sins. If Il woman broke the code, she
was branded by society. She was
forced to wear a dress which paraded
her shame. Children Knocked her in
the streets. Respectable women
looked the other way.
Some other sins We're not so stub
bornly condemned. The man who had
money TO lend was able, to manipu
late the real estate and the banking
business so that many widows found
themselves done out Of their lesaCies
These real estate and banking experts
used very devious devices to rob the
widows of Jerusalem, strictly legal de
vices. Furthermore, they attended
church very regularly and always
gave the customary 10 per cent TO
home and foreign missions. Society
accepted them. There were other
men called Pharisees. very religious
men, men who knew the Bible by
heart. These men knew all the rules.
If they found n man pulling a suffer
ing beast out of a. pit on the Sabbath
day, they punished him. IF they
caught a tailor carrying a tailors
needle in the hem of his garment on
the Sabbath day they hailed him be-
fore the court. There were so many
laws and regulations that no ordi-
nary man could, remember them. AS
a result the Pharisees were able to
make religion very burdensome. The
Pharisees always sat at the speak
ers table at important dinners in Je-
rusalem.
But the harlot--away with her.
And Jesus had dinner with the sim
ner, and heaped wrath upon the Phar-
iSsee.
The Christian centuries have fol
lowed the lead of Jerusalem society
rather than of Jesus. The sins Of the
flesh have been mercilessly castigated.
The man who manipulates political
power for his own advantage, and by
one deal enriches himself at the ex-
pense of thousands of his country
men-he IS received as a welcome
guest.
It is high time that the list Of the
sins be rewritten.
The sin of adultery will not be
passed over.
But above and beyond the sins of
passion will be put the cold and delib-
crate sins which encroach upon 9TH
ers' rights.
Here we will list:
The man who uses political power
for his own enrichment.
The man who through real estate
manipulation, or the skyrocketing OF
building costs, makes the cost OF hous-
ing more onerous for the poor.
The promoter of fake stock deals.
robbing weak and ignorant people or
the little they have.
The religionist who makes religion
heavy burden Of negative proscrip-
tions.

THE TWO-WAY PULPIT
Views Of Opposing Religious Leaders
on Bible Questions.
BY JOHN ROACH sTRATO\. u. ID
TODAY'S TEXT:

also together with Jesus.-ii.15.
Evening star., 1926-05-08

The self-righteous and the snobs
found fault with Him for doing this
In the case of Zaccheus, Jesus chose
him out of all the multitude and
made Himself guest OF the unpopu
lar publican that he might lead him
to God. when they saw it. they all
murmured. saying that he was gone
to be guest with a man that is a sin
ner.' luke XiX.O. That character
they" has always been i'll the world
ia criticise and find fault. They say
50 and so" Yes, we still hear il.
Despite these carping criticisms.
however. Jesus went on and saved
Zaccheus' soul,
Jesus never identified Himself with
the frivolous. the goddess and the
worldly in order 10 enjoy their
selfish pleasures, hut He did not
hesitate 10 mix freely with sinners
that He might help them.
Theodore Roosevelt greatly en-
deared himself to the masses by his
spirit of fellowship and con&'adeship.
He slept with the cowboys on the
Western prairies; he even went while
on board ship down into the stoke
hole and helped the sweaty men
shovel in the coal. No wonder that
they all loved and honored him.
One great need Of our age in the
field OF religion is humility within the
ranks and the Willingness to meet our
fellows on their own plane. OF all
the harmful forms of that disgusting
thing called snobbishness, spiritual
snobbishness is the worst OF all.
There is no place in Gods house or
Christ's work for any sort of caste
system. Pew rentals, exclusive
cliques. the "holier than thou" atti-
tude of the ''unco guide" are all alike
repugnant to the mind Of the Master
and incompatible with the glory Of
His grace. THE rich and the poor
shall meet together. for God is the
Father Of them all"-that is the true
Bible standard.
When modern Christianity is will
ing again to touch the leper, its glory
will return.
