Christ gave to the world in the
story of the Good Samaritan the
solution of all social and political
problems. Familiarity with it has
blinded us to its greatness. Its sim
plicity makes it's understanding pos
sible to a child, yet its philosophy of
life contains the most practical
ethics and the most profound thought
ever given to man upon social serv-
Ice. 1t summed up in a few wordr
the program of Jesus for society.
The story, which is the greatest
parable and the most typical of the
Masters teaching, was spoken dur

opened in an effort to entangle the
Lord. He had been chosen by the
hostile Pharisees as Il part of the
program TO destroy the prestige and
power that Christ possessed with the
people. lie, without doubt, was one
of their ablest lawyers. He showed
his ability in opening the debate by
asking Jesus, whom he addressed

Evidently Christ detected the law
y"r's insircerity or He would have
given him IL direct answer. as lie
cid the rich young man who asked
a similar question. The Lord re-
Vealed His skill as u Teacher III the
methods lie used in Ills discussion
with tho brilliant lawyer. Apparently
the Master appeared 10 have fallen
into the snare when He adopted the
Socratic method by answering the
lawyers question with another qGcs-
tiou, that gave the lawyer n chance
to prove his mastery of tho word.
Some have suggested that Jesus may
have by a series Of unreCorded ques-
tions guided him to unite the de-
tached portions Of Scripture, which
the lawyer quoted from Deuteronomy,
vi. S. and Lcviticus, XIX. IS. in answer
ing Christs question as to How read
est thou?" 1t is equally probable that
Jesus expected that the lawyer would
reply, as he did. His first reply was
written upon the small roll of vel
lum every jew carried at that period
on his person in the 'phylact"rics,' =
which they bound on their arms cr
fOrcheads. His second selection
would imply that the lawyer r.cog-
nized that religion had a mauWard

Jesus surprised the lawyer by APP
proving his statement Of the law 5

He had expected criticism and contro-
versy, but the Lord turned the tables
upon the one who had sought to en-
trap Him when He told him This do

that life and religion were alik" in
their relationships and that the doini-
naut clement in all human relation

there was close relationship be-

this that caused Him To suggest TO
the lawyer that if he did what he said
