CONGREGATION DISCUSSES
JESUS SOCIAL PRINCIPLES
Sermon by Rev. William Horace Day
Is Followed by Hequest of the
Pastor for Views of
Hearers

Rev. William Horace Day. pastor OF
the First Congregational church, began
his course on the social principles of
Jesus last night at the First Congre-
gational church. A feature of the service
was the opportunity for open discussion
at the close. Everyone was invited to
share with perfect freedom.
The speaker said mil in his essay
on liberty complains that Christianity has
ignored public duties and virtues. That
might truly be said Of the church. but
could never be said OF its founder. Jesus
first Npreaching was call to repentance
and the kingdom. The first message was
a gospel of individual return to right re-
lation with God In order that man might
share in the coming social order which
our Lord came to set up among men.
His dynamic idea was the social one
of the kingdom. While. as Professor
Peabody says, his primary message was
to the Individual, but the test of, Individual
salvation was in his contribution to social
service. In our science heat and light
and motion are but forms OF the same
thing which scientists call energy. The
secret Of Jesus manifold activities was

Japanese Get Special
Attention

Lodging House Inspector Thomas AZ
West is this month paying special at
tention to the Japanese lodging houses
in Los Angeles.
Already Inspector West has looked at
seventy and he says he is only partly
finished.
Orders have been issued to clean,
sweep and dust rooms, exterminate rats
and vermin and to afford plenty of ven
tliation and sunlight in all rooms.
II have found two classes of Jap
anese," said Inspector West. "the clean
and. the dirty. q
Some lodging houses on first inspec-
tion were filthy, while others were cleaner
than the average white PERSONS estab-
lishment.
I'VE seem to get two classes of orien-
tails here as judged by the class of their
lodging places-the absolute cheap, coolie
class mad those who insist on good lodg-
ings and can afford to pay the price.
II find the landlords will to cooperate
as soon as they understand what the city
regulations are"
Recently there has been much typhoid
fever among the Japanese, due mainly
to the fact that at grading camps they
drink impure water, and they are brought
to Los Angeles hospitals for treatment.
Few of these cases originate in Los
Angeles and there are few deaths in pro-
portion.

Leaving Los Angeles June 5, we
iourneyed north to British Columbia,
passing Mount Shasta.
s'The sindescribably dull scenery OF
Northern Washington, dreary prospect
of swamps and burnt stumps, gave way
in Canada to mountain scenery as glor-
ious as can be found in the world. Snow
decked crags looked down into dimpling
lakes. Silver threads of snow interlace
the brilliant green forested canyons,
breaking farther down into crystal cas-
cades.

300 feet deep.

over man and, approaching a cut. our
engineer was suddenly confronted by a
freight bearing down upon him. The two
cowcatchers were crushed to splinters
and twisted iron, and the boilers came
together.
"a Sunday in Quebec is never to be
forgotten. The narrow little streets, re-
minding one of st. Augustine. the quaint
gables and brass doorknockers, the old
cannon and above all the old churches!
1--WE sailed from Boston June 49, We
had a restful voyage of ten days.
.sFour things are necessary to start
one of Europe's trains: The consent of
the starter the ringing of the bell, the
horn of the conductor and the locomotive
whistle In Stratford-on-Avon we joined
the 30 1000 annual visitors at Shakespeare's s
house. We just missed Mark Twain, but
had pleasant greeting from Marie
CoreIli. whose guest he was. We stayed
for quiet Sundays rest and was richly
rewarded by visit to the most ex-
ouisitely beautiful grounds have ever
seen. being those of the old castle. Mon
day | rode on tally-ho to Kenilworth
castle ruins and in the afternoon wit
messed the pageant at Oxford, brilliant
representation of that remarkable city's
history from NEUROLOGICAL days to now.
1t was three-hour display of color and
action"

In the social energy which sprang from
his vision of the kingdom of God.
THE nature of this dynamic idea--the
kingdom-seems hardly to have aroused
the attention of the theologian till mod
ern times. No more earnest inquiry is
being raised than the illumination of this
social idea which permeates Jesus words
So rich was his thought and so varied
its expression that 1t is not simple.
THE communist and the socialist have
claimed Jesus idea as their own. But a
careful study shows that the Master
neither conceived of private possession
as wrong in itself. nor the receiving of
the profits of private possession in rents,
interest and profit as unethical.
Held Property
Peter did not sell his house. nor John
his boat. and God is represented as a rent
collecting landlord Furnishing unscrupulous
tenants, while the faithful disciple is lik-
ened to the man making profit on bor-
rowed capital, and the bad servant is
condemned for making the capital earn
interest.
I'VE have been told John did not define
the idea. / believe you will find it de-
fined by SYNONYMOUS idea in the Lord s
prayer. Thy kingdom come. thy will be
done. The kingdom Is the reign of the
will of God. The reign of the will of
God in the single soul. in the group in the
whole world. 1t is within you 1t has
come in the church. it will come to fill
the whole world.
The method of extending the kingdom
is quite as unexpected as the nature of
it is surprise. Jesus does not appeal
to force-he sternly commands Peter 10
put up the sword. He, is always more
anxious about the duties of his friends
than their rights. A man may lose his
rights and still be splendid in character.
but he can never neglect his duties with
out moral decay"
mot by the struggle for wealth-1ay
not up for yourselves treasures on earth
He never makes use of the appeal to the
beautiful to extend the kingdom nor even
to enlightened self interest But he does
call men to the kingdom by appealing 10
the fundamental desire to know God and
by the elemental passion for brotherhood.
"The life of the kingdom flows from
the love which the citizens get for their
king. The citizens will obey the laws
of the kingdom. as they entered king
dom not by force, greed nor self interest
of any kind. but because they have
learned to love Christ the king, and so
have found the blessedness of fellowship
with God and with their brothers. .
