DEMAND FOR HIGHER

1AAEho IN GNuAAND
London, March 14.-There is a
vigorous. growing demand through

IS the way the movements hackers
express 1t.
The argument Is that even man
who can afford to do 80, has no right
to consume the country's sustenance

charged that many of the working
classes. whose wages have been
,reatly inflated by the war, insist on

,ates want the government to com
pel labor to economize
incidentally. It is pointed out that
increased taxation will enable Eng

On the necessaries Of life is the thing
most generally urged. 1t has been
noticed that, rather oddly. this pro

lristocratic, capitalistic, conserva-

owing conclusion has been drawn

Luke 1s. 35-"BehOId your house is
left desOlate.-
Jesus was nearing the close OF His
earthly ministry. For months His en-
emies had been dogging His footsteps
plotting His destruction. All that
day especially he had faced antagon-
ism. Byt every hellish device His
foes had tried to trap Him in His talk.
The statement OF our text may have
been uttered at the close Of the most
terrific and scathing arraignment OF
the Pharisees when he had torn away
their mask of hypocricy, their OBJ
servance Of rights and rituals and
had characterized them as white
sepulchers filled with rotten and dead
mems bones. But more likely this
event occurred at a time late in the
evening. after the struggles OF the
day. Jesus was retiring to the quiet OF
Bethany for the night. Just as a ship,

waves upon the open sea, seeks the
calm and shelter OF some safe har-

summit Of the hill outside the walls

setting, prophetic of the future Of the
city. He turns and looks back, tears

the young man expressed his willingness

ity to change the entire trend and
current OF the worlds history and in
her neglect and rejection, she was not
only bringing destruction to herself,
but doom and disaster to countless
multitudes Of other human souls.
The opportunity that Jerusalem had
is the opportunity that America has
today. There is a striking parallel
between the spiritual and indifference
when Jesus came to earth and the
similar condition throughout civiliza-
tion in our own day. Men have gone
mad in their rush for wealth and
pleasure. They are finding the things
of the world ieeting and unsatisfying.
There is a universal unrest. This
great world war has shown the logi-
cal sequence for lust, for property and
power.
Men have forgotten God. If the peo-
pie of our own land could only see
that the psychological moment has
come TO sound the call summoning
lives to enthrone Christ and place the
spiritual pre-eminent, It would mean
that America would take her place as

Matthew vii; 2l-@NOt every one
that saith unto Ne. Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom OF heaven; but he
that dOeth the will Of My Father who
is in heaven"
In these words. Jesus warns His
disciples against any superficial con-
ception of His Lordship. It must be
in reality. and not in seeming profess
sion. Every great life is character
lied by willingness TO do Gods will.
Every stream that has blessed and
beautiied human life has had its
source in the fountain Of obedience to
God: every stream that has poisoned,
polluted and blighted human life had
its source in disobedience to God.
Jesus began His plea for obedience
by eXhorting His hearers to loyalty
TO the will OF His Father He then
proceeded to teach them that He and
the Father are one, and he that had
seen Him had also seen the Father.
Scientific instruction always endeav-
ors 10 connect the knowledge to be
impaired with something already
learned At the beginning OF His min
istry, His disciples acknowledged,
theoretically at least, the authority
of the Father. Starting with this as
a basis. Jesus desires to make this
acceptance of divine authority more
than mere Pharisaism and Journalism
It was far easier for them to profess
allegiance to the Jehovah who in
10
His servants and prophets by voice or
vision, than it was practically TO re-
coive and obey this same Jehovah in
the person Of His Son The coming OF
Jesus was to bring religious profes-
sion to an issue. Men were either to
do the will of God as il was now de-
ciared unto them, or by refusing they
would close the door OF the divine
kingdom against themselves. Theii
religion was to be a structure built
upon the rock or on the sand. and
whether they should accept or SHOULD
reject the Masters words would de
/ termine it.
Much of the failure to do Gods viii
is due to indecision rather rather Z,
disobedience. Religion is positiv,
rather than negative: it consists il
doing right rather than in not doinl
wrong. Neglect rather than antagon

To build these cars. the number OF en-
