and cry against prosperity. The i'm
poVerishment of the rich would not
enrich the impoverished. That expert
ment has been repeatedly tried in So
cial upheavals and always with failure.
Dives is indicted because he had no
| social sense, no brother instinct. The
| beggar at his gate moved him not. He
| lived onIy for Dives, taking uttermost
luxury as his bi~rthright. He thought
that the whole world was made for
him., and so he lived for purely selfish
purposes. He was a prototype of the
multitude of rich people in all times
whose wealth has been either il-gOt or
iI-used. The tenement house owner
whose tenants suffer because of his
avarice. the manufacturer whose divi-
dendS are high and whose wages are
low, the political corruptionist who
perverts to private ends the public
profits, all belong in the Dives group.
The sole care is to look out for
number one"
The wealthy men of today are COM
ing to accept the new doctrine of
stewardship. 1t would be more honor
able if some of them did not possess
the wealth they have, considering how
it was obtained, than that they should
bestow it in self advertising charity. A
large company of homes rich men,
however, are sincerely en~deavoring to
use their wealth for the public pros
perity. They want to avoid the mis-
taxi of Dives.
The Law That Runs Forever.
The sense of social justice, which
now bulks so large in the popular
thinking, appears to many persons to
be a new discovery. Yet 1t has run
always. Since the time of Moses and
the prophets it has been obligatory
upon men. Dives knew and ignored it.
Our progressive day is merely gaining
a clearer perception of an eternal
truth.
Tha inexonable law rewarded
Lazarus, even as it had punished
Dives. The poor man was more than
a beggar. He went to Abraham's
bosom, not because of his sores, but
because of his soul. True. his needs

en-; but heavens blessings are spiritual
and spiritually secured. We know lit
tie of Lazarus life, except that the
dogs found him friendly, but we know
from the clear teaching of Scripture,

earth.
Now this old law, as interpreted by
Jesus, is getting into clearer play. The
spirit is so powerfully abroad
in the world that no man can afford to
it. This spirit is laying a heavy
upon the Diveses of our time, and

stone by which true love may always
be known: Love eeket not her own"
Sin is but a theological term fo-
s~elffshness.
In the long run, people never mis-
take a selfish person for an unselfisd
ne. Even as dogs and little children
instinctively know their friends, so peo-
pie are able to judge the real quality
of u~nselishness, which is always heart
deep. No simulated courtesy can long
deceive When the master passion of d
life is un~selfishness, everybody who is
touched by hat life will know it.
All who would walk with Christ must
be willing to give up their own way.
o Love is a guest that will kill all care,
And Love is immune to all dark de-
spair,
And Love is a cure for lack of gold;
And Love is a screen from the winters
old
And Love is the source of a golden
stream
That lightens the soul with a lustrous
gleam-
Where Love is a guest
There will come no fear,
the darkest ways
Are the Roads to Cheer!

of the matter is clearly seen. There Is
not a single passage of Scripture to pc

Lord Jesus and the Father are one in the

of these texts has been wrongly trans

There may be an apparent selfish

praise to him who isolates himself to

such faith Jesus granted her a crumb
from the Divine table.
Here we see the Lazarus class, sin
sick, covered with s~ores-because not
sharers in IsraePs yearly sin-atone-
ment sacrihces--hunger, becaus all the
promises of God primarily belonged to
Israel. They were outside the gate
of Divine favor-"aliens, ~ang and
foreigners to the commonwealth of Is
rael." This Lazarus class, chiefly Cen
tiles, had as its nucleus the outcastS
of Israel"-the publicans and sinners.
The parable pictures a great change
in this Lazarus class-they died to the
conditions wherein they were. They
ceased to be poor beggars, aliens and
strangers. Bit Lazarus was not our
led; he was carried by the angels
to Abraham's bosom. The angels were
the Apostles and ministers of the Cos
pei. These declared to the Gentiles that
whereas they were aliens and foreign
ers to the commonwealth of Israel
they were now brought nigh through
faith in Jesus, and the begetting of tine
Holy Spirit.
Abraham typified God, the Father of
the faithful, and the carrying of Lag
aru to "Abraham's bosom" symbol
cally said that the worthy outcasts of
Israel and worthy Gentiles became
children of God, children and heirs
of Abraham, who typified God.
The Jew in his misery has beheld
with Jealous eye Gods favor toward
those he despised. He has even hum
bled himself to ask that relief might
