nent peace. The wise men were guided
in their search for the newly born
King by the rabbis, who recognized
from this prophecy that He was to
he born in Bethlehem of Judea. Micah,
the peasant prophet and champion of
the oppressed. foresaw in the birth of
the Christ a poor mans Messias. who
was destined to be born in Il manger
and to share the burdens of the poor.
Religious Requirements.
Micah in n few words expressed
the reasonable requirements Of the
Hebrew religion. President Eliot Sc
lected them for the alcoye of religion
in the reading room Of the Con-
gressional Library. Jehovah requires
of us justice, kindness and humility.
Christianity has not perceptibly modi-
fed the need of fairness, mag
nanimity and a lowly heart"-the
three essentials Of religion. according
to Micah. The prophet did not know
that the only way one could fulfill
these requirements was through the
gift Of Divine power.
Justice is not that of the law or
force, but rather that expressed in
the Golden Rule. If we love kind
ness justice is insured. Unless we
love a principle there is a tendency
to seek to evade it's application.
Our Lord does not desire our pos.
sessions or the following Of any
ritual. although He appreciates with
out doubt the sincere worshiper, with
out regard to the form of his ap.
proach, If he comes in sincerity and
truth. moved by love for Him. We
can only walk in Gods paths and
do His will when we have sur.
rendered our life to Him. taken up
our cross and followed our Lord in
a life marked by justice, kindness
and humility.
In obeying the will Of our risen
Lord and carrying out His com
mandments in our daily work we will
help introduce His spirit in the af-
fairs of men and establish a rule OF
social justice among them and all
nations. Men do not naturally de-
sire to practice the principles Of fair
ness, magnanimity and humility. 1t
is only as we walk with God and
try by the aid of the Holy Spirit
that we can express in our daily
life the three great essentials Of re-
lion expressed in our golden text; HE
hath showed thee. o man, what is
good: and what does Jehovah require
of thee but to do justly. and to love
kindness. and to walk humbly with
