Whatever hurts people-and especial
ly the weak, the helpless and the &C.
fenseless who have no protectors, eX-
cept the inevitable truth of God
comes within this sweeping condemna-
ton. The sacrednesS of life and OF
human welfare-that passion which
burns brightest in the noblest breasts
of our time-was lighted by One who
had himself been under the harrow of
inequitable political, social and re-
ligious conditions. We find Jesus ar
rayed on the side of all who need.
There is a great deal of talk nova
days about property rights; and
some of it is needed. Every teacher
or truth. however, must speak clearly
the judgment that weighed in the
scale against the rights of life, the
rights of property are inconsiderable.
Our day sees clearly the worth of hu-
man life. In one of his profound
papers, What l Believe and Why

DR. William Hayes Ward says, in
touching upon the puzzle of infinite
space and infinite. time, while | be-
lieve t!-ere are innumerable inhabited
worlds, yet if the earth were the only
one the service to us on this little
world of all radiant heavens would
not be unworthy, for I believe that

least of these" offends Jesus Christ
and merits His condemnation.
\ Unique Doctrine
In the budget of utterances of
Jesus, which make up this Sunday
School lesson, there are four distinct
messages. The first deals with stumb-
ling blocks and helpers. The second
touches upon the unique Christian
teaching. which differentiates it from
other religions, that men should for
give one another. Retaliation was
the rule of the world in which Jesus
lived. The Mosaic doctrine of IAN
eye for an eye" works out in the
Arabs blood feud and in all the an
cient world, which still maintains the
ideals that were common IN Christ's
day. But He came bidding men to
forgive penitent brother.
There is no mushiness or muddy
mindedness about this. The clear word
of Christ is that an impenitent Of
fender is to be rebuked. The preacher
or teacher who has not the courage
to condemn sin, has no credentials
from Christ. But when brother has
lrepented, then he is to be forgiven.
Yes, and forgiven again and again;
for the kingdom cannot come-there
cannot be a harmonious social order
until the principal of forgiveness
and forbearance permeates it. BY the
| forgiveness that we expect of God
lJesus abjures us to forgive our breth-
rem.

Servants''-Luke II: 1-1O.
(By William T. Ellis)

Some people are stumbling blocks
and some are stepping stones. Some
lives help and other lives hinder. The
seriousness of being the sort of per-
son whose conduct keeps others from
being their best, is dealt with in plain
speech by Jesus. His teaching hits
squarely at big business, IL 1t is bad
business. 1t indicts the saloonkeeper
and the mistress who oppresses her
servants. 1t reaches out to the osten-
tatious rich who put bitterness into
the heart of the poor, and the Chris
tian" homes which give their servants
"A distaste for religion. The purveyor
of suggestive literature or immoral art
or debasing entertainment comes
squarely within the range of this ter
rife attack of the gentle NaZarine.
Things Worse Than Death
1T were well for him that a mill
stone were hanged about his neck
and he were thrown into the sea,
rather than that he should cause one

he still will not have earned heaven.
At the end of all his labors, the man
with the clearest vision is ready to
pronounce himself, as in this parable,
IAN Improbable servant" We are
dependent upon the mercy of God
We cannot work our passage to hea-
wen. The heather try to lay up merit,
but even they know that their labor
is vain. This passage has been
phrased by Peloubets notes as "the
duty of doing more than our duty"
1t is at once an eXortation against
spiritual pride and self f-camplacency
and reminder that the goal which
we all seek is so far beyond mems
power to earn, that it is wholly the
gift of the grace of God. The saint
liest and most serviceable lives are
readiest at the end to cry, God be
merciful to me a sinner"
