In The Religious World;
(REvrHw OF SUNDAY SCHOOL LDssoN)
and prescribed practices; on the con-
trary out Of the heart flows the fruits
Of a true religion.

and prescribed practices; on the con-
trary out Of the heart flows the fruits
Of true religion.
Clean Hands or Clean Lives.
The debate which ~is set forth In
this present Sunday school lesson
arose from tho fact that the dis
ctples of Jesus did not observe all
the strict pharisaical rituals. In
truth, nowhere in the world do the
busy, out.of.door folks. the plain
people, follow all the minutiae OF all
the ritual Of their religious teach
ers. The peasant women In Moslem
lands go about unveiled. The ordi-
nary Arab does not say his five pray
ers daily nor perform the prescribed
ablutions; 1.-The Chinese peasant ne
elects his god-shelf, and the Japan
ese farmer Is delinquent In daily o.
ferings before the shrines. These
peasant fishermen who followed jesus
we're neglectful Of tho etiquette Of
the conventional religious leaders.
The question was not one OF ac-
tually clean hands, but of ceremonial
additions The details Of these re-
ligious washings are really incredible
to US. have ridden with Moslem
pilgrims on the Mecca railway and
found them a filthy crew, whose
filthiness was not altered by the fact
that they washed certain portions OF
their bodies five times day. Ger
tain of the Moslem sects were dis.
tinguished by the way they laved
their forearms- whether from tho
elbow toward the hand, or from the
hand toward the elbow. There arc
scores of these ceremonial practices
in Islam, all of them assiduously cul.
tivated by the men on pilgrimage, yet
the immortality Of the pilgrims at
Mecca may not be told In English
speech. Neither Jesus nor his
friends would bind themselves BY
similar petty regulations concerning
the usages prescribed by the fahbiAH
and the pharisees.
When Religion 10 Not RIahteousnsss.
One clever dodge Of the Jews OF
the time OF Christ was to escape the
support of their aged parents BY de-
claring that their money vas corban,
or dedicated to sacred uses. A man
did not have to say when he meant to
use his money for temple purposes:
no could employ 1t for selfish In
diligence ali his life. The vow was
merely a trick to escape his clear
obligations. Equally shallow and un-
real were the observances Of the fasts
and the foods which figure 10 largely
in the Jewish ritual, along with the
ceremonial washings. The ecclesias.
tically correct were very careful to
keep their hands and their lips, but
what they needed was to keep their
heart with all diligence" for out Of
1t were the issues Of life. Jesus came
the new and radical gospel
OF heart religion. 1t mattered not
what man ate 80 much as what he
said. His clean hands were no atone
ment for heart full OF unrighteous-
ness. II religion does not make over
a mans heart II does not do anything
of value to him. Conformity to a.
creed o. system Of government or
ecclesiastical usage means nothing
unless the heart itself has been made
new. Jesus is differentiated from
all the other teachers Of religion In

Humorous Comment
Cause for REJOICING.

It Is the custom among some Of the
New York theatrical managers oc.
casionally to entertain the members OF
the local ball teams at their theaters.
A young recruit from the high grass
joined the Giants one day and that
night went with his new teammates to
play as guests OF the management,
/ The piece did not appeal to the men,
though, and they failed to applaud with
any degree Of heartiness. After the
curtain fell McGraw scolded them for
this lack of warmth.
Here, you fellers, come in here free
and have the best seats the house az
lords, and then you sit stock still like
row Of dummies?" he said. II hope
this doesn't happen again
The very next afternoon one Of the
veterans hailed the youngster at prac-
tice on the Polo grounds.
