the utmost certainty of the living of

Of the beggar with a conviction that
sent his soul bowling alteration be-
fore the command reached his ear,
"In the name of Jesus Christ of MAJ
areth, Walk" The reached out hand
aided and the newborn man within
carried the body with it into erect
ness. The ankle bones leaped up into
place and he stood and went with
them into the praising throng that
was about the temple. sStt was the
demonstration of our Lords continu-
ing activity thru the new body Of the
Church created and inbreathed with
His spirit. It was the daring of Pc
ter's faith that made possible the
event. Here was a case that Jesus
had passed by and if there were fail
ure the new movement would have
been doomed. It would have been
laughed out of Jerusalem and the
world and the lame would still lie
impotent and parasitic. We would
have been likely to say, John, help
me lift him around the corner out of
the crowd and We'll see if we can get
him to walk" But not Peter. He
flung everything into the risk and
while all Jerusalem was passing at
this high prayer hour dared command
this familiar figure to get on his feet.
And Jesus made good Once more
He was offering Jerusalem life thru
the vision of restoration granted all
the city in the new made man and the
possibility was made by Peters chal-
longing faith as it became a channel
for Christ's power. May we pray,
Lord, increase our faith"
THE NEW DAY.
There are still cripples outside the
Beautiful Gate, and the Church of Je-
sus Christ can never be Indifferent to
their need. But it is the importation
of life and not the giving of doles
that is her chief task. 1t is in the
spirit Of victorious faith that the
crowding throng Of needy souls must
be faced for there is remedy for the
condition and the Church is in posses
sion of it. If we are untrue to our
responsibilities here then our power
becomes our peril and we will and
should perish in its short-circuiting.
Peter faced the surprised throng with
his proclamation of the unchanging
purpose of the God Of the Jew and
that their only hope for restoration
lay in the acceptance of Jesus as
Lord-a thing as true now as then.

/ am the Lord that hea,eth thee.-Ex. 1925
THE AGELESS PROBL EN-.
"The poor always We have with
you" said our Lord, and so long as
humanity continues there will be diff
ferences of condition. For mankind
is not intended to be rigid, but fluid
like the sea in which a drop may move
freely. At one time it may flash upon
the topmost wave, at another the same
drop will be below the rest. Always
there must be some at the bottom and
there is no danger from this condi-
ton except in the freezing Of the top
that will prevent free movement by
all. The class domination of what
ever sort it may be is an ice-bound
situation that needs a change of eli
mate or the coming of a Gulf Stream
to break it up. The Church of Jesus
Christ is such a stream flowing thru
the frozen waters of class, color, re-
ligion or what not that has hindered
the opportunity of some thru the sell
fishness of others. Within its sweep
the need of each is the interest of all
and they that are strong bear the in
frmaties of the weak and poverty is
anly a relative term for a temporary
condition. Brotherhood has taken all
sting out of the word in its family
life. The thing Jesus did not say was
"Beggars we have with you" That
is the problem that is pressing upon
the heart of the world and must be
removed, because it is a thing of the
spirit and not of the clothes. For
beggars may have bank accounts and
social parasites may live on boule-
wards. These are the characters that
are a real menace to society, and it is
only thru the wisest application of
the mind of the Master that the stu
alton can be in any measure met. To
supply clothing only is a sure road to
creating a larger problem than the
one relieved. For the Church to be-
come a dispenser of bounty only is to
be disloyal to its high calling and to
become a creator of a poverty that is
hopeless. That is why the good will
industries are a type of the real
meeting of the situation Christ wants
us to alter because it remakes the
man and allows him to remake the
situation, while the Church brothers
him in his endeavor.
THE MAN JESUS PASSED BY.
This cripple was millionaire. He
had friends who carried him to his
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1925-04-09

place of business daily and saw that
he got home at night. Nameless help
ers upon whose good-ill Peter was
able to build a better structure and
without whose spirit society would be
poor indeed. And the temple organi-
cation gave space for its activity so
that he held his position next to the
Beautiful Gate. Long years they had
been doing this for him and he was
no better, for he was becoming more
and more a parasite sucking susten-
ance with no return of its milk of hu-
man kindness. Lying there he had
seen Jesus enter the same gate. He
had seen the blind man healed and
may have begged a coin from Christ.
But so sunk was he that while Jesus
saw a man" within the rags of the
blind-from-bjrth occupant of the same
step there was no such revealing in
this case. He was q creature of the
Sanhedrin and preferred to beg rather
than court the break that the other
had dared make with the organiza-
ton. He may have shared their hate
of the Man of Nazareth and have spit
viciously at Him as He passed. Ger
tainly the tender Lord would not have
gone by if there had not been some
spirit barrier that could not be sur
mounted even by the love that count
ed Calvary a joy. But a new day
dawned. The Calvary mob ceased to
cry, and then rumor began to tell of
the deathlessness of the occupant of
the Cross. Men and women entered
the temple talking of the wonderful
happenings and the Presence pervad-
ing the old haunts. Soldiers told
strange tales of the tomb, rulers wore
a worried look and refused speech
it was tantalizingly arresting to the
mind of the beggar who had seen
Him in the flesh. Weeks passed and
the stories were given with various
settings, but always with the joyous
center of a living Christ until Pente-
cost came and new wonders beat in
against his torpid brain until new
alertness began to possess this mind
untouched by the contact with Jesus
in the flesh.
