Next morning saw Joan leaving

GOLD BRICKS OF
BABYLON

There we're clever fellows
in Babylon, some time back,
who saw deep into the tangled
mysteries of astronomy, con-
trived weights and measures,
devised the parcel post and
the circulating library, de-
veloped architecture and
sculpture out of darkness in
to light, out of chaos into
cosmos and lifted heaven
ward from the monotonous
alluvial plain amazing piles
of kiln-baked or sun-dried
Jumps of mud into mighty
piles that were once the
swelling pride of kings and
are now the haunts of jack
ais.
Babylon had other kinds
of brick than those that were
made of mud. There were
gold-bricks, too, and those
who delt in them found an
easy victim in some poor
millet-grower of Sittacene or
or camel-driver from Pal
myraf or Massenian date
cultivator, sweltering into the
city agog at all the marvels,
ready to pawn his very soul
for all the merchandise of
thyme wood and ivory and
cinnamon, frankincense and
wine, horses and chariots and
slaves with torment III their
eyes. Fraud is coeval with
ihe human race; while there
has been life upon our planet
there have been rogues, and
it has been the task of honest
men to find them and stay
their mischief with steady
hand.
Nor has rascality at any
time lacked for friends and
defenders. Virtue has often
languished unappreciated
while flowers and tears were
lavished ON people who had
been just as bad as they knew
how to be. Takers have never
wanted an audience and a
following.
1t is not easy for a man to
keep faith with his own sim
pie creed of what is right and
behold the crowd dazzled by
the sheen of that which gilt
tiers and is not gold. In every
profession and every trade
there is only a short way to
travel ere one meets the
arrant cheat who ought to be
exposed. 1t is so much easier
to hold ones peace and travel
along.
But sooner or later comes
the acid test, and the inn
position is patent. The baser
metal cannot hide if even the
smallest fleck of the glorious
envelope disappears. Sancti-
monious hypocrisy is ex-
posed as clearly by a single
tell-tale gesture or look as if
it were utterly Invested OF lis
sleeps clothing. One need
not devour the entire con-
tents of a bowl of porridge to
know that it is burned or the
whole of an egg to ascertain
its badness.

Lord doeth; but | haze called

1t is impossible to mention
a title loftier or more beauti-
full for a Christian to claim
than that of "a friend of
Jesus" But none may lay
claim a full right to that very
beautiful title who does not
make it the great aim of life
to create a friendly world,
and to create an atmosphere
wherein men can look into
the faces of their fellow-men
and recognize them as
brothers. The huge task of
teaching this world in which
SO many find themselves
shut up like beasts in a
I kennel" that they are
| brothers. is essentially one
for religion to do, and there
fore is a matter for the
churches. Too long have the
churches in spite of their
splendid missionary efforts,
been of a parochial character.
They have neglected to grid
themselves with the Divine
power indicated in Christ's
great commission and to set
out to impress upon the world
that community spirit which
Christians too often fail to
recognize when they pray
Our Father" No other or
ganization has the equip
ment, or the power, or the
passion to create that spirit.
1t is the one big job which
stands before the Church
clamoring for attention. 1t is
useless, therefore, for the
churches to continue singing
as they do such hymns as
''The whole wide world for
Jesus" unless they set out in
a practical manner to tackle
that job:
The Whole ,0ide auorld for
-. Jesus!
his shall our lUdtchWOrd
be,
Upon the highest mountains,
Dozen by the wildest sea.
The aohole mide avorld for
Jesus!
To Him shall all men boiU
In city or in prairie
The World for Jesus now!
But the wide world will
not bow to Jesus unless those
who are entitled to the name
of friends of Jesus, are
friends to the whole wide
world, and learn to love the
world in some measure like
Him ''Who SO Ioued the
World that He gaze His only
begotten Son., to win the
world.
1t is out of such a friend
ship as this that the Church
itself will receive a blessino
as well as confer a blessing,
for as Sidney Dark has we'll
said:
Great friendship can only
come from a great soul. A
great saint may have more
friends than a great sinner,
but the great sinner will
have many more friends than
the little saint. Every man at
his best is really big. We are
all of us only little lower
than the angles. That is our
birthright. And if we want
to have our lives illuminated
and inspired by friendship,
we must never forget that the
angles are our near
relations"
