IN THE RELIGIOUS WORLD.
What the Church Folks Are Thinking About and Doing
Religious News From Everywhere

q picturesque Arab, n free SON of the
| desert-Hobab. the brother-in-laW OF
Noses. This man knew the WudeF-
/ ness as commercial traveller knows
| his railway guide. Not his the awk-
ward cumbersome ways OF this horde
Of freed slaves. who had not yet
learned to be good masters of them
selves He and his household jour-
neyed freely about the desert. with all
the confidence and celebrity of the born
nomad.
To this interesting character Moses
made famous invitation-"Come
thou with U.S. ana we will do thee
good" That is what the Chosen Peo-
pies today are saying to all races
That is what the Church Is saying to
the world. Amplified, the message Of
this and the Church's message to the
world is clear-sCome; give up this
futile. hand-to-mouth, happy-go-
lucky. life-for-the-moment existence
Of the desert. Take your place, as
beflts your manhood and capacities,
versal currents Enjoy deeper, more
meaningful. more purposeful life for
yourself. and let your character count
in the making of history, This new
destiny. Come. and we will do You
good"
The Appeal to the Heroic.
That offer did not move Hobab.
Somehow-and herein we trace the
latent nobility of the race-the appeal
to self-interest does not touch the
depths of human nature, despite the
pnOverb that "self-interest is the first
law OF life" Men do their best when
their heroism, sef-denial and chivalry
are appealed to, Moses reached Hoo
bah by touching this diviner strain In
his nature. The second request was,
Come with us, for you can do us
good. We need you; you can be to US
instead of eyes You know how to
camp in the wilderness, You can give
just the sort of help that we re-
quire."
To that request, we infer from later
passages, Hobab responded. He had a
mans instructive desire to be useful.
And the great mass of men outside
the church today, who have no inclin-
alton to ornament church services or
lengthen church rolls, will hear a ring
ing invitation to unite with the Church
in the nobleSt service of their genera
ton. Herein is where the present-day
Brotherhood movement is finding it's
grip. When men go after men to join
in great, manly work, men are quick
to respond.
That is why the days teaching
should be that Gods guidance is al
ways into largest service. They who
accept him as leader find the greatest
life for themselves, and the fullest pos
sible expression for their own powers.
All who journey with God enter into
the largest good. He never leads into
failure. but only into that which is
success most worthy of manhood.
