Right Rev. James r. Freeman, Bishs

of the Episcopal ChArch in the diocese
to visit him at his house in the grounds
of the National Cathedral next Friday

are also invited to be present.
In an address Of welcome the
Bishop will ask the representatives OF

department the things which they
need. in securing which tho depart
ment may be found of service.
The department of religious educa-
ton acts as the executive committee

! The institute meets monthly and en-
! deavors to present a varied program
covering every phase of modern
scientific religious education. Attend

love where hate is the rule; they
shall have good will where all 9TH
ers have i'll will; they shall live and
act with charity and love where all
others are acting with hate and
malice.
VIII it work? It worked in the case
of Jesus. He moved Serenely through
His short life, and was unmoved by
the elbowings of accusers and traduc-
ers. He met life with a smile, and
loved all kinds and conditions Of men.
Enmities melted away before Him as
the morning cloud is dissolved by the
first rays of the sun.
Wherever men allowed themselves
to know Him, they were won by this
unfailing and undiscouraged friendn-
ness.
Some one may say: This law Of life
worked for a time, but at last His
enemies had their way with Him. But
did they? Who won, Jesus or the
Pharisees? The Pharisees could point
to the cross, and claim victory. The
disciple of Jesus can point to the
moral power which radiated from that
cross, stirring the imagination and
the conscience of the Mediterranean
world, shaking the Roman Empire.
and determining the course of human
history for all the centuries since that
woodworking event.
Human progress is in the hands
of the lovers, not the haters. Lovers
build, haters destroy. Jesus asserts
it, and history confirms it
Hate has had it's chance. IT has
deepened racial antagonisms, it has
bred wars, 1t has set brother against
brother Hate travels with all the
furies which scourge and destroy
jealousy, unreasoning ambition, greed
The power of determined love has
been scantily tested. 1t has proven
workable between individuals. It
awaits the larger trial between races
and nations.
Here lies the privilege Of the
church. If the church turns from de-
nominational chickering's and creedal
strife to a courageous effort to apply
the teachings of Jesus to the complex
and confused life we share, the golden
age may yet dawn.

Church HAS HALF
OF PENSION FUND
Presbyterian Campaign for
$4,000, 900 in Aid of Min
listers Shows Progress.

The national campaign of the lay
mems committee of the Presbyterian
Church for q budget of $4,000, 000
needed to put into operation the new
service pension plan for ministers and
missionaries of the church has passed
the halfway mark, according to re-
ports brought to Washington by
George Winslow, business agent
of the Baltimore Synod, and now a
field campaign worker.
More than $7,500,000 already has
been raised among Presbyterian
Churches of the Eastern States, Mr..
Winslow reports, and additional cam.
paigns are to be launched January 3
In a number of synods in Central
States, to be followed by others in
Midwest and Western States.
Campaign to Close i'm Spring.
The campaign will close shortly be.
fore May, when the next General AS
sembly of the church will be held in
California.
According to final tabulation of
funds obtained in Washington during
the three-week campaign here in No
vember, this citys contributions
mounted above 100000, John b. Lar
ner, chairman of the executive COM
hAIIee loI washington, mas an
nounced.
The new retirement plan will pro.
vide stipends for paid workers of the
church organization, ranging from
$500 to $4,000 a year, on the basis
Of 35 years service.
Assessments ApportiOned.
Each potential beneficiary is to pay
212 per cent of his annual salary into
the fund for retirement, and his con-
gregation is to pay, as a regular
yearly obligation, 712 per cent of his
salary. This plan, it is pointed out,
will relieve the Presbyterian Church
Of the necessity of having annually
to appeal to congregations for benov-
olences for the support of retired
preachers and other church servants.

God which will finally be set up upon
the earth. In the meantime. it's
admonitions are binding upon the true
citizens of the kingdom, even though
now we walk as pilgrims in the pres
ent world.
1t is to be observed that this ad-
mohtlon OF Jesus is brought into
sharp antithesis and contrast with
the philosophy of the natural man
and the present world order. Jesus
quoted our natural philosophy in the
preceding verses when He said: Eye
have heard that it hath been said.
thou shalt love they neighbor, and
nate thine enemy" and then he added,
BUT say unto you. love your ene-
mics, bless them that curse you" etc.
This, then, is one use we can. make
or enemies. The only real harm that
my enemy can do me is for him to
get into the inside Of my spirit and
cause me to hate him. Hatred is the
most horrible foe of the soul. There
fore, to meet cursing with blessing is
the height Of earthly wisdom as well
as the perfection of heavenly beauty.
How often, In the history of man, it
has been proven that "a soft answer
turneth away wrath; and many a
hard heart has been broken by gem
tleness and love coming in response to
enmity and hatred
Victor Hugo taught. therefore, a
profound and universal truth when
he pictures Jean Val Jean finally sur
rendering to the innocent and subtle
but all-powerful influence of the good
bishop who had trusted and befriend-
ed him, and who continued, through
his prayers, to bless him even though
this criminal had robbed him and fled
from the home where the bishop had
offered him Christian hospitality, car
rylng the good bishops treasures with
him. And the most superlative height
of earthly glory was reached when,
in the midst of the anguish and agony
Of the cross, Jesus Christ lifted up His
voice on behalf of those who had
nailed Him there, and prayed for
them, saying Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do"
The omnipotence of this perfect.
divine and heavenly love will be mani
tested in the rule Of Righteousness and
peace when Jesus returns to this
earth to reign as King of Kings and
Lord OF Lords. In the meantime, it is
our high privilege to see the best
even in our faulty fellows; and, as far
as human limitations will allow, to
build upon them:
Be noble. and the nobility
That is in other men.
Often sleeping, but never dead.
VIII rise In majesty
To meet your own.
