Time To Strike Back

One of our big preachers has
created sensation by declaring
that the gospel teaching of nom
resistance is not to be taken SER
iously. He has some hard sense
y ct perhaps he has never grasped
t he meaning of Jesus when he
C commanded his disciples to turn
the other cheek when smitten on
one side. In the country where
Jesus taught the law required that
W hen one was assaulted he should
not yield to anger, but give his
as sailant chance to "cool OFF,.
In that country challenge to
fight was given by stroke on the
cheek. If the stroke was resisted
fight followed. If the assaulted
party quietly turned the other
cheek and it too was smitten, he
was free from the law and could
pr oceed TO injure or even kill his
adversary and the second stroke
was his plea at the bar of justice
for it indicated fixed purpose to
do bodily harm. Jesus did not
teach men to be mice, but he ad-
monished them to be .on the safe
side-to respect the law and not
act hastily to avenging wrong
or licking an assailant. He taught
wisely and his disciples of that
day knew his meaning. His dis
ci Piles of this day unfamiliar with
the laws and customs Of his day
have made a weak and puerile in
te rpretation of some Of his best
admonitions.
Is it not the duty of a Christian
man or a Christian nation to sub
NIT to assault or refrain from
honorable defense. Duty lies in
a contrary course. When smitten
(insulted or assaulted) give the
adversary a chance to show his
real purpose. If he shows that he
intends injury drop your patience
a nd give him what he deserves.
That is manly and it is Christian.
In fact anything manly is Christ
liam. Christianity is the opposite
of cowardice. A man who will
d efen d himself is coward and
he more cowardly he is the more
he will hide behind the modern
