ADVISES TURNING
 THE OTHER CHEEK
Rev. (. H. Schneck Says Civil iZati0n Demands Tolerance

That the highest ideals of ciyiliza- ton call literally for the turning of the other cheek, was inferred by Rev. c. II. Schneck of tho German Baptist church, who addressed the largest gathering ever held by the Y. NJ. c. A. Bible Class at the "" last evening. There was a delega- ton of AZ present from the New Britain Machine Co. The Peerless orchestra furnished music. There were 95 present last night and the class membership has gone to l5O. breaking both records. Rev Mr. Schneck took as his subject, Hitting Back"
 He started with the precopt in the Sermon on the Mount, Resist Not Evil"
 He said "Ten objections have been made in the history of Christian ethics against this precept.
 "First--It Is a natural human i'm pulse to resist. Just like crying in pain. Self preservation drives me to retaliate.
 "Second--1 encouraged aggressive ness of the arrogant bully by not re- 1 taliating. ~ "Third-It Is moral and temper mental weakness not to retaliate. Christianity requires courage.
 "Fourth--Our whole civilized so- cial order tests on inc use 0 force. ] We have police and courts who do retaliate.
 "Fifth---A man must have enemies to develope.
 "Sixth-My personal rights must be protected, else l give up my per- sonality and my self respect.
 "seventh-It would be hypocrisy, not to strike back,
 "Eighth-By retaliating I show the offender what his act deserves and I help to change his character.
 "NinthAIt is impractical Leo Tolstoy and Gandhi in India proved that.
 "Tenth-Right historical intcrpre- tation shows that Jesus simply re- fers to the relation of his disciples to the current civil law of the Jews"
 Mir. Schneck in reply to these ar guments said: Jesus wants us 10 be poor in spirit. which means 10 be conscious of our own needs and our conceptions.
 He says follow Me- Meckness is not weakness with him. Eye for eye and tooth for tooth brings us back to the civilization of the cave man. If we so back to him in our moral relations to our fellowman why not go back 10 him in other realms of life? Jesus by no means advises undue submissiveness. But He advises us not to put the law of force into the foreground but the law of reason and good willy
 we never can redeem the evil in our adversary by striking him. To conquer wrong means to show good will towards him in some way. The not me the Son Of God if He would not put the highest ideals before us. Good will certainly knows limits and l may have the duty to retaliate in many a case. But according to the mind of Jesus no matter how many enemies l have I never should be an enemy.
 He certainly would not advise striking the other fellow behind his back and would stand by the historic development of civilization that our authorities regulate personal retalla- tion."
 Next week MT. Schncck will talk to the class on "The White Lie."
