RECOGNIZING OUR DEBTS ‘TO OTHERS. Nehemiah, iv.15-23; Mark, x11.28- 34; Romans, xv.1-7; Philippians, 111-8; Colossians, 1il.12, 1iv.1; James, 1.14-17. Golden Text.—Not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others.—Philippians, #.4. Ramsay MacDonald'’s visit to Wash- ington marks more than an epoch in the diplomatic relations of Ameri with the British government. It shows how the gospel of Jesus Christ has pen- etrated into the national and interna- tional affalrs of the world, due to the | fact that our generation has recognized | tne social side of Christianity. Its gos. pel of salvation has an appeal to the | individual, but in considerng the so- cial application of Christ's teachings, men have been approaching the gospel from a new angle. During the coming quarter we shall consider a series of studies that will call for our taking up some of the social teachings of the Bible that will help us to recognize our debt to others. In the recent series of lessons taken from the Old Testament we were com- pelled to face many modern and prac- tical applications of the fundamental principles, that we were studying, to the uplifting of social life of all man- «ind. The imporiance of the present series, which will not be a complete and comprehensive sesies of the social teachings of the Bible, has been stated by the committee who selected the les- sons that it was “the aim of these studies to help guide us” into an un- derstanding of Bible teaching on some social relationships with a view to the establishing of right habits and atti- tudes in dealing with others. Science has made the world smaller. ‘The radio, wireless, telephone, aviation and the press are all bringing us to realize our close relationship with other lands. If we have progressed to the extent that we are recognizing the unity that binds the English-speaking nations and their mutual obligations to promote the spirit of peace and brotherhood, based upon mutual understanding, ap- preciation, love for all and the duty of the stronger nations to help the weaker, we have reached the moment for considering the practical applica- tion of this week's lesson. Religion shares a prominent place in the de- velopment of civilization, which begins “first in the soul of man and works itself out in institutions and great ma- terial accomplishments.” ~While men have differed about their interpretations of religion. it gives us the master prin- ciple upon which rests the salvation not only of the individual. but also of soclety. A people’s religion “is the vital and determinative principle of their civilization.” Co-operation and Brotherhood. Co-operation is one of the messages that the experience of Nehemiah taught us. When the nation was menaced by dangers that threatened its extinction, Nehemiah appeared in Jerusalem and aroused his brothers to attempt a co- operative effort that resulted in their rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem and | re-establishing the worship of Jehovah. de did this by appealing to their ties| of race and religion. The Bible is filled | with social messages, but two of the greatest teachings that relate to our social obligations were taught the world by the Lord when His enemies were trying to ensnare Him with their ques- tions. Brotherhood is the great construc- tive principle of the new order. Not until men recognize the fact of the teachings of brotherhood and shape their life accordingly can there be de- | veloped the permanent social order for which we pray and seek. Jesus took two passages from the Old Testament and | gave them a new force and unforget ble meaning. The confession of the ob- | ligation to love God called for affection, reverence and obedience to Him. Jesus taught us that we should have the titude of sons toward God, whome H revealed to men as Father. This is'the | starting point of the principle of brotherhood and one of the greatest of modern needs is the rediscovery of God as Father by men of every race and faith, When we love God as Father it is easy to love men as our brothers, which’will help us develop a civilization based upon love. Not until we develop the spirit of love toward God as our Father and to men as our brothers can we expect to build a civilization that is stable and permanent. Successful co- % | operation depends upon_the recogni- tion and observance of the obligations man holds to God and his fellows. “Brotherh is the master principle upon which all associated life rests, and in the application of which mankind’s to be achieved.” Secial Service. Christianity is so intensely social that Flint claims that the germs of modern socialism of every kind are found in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Paul, who was the greatest interpreter of the Master’s teachings, in his letter to the Romans, made a social application of the Gospel by insisting that the strong should bear the infirmities of the weak. ‘This principle he used in solving some of the social questions that had.de- velepoae in the Church over the use of food and drink. It contains the prin- welfare is ciple that is the basis of the coming| conference between President Hoover and Ramsay MacDonald. It will solve ou* temperance problem, when applied in_the spirit, of love. B 1In his leftér to the first church, that grew out of his missionary work in Eu- rope, the ambassador to the Gentiles exhorted them to exercise the spirit of brotherhood and fellowship by being sympathetic, humble and demonst: ir love® for one another not every man on his own things, bul every man also on the things of others.” Love prohibits our thinking of self first and forgetting the rights of others. I sounds the note of brotherhood that de- mands that every employer should con- sider the condition and needs of his employes. Patriots have to other lands besides their own, as we may be sure that President Hoover and Ramsay MacDonald will in their cone ference that seeks to bind England and America in an effort to promote peace :‘Zu good will among all men and na- ns. We are asked to consider two verses from Paul's Epistle to the Colossians that are full of the social gospel that the Lord taught in his parable of the Good Samaritan. As followers of the Christ they were urged by him to ex- ercise a spirit of tender-heartedness, kindness, humbleness, meekness, long- suffering, forbearing and forgiving one another. If the world were practicing today these principles—yes, if the pro- fessed Christians practiced them—the new era of brotherhood and a civiliza- tion of peace and good will would soon become & reality in the world. In the economic and industrial world we would find justice and equality, all realizing that we have One above who will ren- der unto us according to that way we have treated our fellow men. James, who was the oldest brother of the Lord and the first pastor of the Jerusalem Church, taught that every Christian would demonstrate his faith by his social activities, insisting that faith without works was dead. He em- phasized the humanitarian part of the Eospel‘ that called for generous giving nd sharing with one another of cloth- ing, food and the daily needs of life. Our coming quarter's study will help us realize our debt “to the Greeks and the barbarians; both to the wise and to the unwise.” These studies should aid us to become sympathetic students of the modern social, economic, national and international problems from the standpoint of the Lord Jesus and aid us to contribute our part in their solution. ‘MEN WHO DARE,’ IS TOPIC. “Men Who Dare” will be the sermon theme of Dr. Frederic, W.
