Topic for June Show "a BE a Good
Neighbors Luke 4, 25-37.

A Door" as all men have learned since
the Boer war, Is the ancient name for farmer.
A "neighbor' means a nigh -boor,' a near
farmer. the man whose acres touch yours.
Some have taken Christs teaching in this
parable of the good Samaritan as enforcing Q
spiritual neighborliness 70 the exclusion or min
linking of the literal 'next-doornes.'' Your
neighbors.'' they would make Christ say. ARE
the souls that circumstances disclose TO you
as needing your aid"
That IL true. and that is the main truth.
but yet 1 believe that a Christian insistence
on literal neighborliness. on kindliness with
the families In your block or across the street
Is really necessary TO open our eyes 20 the
neighbors on the Jericho road or under out feet
in China. Until we love the neighbor we have
seen. how can we truly love the neighbor wa
have not seen?
A good neighbor accepts the responsibilities
of contiguity. His neighboriiness begins with
his ashman or postman: her neighborliness be-
gins with the girl In her kitchen. II reaches
eagerly to the folks next door, ard constant
practice makes IL strong enough to get 20 the
antipodes. When real-estate agents, In selling
a house. mention II as an advantage that Won
dwell on the adjoining lot. IL is better mission
airy recommendation than nfe-membership In
a missionary society.
But the missionary society must come, too.
will inevitably come IL you are the right kind
OF ~neighbor at home. IL is the spirit OF un-
selnshness at the bottom OF II all. You cannot
delegate that spirit to a society. When Chris
tians give to missions and then settle back
with the comfortable feeling that now they are
Good Samaritans-by proxy. they make a ludic-
rcus blunder, and the missionary society soon
finds itself without their support, since there
is no adequate or permanent motive for such
benehcence. The badge OF a Good Samaritan
lie not the purse. but the heart.
Our common, popular treatfses on success say
too much about concentration OF aim. To be
sure. to-day's competition is tremendous. and
the strictest attention 10 business is necessary.
IL one would gather dollars. But the business
that leaves no room for our Fathers business.
does not succeed. though 1t gathers dollars by
the million. The first requisite for a neighbor
is TO be willing TO go out OF ones way. You
cannot be a neighbor without taking time for II.
You must take thought for Il also. Hap-haz-
ard neighboriiness. neighborliness on the spur
OF the moment. has its source on the surface
OF your heart and 80 cannot go deep into any
other heart.
Here, as everywhere else, Christ. who had
no house TO dwell in. is nevertheless our model.
He was the ideal neIghbor. His plans could
always be laid aside. or dovetaiied into ar
others plans. He groaned with others criefx
and His eye lighted up with their Joys. He
was ready TO praise. tactful in rebuke. He min
istered to mems needs rather than their wants.
He preached neighborlIness In the only finally
effective way; He became a neighbor himself.
