One dav I'm Chicago a fellow came
up and rang the door-beil. and oh.
he was dressed fit to kill. Had on a
silk lid, ne had a diamond In his
shirt front as big as hickory nut,
patent leather shoes, a Prince Albert
coat, silk lined. hung below his knees.
And there was a girl about eighteen
years OF age--a peach of girl-one
OF these kind OF girls you'd involun-
ta.rily turn and look at twice IL you
saw her on the understanding by
his side.
Legally Right, Morally Wrong.
SO he tipped his lid and said. Does
the Reverend Mr.. Sunday live here ?"
said, It am he"
He said, 'FWii1 you officiate at our
wedding?"
said, Have you the marriage IL
cense?"
He said. Sure Mike'''

So he pulled 1t out and I looked at
it and said. THAT looks good to

thing of that sort. but listen. That
doesn't mean that IL fellow mes

A Jew wouldn't speak to a Samari-
tan, a Samaritan wouldn't speak to
a Jew; a Jew wouldn't loan to Sa-
marian, neither would Samaritan
loan to Jew. Not at ali. Jesus
Christ went into Samaria. There he
sat on the weil-curb--hungry. dust
covered. Out came that woman and
he asked her for a drink of water
She said,
Not on your life. you're a Jew,
I'm a Samaritan. We have no deal
ings one with the other"
No Discrimination,
Now" Jesus said. Took here, II
you become my disciple you've got

the same as a Jew. Give to him that
asketh OF you and him that would
borrow OF your turn not away"
IL Samaritan came to borrow
from a Jew. he gave him the cold
and vice-versa. but Jesus
said.
Here. II you become my disciple
you've got to give to him that asks
you whether he's a Jew or a Gentle"
1t doesn't make any difference In
the world. That's what Jesus was
trying to show-the spirit they should
manifest. and live.

to despise scientific charity-it's bet

a fellow when you take down the
color OF his hair and of his eyes and
the number Of his teeth. and you give
him the price OF a sandwich and you
keep the breath OF life In him but
you don't save him: you send him out
to shovel snow on your sidewalk
when you own a corner lot. and you
give him a cup of coffee and a sink
err.
I'll tell you. you don't try to save
him. Love will SAVE him. Love Ii
