Golden text: “Thou shalt love lhygllel(hbor as thyeelf.”—Lev. 1918, BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. Statesmen are assembled in confer- |ences at Lausanne and Washington seeking to solve the problems of mod- {]iern society. History records the efforts made in nearly every by i|| philosophers, economists, statesmen ||| ana sociologists to improve the con- ditions of humanity. In our lesson for this week we have the solution of all of the problems of soclety. No person has ever contributed more con- cerning the principles, practices and problems of humanity than Jesus did in the few words contained in our study for this week. It furnisl the answer to every question of soclety and states the principle that ought ‘l‘o f" ern all the affairs of men and ation: Master’'s contribution of His match- 1ess parable that summed up In & few words His program for soclety.

The hostile Pharisees were hound- ing the Lord, and the effort of the lawyer, whose duty was altogether different than that of & modern law yer, to draw the Master into a debate, with the hope of entangling Him, wa: & part of their program to destroy the prestige and power of Jesus with men. His questions proved that théy had selected one of their ablest men, Wwho was a past master in the art of questioning men. Diplomatically the lawyer addressed Jesus as “Teacher,’ but he did not deceive the Christ, who detected his insincerity in his ad- dress and question as to how he could obtain “eternal life.” If he had been sincere, like the rich young man who asked Jesus a similar question, the Master would have given him & direct answer. The Lord appeared to have fallen into the snare. when He ai swered the question with another on that gave the lawyer opportunity to reveal his knowledge of the Scrip- tures, when Jesus asked, "How read- est thou?' Some have suggested that Christ guided him by a series of questions, which are not recorded, to unite the detached portions of Scriptures taken from Deutronomy 6.5 and Leviticus 19.18, in his answer. While possibly correct, yet there exists enough prol ability to favor the view that Jesus knew that the lawyer wou d 1o reply as he did if he Do tn the teachings of the Scriptures.

In an effort to justify himself he immediately seized upon the anly word fn his summary that called for an interpretation and asked one of the greatest social questions of the “Who is my neighbor?’ Al- though the lawyer was without doubt & high type of Jewish thinker, he ap- parently realized by the Master's ap- proval and advice that he should do what the law taught that there was a wide difference between Christ conception of social obligations and nls own. Probably all the Jews of that time considered a meighbor from the standpoint of nearness of jrezion. race and religion. A n bor to them was largely a person of Hebrew speech and sympathy.

He lifted the i barriers of country and creed as He | traced from the germinal principle of | the 1aw the fundamental principle of jhuman brotherhood, which is the i foundation of many of our modern { fraternities and charitles. | He painted the spirit of injustice | that robs men, not only on the Jericho {road, but in’ excessive charges for { food. fuel and the necessities of life. i Public spirit condemns and would put {in prison men for practicing in com- |mercial life today rebates, in refe {ence to freights, that were once co! sidered legitimate. The writer re- icalls a battle that was fought in the {early days of the world war between the army of the Turkish empire and the Arabs for the possession of the latter’s camels near the hill of the robbers on the road going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, a short dis- tance from the traditional site of the Good Samaritan inn. The Arabs con- sidered that the soldiers were rob- bers. It brought k vividly the Master's story. Jesus would oppose all forms of injustice that cheat and defraud men of their rights and prop- erty. There are too many men in the world today, and some nations, whose attitude toward their neighbor is that of soclal injustice, waich is antago- nistic to love. Wo would never per- form an injustice if all our actions were controlled by love. In the conduct of the priest and Levite we see a apirit of cold indiffer- ence. These men, who had completed their religious duties, were on their way home, going down from Jeru- salem to Jericho, where many con- nected Wwith the ‘temple had homes: These men, who had been consecrated to help and aid the poor and weak, saw the poor man’s need and, for rea- sons not stated, passed by on the other side. While no word of con- demnation escaped the 1ips of Christ, the world has long since condemned them for their spirit of indifference. “They have .been rightly coupled ever since.” says Fosdick, “with the robbers, as supporters of wrong in the worl Jesus condemns all who do not take their stand with Him in the battles for the control of society that He is fighting, as the friend of humanity, with Satan. If we try to be neutral in the conflict between God and evil and f-.uhw take sid for the good and true, by trying to neutral, we will be ranked with the priest and Levite who were indifterent to thelr social obligation. It was a bold thing for Jesus In that hour to take and place in contrast with the indifference of the two religious servants of the temple the despised Samaritan, who, although the man probably was a Jew, did not hesltate to recognize his obligation to the poor and unfortunate victim of looked for criticism, but the Master's He, with the ins s man, made & survey condition. Although there social and religious division the Jews and aritan, the of the ouunf.fl sect and ry the Sam cause he not only recognized his per- sonal gocial obligation, but responded with a personal service, that has been the inspiration of much of the good performed by the fraternities of the Wi orld. i The Samari expended his own wine as he preesed his flask to the lips of the wounded in an effort to yrevive him and took the oil, which he carried for his food, and poured It into the wounds and bound them up with the skill of a surgeon. When orts had revived the wounded sufferer, he placed him on the back “of his own beast, brought him to the inn and took care of him.” He not only rendered personal service, but he |nllo generously provided for his keep and car He must have been well {known to “the inkeeper, who ac: cepted his guarantee that the cost of caring for the stranger would be met by him on his return. Although the lawyer did not mention the hated name, Samaritan, he gave him credit for showing mercy and as being the true neighbor. Ohrist calis for us to carry the spirit and not the method of the Samaritan Into our social life. He puts His stamp of approval upon that kind of philanthropy that does not attempt to substitute social service for religious duty. The true philan- thropist is one who out of love for God proves his love for his brother men by love and service. Jesus saw that in love there was a universal solvent that would prove the panacea for every earthly woe and {1l condi- tion of society. “He came not to be ministered unto, but to give His life a ransom for many.” If we have the mind of Christ in us we will com- munlicate His spirit of love, that was seen In the “Good Samaritan,” to the world in a life devoted to help hu manity and remove the spirit of prej- udice and hatred from the hearts of TLE STORIES lir /S BEDTIME Paddy and Mrs. Paddy Make the Best of a Bad Matter.

Matter enough!” replied Paddy. “Don’t you see that pig-headed nuisance blocking iour way over the dam?" Mrs. Paddy looked up and for the first time saw Prickly Porky sitting right where they must haul those logs over the dam. “Have vou asked him to move?" inquired Mrs. Paddy. “Of course, 1 have. asked him to mo him how necessary it is that we ishould get these logs over the dam and down to our food pile as soon as possible. He doesn't pay any more attention to me than as If I were a stick or a stone.” Then Mrs. Paddy tried. The result was just the same. You see Prickly Porky was so pig-headed that just because they wanted him to move he didn’t want to move, and wouldn’t move. All his life he had done just as he had wanted & do, and not as others had wanted him to do. At last Paddy started to drag a log over the dam at a point further along. It was not a good place and when he got the log over it did not fall in the Laughing Brook. but had to be dragged there He left {t to float down the Laughing Brook and went back to help Mrs. Paddy get her log over. But Mrs. Paddy had been | the -robbers. ncts of a busi: | | | going wrong right, T've not only but explained to “It 13 too hard work and it takes too long to drag the logs over the way you took that one. Prickly Porky isn't going to stay here forever.” The thing for to do is to get all the logs and branches we have cut down here to the dam and leave them.

In that way we will lose no time.” 'You are right, my dear. You are right—just as you usually are,” re- plied Pada: “I hate to give In to that fellow, but time is precious and we cannot afford to waste it. Come on.” Paddy started swimming for the other end of the pond, where they had been cutting trees, and Mrs. Paddy followed. They each brought 2 log down and left it against the dam at the point where it was to be carried over. '"*hen they went back for mors ck and forth. back and forth, they traveled, and all the time Prickly Porky remained right where was and gnawed the bark from a stick, just as if that was the only important thing to be done in all the Great World.
