In the sixth chapter OF Luke. in the
forty-sixth verse-"Why call ye me
Lord. Lord, and 30 not the things 1
say7''
why call yourself a Democrat and
then vote the Republican ticket?
Why call yourself honest and then
lie?
Why say that you are pure and
then live in sin
.'why call ye me Lord. Lord. and
do not the things which 1 say?"
What did Jesus mean? Do you be-
Heve he meant the things that are re-
corded that he said. or do you believe
that he said one thing and meant an
other? Do you believe that he ut
tered things that were impractical
and impossible for US to carry into
eject and then told Us he'd damn us
II We did not live up to II? / don't
believe you are fool enough to charge
Him with that. and II you are that
doesn't Justify the fact that you are
q fool II you do ii.
Did he pat the standard too high
for human attainment and then tell
use he'd damn US IL we didn't reach
TT No!
Ideals and Living.
I read where a bishop Of the Eng
Dish church said that the teachings
Of Jesus Christ should be regarded as
ideal and were never intended to be
carried into effect or lived
L knew of Y. NJ. c. A. that had a
debating society. and, it just decided
that under social, political. econom-
fcal conditions, that the teachings OF
Jesus should be regarded as ideal and
were not intended to be lived, yet
they both had the audacity to call
themselves Christians
Another man said Christianity had
failed. He lied! Christianity can 70
more fail than God can fail or that
the sun can fail. The church can fail
but there Is no failure in Christianity
for that Is of God. One man said it's
never been tried 1t hasn't been with
q good many.
I will admit that Christianity has
&sluen way beneath love as the orr
aNstandard. Love is the domt-
Aant principle of the world; love
can never be defeated Love may
be checked; love may be prevented
Tor the time being. in accomplish
ing its aim. but love will drill
tunnel through all the mountains of
opposition and reach the goal for

ruiehtiest thing in the world! And
the world is starving today for the

I heard Of a professor who was a
Christian. He had a brother-in-law,
\ doctor. who was an infidel and this
doctor said the reason that all Chris
tians didn't sin was because they
weren't sufficiently tempted Some
body challenged the statement, and
said:
