Safeguarding the Young.

CHRISTIAN Endeavor. in the nature of
its constitution. is specially charged with
the duty of conserving the best interests
OF the young. 1t has done a splendid
work in this line, and it is continually
reaching out into broader fields of useful
confined to tie spiritual instruction Of
the young. though that is it's highest
function. but to ths civic questions Of
education and social uplift.
Christian Endeavor civic leagues are in
many places a potent force in solving
civic problems for the amelioration of
sad conditions in child life. This should
command the attention of all good citi-
zens. but IL is an imperative obligation
resting upon the Christian.
One of the essentials of pure religion
and indebted before God and the Father
is to visit the fatherless in their Attic
ton
And elsewhere we are taught that all
children in need. whether they are or
phans or not, are to be the subjects of
Christian care and helpful ministry.
What are we doing and what more can
we do in suggesting and promoting i'm
proved legislation and increased philan-
throphy for the uplifting and safeguard
ing of the young?

Honesty of Administration.

Not only is there corruption in legisla-
ton by which injurious enterprises are
protected and evil practices permitted, but
there is often unjust and harmful adj
ministration in the government of our
prisons. asylums and hospitals. as well as
in the government Of city. state and ma
ton.
Christian Endeavorers may do much to
promote reforms in such cases. 1t is the
duty of all Christians to concern them
selves not only for the enactment of just
and humane laws. but for their just
and wise enforcement. We hold in ad-
miring remembrance the saying of the
old Roman: Il am a man, and consider
nothing that concerns men as foreign to
me-"
That is the Christ-idea. He bore our
gr!efs and carried our sorrows and in
all our Affections He was afflicted. So
Christian men and women must put
themselves side by side with the suf-
fering and be ready to extend helping
hand Intelligent sympathy is ever
power to help. -..
When it is shown it will often move
obdurate hearts to tenderer methods of
action. If that fails. there are officers
charged with the business of investigat-
ing and furnishing those who are unjust
and cruel in the administration of their
office
When wrong and injustice are being
done Christians should seek in a kindly
spirit to redress them They are nor to
be unconcerned about any vital matters

Political Economy.

A Christian need not become a politician
to perform his civic duties, indeed he
ought not to become one in the meaning
the term is usually employed to convey,
but he ought to know and defend good
policies and oppose bad policies. There
are both good politics and bad politics.
He should be student of political econ
omy that treats of the laws of morality
and religion.
1t is a much higher branch than that
which treats merely of the nature of
wealth and the laws Of its production and
distribution. The Bible is the only COM
plete text book on political economy.
II we are on the wrong side of any So
cial or political question it is because we
are not thoroughly imbued with its teach
ings.
The true Christian is the best patriot.
He recognizes God as the God of nations
and accepts His commands as final and
authoritative in the duties Of citizenship,
as in everything else.
The most patriotic duty of all is to
practice and preach righteousness
Through such practice and preaching po-
litical corruption will be lessened and
civic purity promoted.

God for sinners that We studied in the
two following lessons
The parallels of the lost show the value
which God must place on every soul.
At the close of each parable Jesus stated
or implied that He was describing the
conditions that brought joy to the Fa-
Tiers heart. 1t is found in the repent
ance of the sinner that restores him to
God. They suggest why God was inter-
ested In the salvation of the lost. The
teaching of Christ was unique In the est:-
mate He placed upon the value Of per-
sonalfty. He understood the meaning OF
law-that man was made in the image
of God.
This gave us the clue to the meaning Of
the parallels of warning that We studied
In the next two lessons. In the parable
of the unjust steward Jesus taught that
we ought to make the wisest use of pres
ent opportunities. We should so use our
money and talents that they will secure
for us the eternal rewards. The lesson
upon the rich man and Lazarus con-
tanned its message of sympathy and en-
enlargement for those who were then
and are now suffering wrong Jesus
made it wildly clear that no self-indulg-
ent selfish life that overlooked the cry
ing needs at ones very door would he
considered as making worthy response
all the requirements of conventional
righteousness. We ought to use the OF
portunity furnished by the grace of God
to fit us for the future life If We fail
there will be no second chance. The

to fill us with gratitude because the
seeking Savior is the sinners friend.

Sinners Friend.

Luke presents to us in the remaining
lessons (our last one was chosen from
Mark. but it is also found in Luke's
gospel a pen picture of the itinerate
ministry of Jesus as he moved on toward
Jerusalem. Christ shows the character
of His love to His disciples when He
gives them picture of the Improbable
servants. 1t gives view of the mind of
the Master as He moved forward with a
face set like flint toward Jerusalem. yet
with heart that yearned TO help them 10
be strong in the faith in their coming
hour of trial.
He was sharing not only our nature.
but He shared in His prosecutions the
common lot of men which called for Him
to suffer as they would the snares and
traps OF men. He sought to encourage
them, as He would us. who are called
upon to suffer wrong, that injuries and
offenses are a part of life The charm

whom the onenseS come. He summons
all by His example to live a clean. con-
sistent Christian life by faith and the
exercise of the spirit of forgiveness
We also saw how His faith in the power
of PRAYER increased as He drew near the
end of His journey. The question of
prayer strikes at the very root of all
theological thought. 1t involves the ma
ture of God and His relation to the uni
verse: 1t includes an estimate of human
nature and of the relation between man
and God. In the lesson on prayer that
Jesus taught by the parable of the Phar-
isee and the publican Jesus took the side
of the sinner by showing that the humble.
trustful attitude of the soul, u seen in
the publican. was the very genius of true
prayer. He showed His friendship for
the outcasts of society more when He
surprised Zaccheus by becoming his
guest Underneath this unexpected move
was the desire of Christ to win the
noted tax commissioner. The conversion

Under all the efforts Of Jesus to prove
that He was the friend of sinners was
the grace of God. that caused Him to
seek and to save the lost. The attitude
of Jesus toward publicans and sinners

forth the love and free forgiveness of

Privilege, Precept, Parallels.

The imagery Of the parallels of this
period is based upon the manners and
customs Of the age in which the Master
spoke In our first study we saw Jesus
drawing lessons from the social life that
He was then enjoying at the table of the
Pharisee. Christ always sought to use
His privileges SO as to be beneficial to
struggling humanity. He taught us in
that study how the disposition to use
ones privileges worthily may be easily
vitiated by self-consciousness and by the
wrong desire for social return. As true
disciples we are taught by the Masters

claims to be honored by others, but by
a spirit of humility to exercise our pow
