plan Nevertheless. Sir Thomas Moro lived an active life, working hard

to make the England of his day more like the Utopia of his dreams — or rather. more like the heaven of which Utopia might have been a sqburb For. he was a Christian. and Christians. at their best, do plan for a bet-

ter world Christians at their worst do not. At their worst, Christians either accept the world as it is and imitate it. or even defend it against all critics: or they run away from it. shutting themselves away from it. leaving it to dirt, disease and the devil. <lt might be asked, are such persons Christian at all’ That is another question » Almost all Christians plan on a small scale Most of us live in a rather small world, and in the tiny world of our daily life we like to make plans that are Christian In the home, for example: an unplanned home, higgledy-piggledy, with everything tn a continual uproar, is not the kind of home we want to Uve in. Christian young people plan to make their marriage and their home as near like heaven as they can—and that takes planning and hard work too. • • •. Widening Circles Are we of today better Christians than our ancestors were? John Baillie asks the question it) his ‘ The Belief in Progress " His answer is No. if you mean by the question: Are Christians today more devoted, more saintly, than eight or eighteen centuries ago* If we have advanced beyond our forefathers, it is not in being better men persivially. But John Baillie thinks, and it is a thought worth pondering, that we can and sometimes do have a wider jyiew of the area of Christian action. Let us ask the question -Are we cleaner than our ancestors were' No, if. you mean devotion to the ideal of "cleanliness next to Godliness " But while the citizen of 1800 was personally as clean as the soap of those days would, permit, his kitch en and his streets and hu water supply were not clean by our standards Now planning for cleanliness includes such things as mosquito extermination and bonds for a sewer system So it is with Christian planning If you want to keep your home Christian you will need to do some thinking about all those wider circles that affect the home; schools, government business life, war and peace • • • Suppose We Don't Plan? -A Christian who wants a Christian home but will not join nor work in his local P T A. is missing one of his best chances to work toward the home he wants If you want a Christian home and take no interest in politics, you may by your‘very neglect be turn ihg. over the control of your community to crooks and exposing youfxchildren to the kind of community that crooks operate If you want a Christian home but think that government Is no concern of yours, you may find your congressman voting for measures and policies that produce or hasten war, and you know very well that gear can break up homes faster and more painfully than any other thing unless it is liquor. We must never forget that the devil is planning all the time, and his benchmen are planning. If Christians do not do some counterplanning. we are fools. Furthermore and most important, we must remember that God has a plan for this world which he made and loves and has not forsaken. The Bible gives us the lines along which God’s servants have always wqfked 4 •■llt»«<i ♦•arrtthua Wy Ik. DlvtalM at Ckrtvttaa ESaeaUaa. N»Uaaal CaeaaS al tfc. CharcMaa at Ctrtot la tba V S. A.
