W« owe a great deal to our mother-re-ligion, the religion of the ancient Hebrews Two of the characteristic strong points of that religion are ours too: one is that religion has everything to do with our everyday life, and the other is that society ’that is. the persons who make up society) has a sacred duty to .care for the weak and | friendless. Nbw in ancient times

the most helpless people in the community were the widows, the orphans and the ‘'sojourners.'' that is to say. migrants, people without land or family, uprooted and displaced persons. Widows had very

little chance at a I>r Foreman living except by almost slave-la-bor. orphans even less; and as for the sojourner, in most places in those days even his life was in danger If anybody starved m an ancient city, it would be the sojourner first, then the widows and orphans An Ancient “Poor-law” The Hebrews were taught ,£are- I fully, from Moses’ lime onward. • that God loved these helpless per- I sons, widows, orphans and so- I Journers; and the Hebrews were I commanded to take care of them. > Something can be learned from a study of the ancient, laws protecting these poor persons, laws which the Hebrews believed, and so can we. that God himself inspired They are not laws which we can copy unchanged, for conditions of life and work have changed. But the spirit of them is as fresh and as needed today as three thousand years ago Consider this from Deuteronomy: Love the sojourner therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt " There is a certain rich man in America whom we may call Mr X.

boy. an immigrant son of very poor parents Had he stayed in the old country, he himself thinks he would have had to live and die at his frther’s ill-paid trade. In America’s freedom, however, this boy rose to riches and honor, and is now a man who loves to talk of the “American dream" and of how he himself is an example of it. But what does Mr. X think of encouraging others at this present time to come over and try the American dream for themselves” He is opposed to it. He wants no more immigrants. He is glad the door was open to himself; he wants it closed now for good. But he does not stand alone; he gets re-elected to congress by several thousand other Americans who do not love the sojourner. "Love the Mjoumer” means have a concern for migrant workers, for displaced persons, for immigrants, for oppressed minorities. America can hardly call itself a Christian nation unless it takes such laws of God more seriously. , Helping Men To Help Themselves Another and more particular law is found m Leviticus 19. where the farmer of those days is forbidden to harvest either his wheat-field or his grape-vineyards clean He must always leave some wheat unfathered. some vines untouched. We see how this worked in the case of Ruth who would have starved had she not had the chance to glean (pick up those stray sheaves) in the fields of Bethlehem This is not a law we can copy right on to our statute books; but we may well copy it* spirit and intention First there is a real concern for the man at the bottom of the ladder. Then there is given him an opportunity to work for his own living Wheat and grapes are not delivered to his door; he has to get out and work for his food But the point is that he is helped I by being enabled to help himself. WTfnger Around The World In the time of and of Jesus, indeed till most recent times, our neighbors, those whom we could help, were those whom we could see. within walking distance of our homes No doubt there were famines in India, floods in Japan, while Jesus was living But he never said a word about aid to India, because in the first place the Galileans themselves 1 ved on the edge of starvation, and in the second place if they had had a million tons of surplus wheat they could never have reached India with a quart of it In our day the world is smaller.

Church Barlor. Friends of the group are invited. If you have no deAnite church home we invite you to Fellowship with us and share in MEDITATION There is need for reality in Religion. Jesus addressed His disciples on that score. Our age is much concerned with putting things on the outside, but slow about inward values. In observing the trends of the day we are going the attractive way. Things that He on the surface seems more important than that w-hich lies at the center. But what about the dignity of the individual. and the worth of personality. Jesus speaking to a multitude out on the hillside, spoke of things which men must live by if a new world is to be borne. He saw their concern about eating, clothing and Social enjoyment. He warned them of external values. “Seek ye first the kingdom bf God." The Lord would have His disciples know that there is a cross to be borne, a battle to be fought, a race to be run. a work to be done, and many things to be endured. Jesus had no confidence in him who hadn’t counted the cost. Crowds did not deceive Him. We live in an age when people get mixed up with workdays and Sundays, and who want things the easy way. There arc Christians who look fine in a. parade when things are going good, and cheering exciting and flags flying, but when things lose clamor fall out of the ranks.—*• Luke Calvary Evangelical United Brethren Church K E Foulke, pastor.
