President Men There are plenty ot Christlans who put on their Christianity on Sundays along with thelr silk hats and their frocK coats. 1- is a part of their fine feathers. Now, this is exactljy the thing that it seems to me Christ never intended his teachings to result in. He did not lay down laws for only one-seve time. He did not teach beauti for us to follow when we e, when the following of them does not in- terfere with our “real” business cerns. If the teachings of Christ are good for Sunday, then they are good for every one of the seven days of the week, and they will not wear out, either, iIf we use them constantly. That is where they differ from the hat and the coat. In- stead of growing threadbare with use they will improve, growing better for their steady application. The thing to be considered is this: Can- not ordinary business affairs be carried on in accordance with all the rules of Christlanity? Cannot a man carry his Sunday goodness into his shop or office the other six days? Cannot he prosper, make money, be successful in a worldly way, and still live up to the highest ideals of honor? Cannot he be a true Christian in his home, in his relations with friends and family? It was because these questions aross In the minds of some young men of Oak- land that the Men's Sunday Club Las been formed. An outline of its aims is given In a statement made by Owen Hotle, pastor of the Eighth-avenue Meth- odist Church. “In an invitation sent out by a self- appointed committee of flve men repre- senting as many callings the men of East Oakland, of every shade and form of faith, were invited to come together for mutual discussion and help on subjects of vital importance to every man and citizen. It was a getting together of hon- est men, with honest questions of right thinking and doing In the everyday con- cerns of life. An organization was formed and the men decided to take up a syste- matic study of the teachings of Jesus on matters of everyday affairs. They tovk no stand as to the position of Jesus as a theological character, but simply recog- nized him as a teacher who spoke on questions of worldwide concern, and they wanted to know what he had to say. No one pledged himself to a thing. Bach studies with the club members, reaches his own conclusions and acts on his own jndgment. “In joining the club a man does not commit himself to follow these teachings unless he desires to do so. The men feel that there is but a very vague and fll- conceived understanding of Jesus Christ. Many of them are members of churches, many have no relation with any organt: ed Christlan work. It is simply a going ‘back to Christ,’ and not to creeds nor to theologies for his message to the world, ZE XY JE FREMER L SON FHE. e EWIINGS —TEAN AL L) Z Y A RN THER ZovssE IHNONL Y W 1he Busimmess [Life A ccording to Chirist sister, Mr: to going and t eparte and goe to work s Ma- b 2 bit of most ntil late she stands own and study- stands th = the ence and finally thing.

For the first series of ten dlscussions they are taking Jesus’ 3 man soclety and its only question that th themselves Is “Wha object sough will be the nal teachings, lea to choose whet them."” There you have jt—*t appll- cation of these teachings.” It is this personal application that the Christian is always In danger of forgetting. Per- baps this is because Christianity Is so old now that it has become more a tradi- tion than a real. present matter. The newness of a thing passes and we grow hazy about it. What we need is a good waking up to make us realize that these old truths are just as important now as they were twenty centuries ago. The discussion of fine theological points, of abstract questions, has occupied & great deal of time in religious societies and organizations of all kinds. That has its value of course, but it is what the club is trying to break away from just nrow. We are not going to pay any at- tention to the debate as to whether Jonah swallowed the whale or the wh: swal- lowed Jonah. We don’t care to find out how many angels can dance on the point of a needle. We are going to leave all the contentions on history so far as it does not congern our twentleth tury life. We are merely investigating the history of Jesus Christ's life in order to find out in so far as we can how we can live better lives here and now. These questions will be discussed openly among all the club members with no idea of Instruction from any one person. Hach one will be left to follow the line of argument or not as he chooses. But we hope for good results. There is the question of enemies, for in- stance. Can a man have enemies and still be a Christian? I belleve that he ¢ for If he is living In a way that he knows to be honorable and some man comes along and tries to inveigle him inte dis- honesty he may be obliged to make an enemy of the scamp if he pursues his righteous course. But this Is all open to argument. It will be discussed in the club. The point of making money is the sort of thing that is bound to come up. Can a man make money, become wealthy and still bg honest in the finest sense of the word? Glving to the poor, heiping those who need a boost in life, treatment of both friends and jenemles—they will be dis- cussed. I think the discussions ‘will show, teo, that & man can lvg with Christ in his heart every day of his life and still live bapplly and prosperously.
