The Meaning of Jesus Christ Today
In a recent address before an in
terdenominational gathering in Chi
cago, Dr. Robert E. Speer stated the
following relative to what Christ
does for us today: ''He shows ME
the possibility and duty of man as
to character and service. In the ef-
fort to attain this for myself, He
does for me what / know l cannot
do for myself and what l. have never
found any friend however dear able
to do for me- He gives me clear,
moral vision and the courage to try
and live by that vision. He gives
me the desire to work in the world
as intensely as He worked. He
kindles me, when / grow sluggish
or Indifferent, to positive and ag-
gressive antagonism to evil within
and without He gives me grace
and strength to try at least things
that / know are impossible, and to
attempt first of. all the things that
are hardest to be done. He helps
me to keep on when / have to, even
though / know l cannot. He helps
me to keep the central things clear
and not to be logged and broken
down by the accessories and Sec
ondary things. He gives me new
and inward living principle, and
lastly I believe that He is Himself
the principle of Life, and there is
another personality that would not
be there if it had not been for Him
and If it were not for Him today"

that thou, being Jew, asketh
drink of me, who am Samaritan
woman?" The quarrel between
Jews and Samaritans reached back
for centuries and was partly on re-
| ligious, partly on historical grounds
\ Whatever it's basis, Christ ignored
I it.
v. 10. "Jesus answered and said
| unto her, if thou knewest the gift
of God and who it is that saith unto
thee, Give me to drink, thou would
est have asked of him and he would
have given thee living water" The
solution of the foreign problem is
Christianity. AS both immigrants
and native born go to Christ for the
living water, they will come togeth-
er in Him.
v. 80. "And Cornelius said, Four
days ago, until this hour, was keep
ing the ninth hour of prayer in my
house; and behold man stood be-
fore me in bright APPAREL Cor
! nelius was centurion, a command
er of hundred soldiers, stationed
in Cesarea, the Roman capital of
had left idolatry and worshiped the
one true God, seeking further light.
v. 81. "And saith, Cornelius,
thy prayer is heard, and thine aims
are had in remembrance in the sight
of God" God hears and answers
prayers: Cornelius was good stew
ard, giving freely to the poor; it is
to such that God reveals himself.
v. 80. "Send therefore to Joppa
and call unto thee Simon, whose
surname is Peter; he lodgeth in the
house of Simon, tanner, by the
seaside" God uses men and wom-
en- through whom he speaks and
acts. Peter had had a vision in
which God revealed his will that he
should minister to Gentiles.
w. 33. Forthwith therefore l
sent to thee; and thou hast well
done that thou art come. Now
therefore we are all here in the
sight of God, to hear all things that
have been commanded thee of
the Lord" Cornelius would have
all with him share in the blessings
which Peter would make possible.
Blessings are richer when shared.
v. a. "And Peter opened his
mouth and said, Of a truth I per-
ceive that God is no respecter of
persons" God has no favorites
One of the most unjust and cruel
things we can do is to Judge and
dislike and mistreat and hate per-
sons simply on the ground that they
are of a different race, color or re-
ligion.
v. 35. "But in every nation he
that feareth him, and worketh
righteousness, is acceptable to him."
Character is the test, not race or
nationality. If man is acceptable
to God, he should be acceptable to
us.

Living With People of Other
Races, John 4:5-1O; Acts 10:30-S5,
for Sunday, Dec. 4:
We must live with other races be-
cause we are all crowded together.
Our whole industrial, business and
social life brings us into contact
with people of many races, and it is
impossible for us to isolate our
selves from them.
v. 5. $50 he cometh to city of
Samaria, called Sychar.'' Our LORD
defied Jewish prejudice when he
travelled through Samaria. The Sa-
maritans were mixed race, and the
Jews would have nothing to do
with them.
v. 6. "And Jacobs we'll was
there. Jesus, therefore, being
wearied with his journey, sat thus
by the we'll" There was a sacred
memory connected with this spot;
we do well to cherish sacred mem
ories. Jesus being human became
tired and needed rest; here is an
other touch of the human in Christ.
" Z. There cometh a woman of
Samaria to draw water; Jesus saith
unto her, Give me to drink" Jesus
broke Jewish custom by engaging in
conversation with SHINING, Sa-
maritan woman. He did not take
the proud attitude of comforting a
great honor upon her, BUT instead
asked favor of her. What he did
was done without publicity, for the
disciples had gone into the city to
buy food.
v. 8. "The Samaritan woman
therefore saith unto him. How is it
Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1932-12-01

Why do racial and religious pref
udices die so hard?
A dozen races fought side by side
in the world war; what will help us
to live side by side?
Why have human beings always
fought each other?
What is the task of the peace
maker?
How should people of another
race be treated?
What are the chief agencies and
instruments that are now function
ing to secure international peace?
Theodore Roosevelt once said, "If
we as religious societies do not see
that immigrants and the children
of the immigrants are raised up,
most assuredly the result will be
that our children and our children's
children are pulled down. Either
they will rise or we will sink.'
Lesson prayer: Help us to in
terpret "Our Father who art In
heaven" in the terms OF great
family on earth, of which each hu-
man being is member, all broth
ers and sisters.

 She claimed the chiefs suit has been "bleeding the Indians and said 3400 residents of the rude, scattered shacks in which the In- dians make their home have signed a petition against Skenan- dore.
 Skenandore's suit contends the government agreed the Indians were not to be taxed for their land when the reservation was broken up. He urged Indians to refuse to pay taxes pending out come of the case. Many did SC and were evictcd from their farms.

SENSATIONAL
 DIVORCE CASE
 GOING TO JURY
Orchestra Leader Freddie Rich Is Suing Peggy Lawton Rich, Formerly FOIlieS Girl

New York, Dec 21-(UP)-New York's most sensational divorce trial of recent months-that of Freddie Rich, nationally known or chestra leader, against Peggy Law ton Rich, former Follies girl-wili go today to a jury which must decide if Jack De Ruyter was her platonic friend.
 Mrs Rich and De Ruyter, named by Rich as correspondent, nsisted their friendship was platonic and that nothing could be construed from the fact that De Ruyter was found in her hotel suite at 1:30 a. m. by Rich and private detectives.
 What did you say to your hus- band?" Mrs Rich was asked.
 "I said, are you again under the influence of narcotics and having illusions about me?" She added her husband always had illusions about relations with other men.
 De Ruyter indignantly denied the testimony of other witnesses that he was not properly clad. He had his coat and vest off, he ad- mitted, because it was Q hot night.
 Mrs Rich said she went to the Hotel St Mortiz because her hus- band changed the lock on their apartment and wouldn't let her in even to get her clothes. She was forced to accept financial assist ance from Mrs Taylor Campbell. society dowager and De Ruyter's aunt, and also from his wealthy father. De Ruyter called on her merely because she was a frfend of the family, she testified.
