ARE we agreed that Christian! ought to plan ahead for a better world? Are we agreed that the foundation of a better world is Jesus Christ and Christlike persons? Then we can go on with the next question, a very practical one. What exactly can God's “new men" do to leave this world better than they found it? Granted, we shall never see an ideal world this side of heaven; granted, we shall be imperfect persons as long as we live in this world. It is still possible—more than that, it is imperative. a “Must."—for Christians to work and plan in the direction of the world of God's ideal. • • • Salt And Light The first thing we can do. odd as it may sound, is not to do anything. but to be something. Jesus spoke to his disciples—and to us—

in terms of salt and light Now salt and light do not do anything, or rather what they do depends entirely on their being what they are If salt could change its mind and decide to be pepper or sand, no cook would want it. If

Dr. Foreman

an electric light could change itself into a doorknob, it would cause no > end of trouble. The salt doesn't rush around -ra th r.:: it just' is salt the ’.i.;:t is and light are alike in thrs there ; is no real substitute for either < tie*So there is no- substitute for real * Christians in this world They are j alike also in that they do whatever good they do, by contact Salt m a j shaker, light in a steel box aFv of no use So the Christian to be of use in the world must not shrink from contact with it Furthermore, salt and light are alike m that they must not be : too prominent. No one cares for over-salted food or glaring lights So a Christian who is like a Phan- ; see. wearing his virtues on his chest like -a string of medals, is a nuisance to all concerned. But still it is true that the first and most constant service which every Christian can render in this confused sad world, is simply to be as good a Christian, as faithful a representative and servant of Jesus Christ he can possibly be. • • • Helping Others Another th.ng that God s new men can do. a thing which can remake the world and in 'many re- i apects has been re-making it.—a thing that sounds simple but which calls for a great deal of thought and planning, is this: just helping other people The New Testament makes it quite clear that an un-helpful Christian is hardly a real Christian at all. Naturally, not all Christians have the same opportunities A little girt just entering the first grade can help her classmates and the teacher; but the teacher if she is a good one. can help all the class even more. The principal of the school, by selecting good teachers. can by his skill in judging people help every pupil in the school The members of the school board by picking good principals can help the whole school system. A boy on a farm in Missouri does not have the same opportunity tp be helpful that he would have if he had been appointed Secretary of State But a Christian. I whether his lone of operations is a farm or the world, can always find ways of “gouig about doing good" as the Master did. s- • • • Winning Others There is one thing that most Christians do not do. which—if I they only went at it with any en- I thusiasm—would spread their light | farther than any other one thing » (We bear in mind that if a Christian has any light, it is because | Christ shines through him.) If it is true that the “better world." even if only a little, better, can come to pass only as personalities are changed into the likeness of Christ, then the best thing a Christian ban do toward a better world I is to win others to his own Saviour. Saint Paul no doubt was helpful to others by the tents he made, for we can scarcely imagine him turning out shoddy or bungled work. He was more helpful still by ••growing in grace” and shining as a true Christian character. But was there any service he performed which meant as much to him. tn satisfaction, or to the world, by way of improvement, as the service he rendered in winning men from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light* (less 8 •• •■4tta*« ••arrisU*4 by tfc* Blrtdo 9t Chrtattaa kSaaaUea.
