HONORED ALL men
Never a Word of Contempt or
Scorn Came From the Lips
of Our Lord.

few privileged men move In splen-
did circles; they are the actors in
great affairs. and their names will be
writ large ON the page OF history IL
Is an instinct to honor the mighty. the
gifted. and the famous. But the i'm
mense majority spend their lives in
the most commonplace scenes, an in
hnity OF petty tasks consumes their
time and strength, and the experiences
which make up the life-story Of the
multitude are hardly important
enough to be mentioned In domestic
correspondence.
But on investigation we find that
the great minds OF the earth have also
been concerned with the most modest
affairs of human life. For instance.
Shakespeare writes of kings and con-
querors. OF battles and empire. of love
and beauty, of the deep things OF the
intellect and the heart. and he treats
these high themes with wonderful
mastery and splendor OF expression.
With his name we associate only SUI
preme genius and immortal fame. Yet
when we read his last will and tes-

master had. like the rest OF us. to deal
with very minor matters indeed.
Our difficulty is with the word all.
Honor all men," The people in AZ
RIGA as well as the people in America.
The jewellers in the slums as the resi-
dents of the avenue. All men! The
servant as we'll as the master; the
maid as well as the mistress: the illit-
crate as well as the scholar; the sim
ner as we'll as the saint Men OF high
character and achievement-we de-
light to honor them. The tramp, the
drunkard, the criminal-how can we
honor them? And yet the apostle
makes no exception when he says,
honor all men. 1t Is a tremendous de-
mand, and tremendously hard to obey,
and yet we must strive to obey it IL
we would have the mind which was In

Looked Into the Heart.

When Christ looked upon men what
did he see? Ordinary men saw sim
ply the sordidness OF life and its vi
cious characteristics. Jesus saw
more. AS st. John says: ''He knew
what was in man" Everybody could
see the british conduct, everybody
could see the vice and the shame. But
Jesus looked beyond the outward con
duct to the heart, and in the hearts OF
even the Calibans OF humanity. He
saw potencies and possibilities OF
good
Jesus saw the possibilities In human
nature where we usually see only com
mon clay. The ruby is a bit OF crys-
tallized earth colored with iron; the
opal is so much silica and water: the
diamond IS charcoal; and indeed. such
substances as clay and flint form the
basis Of nearly all the precious stones.
To our Lord the human soul was In.
finitely precious, 80 that even the
wealth OF the world was not to be
compared TO II In value. There was
but one thing OF sufficient value 10
buy the soul OF man. and that was the
blood OF the spotless Son of God. He
died for al men
Therefore honor yourself. for Christ
honored you. and scorn anything
which may degrade or bring upon YOU
dishonor. Then, also, you will see
something to reverence and honor in
every man and woman you meet for
even IN the battered and broken
wrecks OF humanity we see children
OF the love OF God. our brothers and
sisters for whom Christ died. II Is not
for you and me to Judge az 10 con.
corning whom the Lord OF Hosts hath
said: They shall be mine In that
day when ] make up my Jewels"

Passed None BY.

For this is what Christ did during
his earthly life-he honored all men.
This was indeed a thing which differ
entiated him from everyone else OF his
time. The good people OF Palestine
In his day never thought OF honoring
all men. On the contrary, there were
certain folk whom they regarded only
as objects OF their scorn and con.
tempt. They honored the pious Phari.
see. but the "publicans and sinners"
they treated as the filth and offspring
OF all things. Jesus honored all men.
He honored Matthew by calling him
as an apostle; he honored Zaccheus.
the chief publican: he honored the
woman who was sinner and defended
her before Simon and his assembled
guests; he honored the frivolous and
sensual woman OF Samaria when he
taught her at Jacobs we'll: he honored
even that wretched woman who was
dragged before him by a brutal mob,
and saved her by his word of justice
and pity. That was always character.
istic of our Lord. Palestine in his day
had its share of wastrels and ne'er-do-
wells. of low and degraded people.
and Jesus came into close contact
with them. But you will search the
Gospels in vain for any word OF con.
tempt or scorn from his lips.
