ONE MANS OPINIONS

been governors who have been called
great governors, but the plain truth
is that few of them were really great
in any human sense. Altgeld was
great, although not many realized it
until after he had been bounded into
his grave.
l don't think of any others just
now. But l can think of many mis-
erably little governors.
Last September sat for two hours
in the Office of Gov. Ferris of Michi-
gan listening to him and Clarence
DaTow discuss the situation in the
copper country. l had heard that
Ferris was AL right" that he was
humanitarian, a single taXer, real
progressive Democrat.
When Darrow and left the gov
errors Office, after that conference,
l said to him: you need not ex-
pect anything from that governor.
He won't do anything
Generally in a conversation or con-
ference, however guarded a public
man may be in his utterances, some
one thing will give you line on what
is running through his mind.
Gov. Ferris had recently had a two
hours visit with Big Jim McNaugh-
ton, manager of the Calumet &
Hecla mine, and at the governors
home in Big Rapids.
During the conversation Gov. Fer
ris said to barrow: 81 understand
that many of the striking miners are
not citizens of the United States, but
are foreigners who expect to go back
to the old country when they get
enough money together"
That was enough for me. 1t indi-
Gated that McNaughton had worked
upon Ferris mind; and that Ferris
drew the line between citizens of this
country and those who were not.
That is, he didn't look upon all men
as his brothers; he didn't see those
miners as human beings, children of

other spot on this earth from me
makes my brother a foreigner. Pos
sibly we regard any brother whom
we do not know as foreigner"
But brotherhood can't be matter
of geography. There are no state or
national boundaries anywhere on
earth that God or Nature had any
thing to do with marking out.
The mere matter of marking them
on a map has nothing to do with the
human nature of brothers born on
opposite sides of the line.
What difference is there between
my brother from Russia who takes
out naturalization papers, and my
brother from Italy, or China or Japan
who does not?
OF course, one can vote and the
other can't, but there are many
brothers who were born in this coun--
try who don't vote; and there are
millions who vote without doing any
particular good by it.. More men
vote to get jobs for other men, than
there are men who vote to help hui

in the carrying of the gracious invi-
tation out into the highways
Obviously, the first aspect of this
parable which strikes the reade ris
the portrayal of the kingdom of heav-
en- as a feast. Somehow, that idea
has never gripped humanity, even
though it was at wedding that
Jesus wrought His first great work.
The ascetic, monastic, rigorous con-
ception of the Christian life long
held sway. Men esteemed religion a
thing of fasting, rather than of feast
ing. 1t meant in their mistaken
view, rather a subtraction from the
joys of life than an addition to them.
That Jesus came to bring a more
abundant life was an overlooked
truth.
A change is being witnessed in our
own day. A less somber view of re-
ligion prevails A more social con-
ception of Christianity has driven
out much of our rigid Puritanism.
The time-honored injunctions against
life's pleasures are heard less and
less. A vital church problem is how
to provide a brighter and happier
social life for people under the shell
tering wing of the church. For 1t
Is to feast that the gospel invita-
ton calls
Spurning Loves Offer
A mother stopped to kiss her petu-
lent child-and the child slapped the
mother in the face. That like the
lesson parable. is a picture of the way
love is often requited. The king
who invited his friends to feast
found that they spurned his prof
fered hospitality.

If we, like the Jews of old, fail to
carry to all men the summons to
llfes' royal feast of heavenly love
Some other way, in such a case,
would be found by the king for fill
ing his house; but what of those
who fail him? To-day the chief work
OF the church is to convey her Lord s
most highway.
The DisdainfuI Guest
What of the man who went TO the
kings feast without a wedding gar
ment, and was therefore cast into
outer darkness? Is the king fastidi
Gus about clothes? The entire point
of this incident in the story will be
missed unless we remember the orien-
tai character of 1t, and the usage
which led the host to provide the
wedding garment. A guest was at
to put on what was furnished him.
To fail to do so meant to hold aloof
from the festivities, and to flout the
hospitality of the host. Such a
breach of etiquette was this that it
meant insult and enmity; where de-
ference, gratitude and friendship
were due.
Wherein is the parallel and mes
sage for us? No part of the story
fits our day more closely. A con-
temptuous treatment of religion is
common. Men speak patronisingly
of the Lord Almighty. In thought
less profanity and in open defiance,
they jibe at the holy name of the
Highest. Irreverence is a twentieth
century sin. Now God is-necessar-
ily-jealous of His own honor.

the boys who forsake loving homes
for the pool rooms and street corners.
Consider the men who turn their
backs on wives and children and re-
fined surroundings, to consort with
gamblers and drunkards and still
baser associates. Alas. it is only
too true that human nature is capable
OF rejecting the best for the base.
Still more to the point, and truer
to the parable, is the way the
gracious invitations of God are re-
Jected. There is no warrant in rea-
son for the amazing indifference of
Myriads to the fatherly goodness of
God. That a kind creator should be
flouted by his handiwork is more
astounding than that a king should
be insulted by his subjects The
Jews were, sad to say, but true to
the human type in turning their
backs upon Gods proffered goodness.

in a fashionable section of the city;
but his neighbors refused to receive
him as a friend. In anger he moved
from his house, and filled 1t with the
poorest and least desirable of occu-
pants. Not from pique such as this,
but because the friends entitled to
the first invitation were unworthy,
the king in the parable extended his
hospitality broadcast. The Jews
spurned the proffered privilege, to

Delhi. in India, two years ago, one
of the native princes after greeting
the emperor on his throne, turned,
and, in defiance of all the usages of
etiquette, Difference and loyalty, in
stead of retiring backwards from the
royal presence, turned his back upon
his emperor and stalked away-pre-
sumably in a spirit of bravado. The
incident was regarded as so serious
that the offending prince was at once
compelled to make a complete and
unqualified and abject apology. Such
conduct, unrebuked, threatened the
very loyalty of the Indian people to
the British raj. So God must be
king, and receive His kingly due.
"He will not be king at all, unless
he can be king in ALL" To esteem
