Weekly Short Sermon
THE LORDS PRAYER
By DIR. "A. G: Bearer

(For The Literary Service Bureau)
Text: Forgive us our debts, as we
forgive our debtors.-Matthew Gil.
In this petition several things are
emphasized.
1. Mans Proneness to Sin. The
giving of this petition is evidence of
the S%aviour's knowledge of human
nature and its ~proneness to sin or
trespass.
2. Gods Willingness to Forgive
The advice to ask forgiveness shows
His knowledge Of the disposition Of
the Father to forgive our transgres-
sions and trespasses.
3. Our Forgiveness Depends on
Our Action in Forgiving Others.
Matthew records "Forgive US our
debts as we forgive u debtors.
This means "since we have forgiven"
In Luke lila the petition reads:
Forgive US our sins as we also for
give every one that is indebted to US.
In either Ease it is making our own
forgiveness pendant on u action in
forgiving others. In this very pass
age Jesus emphatically declares:
"For if We forgive men their tres
passes, your heavenly Father will
also forgive you" And He added
"But if you forgive not men their
trespasses, neither will your Father
for give your trespasses."
Let us realize that the forgiveness
of others is a matter of utmost neces-
sity, if we are to be forgiven, and
that it is a principle Of justice and
equity.

SEEING WHTTs
D. A d Man.

In the Literary Digest sometime ago
there was an article under the caption
Christ, but not our Christianity, for
India. ;" The article begins:
Certain men in the East, assert
an Indian philosopher, spenr their
nights in cursing God because He al
lowed Western civilizers to get into
their lands, and the Indian Social Re-
former, a Hindu-edited paper, says
that the Christian missionary has no
chance for a hearing, now, unless he
distinguishes between Christ and
Christianity, and between Christian
ity and Western Civiization."
In Baltimore, a few years ago, an
East Indian convert expressed a SINH
ar opinion. Indignant at mistreat-
ment, this is what he said
81 cannot understand the American
white man.. He come to my country,
where we worship a million gods, and
he tells us about his Christ. I like
his Christ and come over here to
learn about him, then go back and get
my people to give up their million
gods and like his Christ. He gets
me over here and he calls me mig
ger"
He told of an incident, saying, "I
start into a show and the white man
push me back, saying You can't
come in here, you niger I tell him
no; niger low, mean; you the niger.
Then, in all seriousness he concluded,
81 like Christ; l do like Christ, but
damn the American White mani" 1t
will be remembered that students in
the universities of Japan rose up in
rebellion against white teachers to-
ward the Japanese. Just a few months
prohibited the showing Of Ben Hur
because t was considered Christian
propaganda. In these incidents is
found conclusive evidence Of the re
volt of the heather, as we call them,
against the American white mans
race prejudice which so emphatically
c~ontradicts his teachings concerning
justice, equity, love, and brotherhood.
The one great hope of Christianity in
it's work is that those who are thus
incensed shall be able to discriminate
between Christ and the actions of
those who confess Him with their
mouths and deny Him by their
actions.

Dunbar's turkey story, the shrewd
Negro who claimed to have a "pos-
sum" in his bag when he had a hog,
and others Of their ilk are used to
commend the sagacity Of the Negro,
but they emphasize his dishonesty,
or the prevalent accusation Of dis
honesty.
Not long ago, at a meeting of min
listers and laymen, a layman told of
a Negro who had chicken often and
told his pastor he prayed for chicken.
When the pastor informed the broth
er that he had prayed yet failed to
get chicken, the brother remarked,
well, elder, you knows de Lawd
don't deliver nothin'-"
To match this a high churchman
told Of an old Negro who was sick.
The doctor advised: Eat chicken
broth and stay in out of the night
air" The sick man inquired, But,
doc, how ken l eat chicken broth and
stay in outen de night air?"
In both cases the inference was
that Negroes steal the chickens they
eat.
think it is evident that we are in
consistent when we use these stories
which reflect, and then object when
others use them.

All that remains to be said is that
you should have been out Sunday.
This Was a day richful from the

is to die to self; die to w~orldiness;
die to publicity and live for Christ
alone. At $50 p. m. Elder H. P.
Morgan brought US a rich message,
Exodus End chapter and the 18th
verse.

Caution In Forming Marriage Ties

1t used to b ethat before marri-
age engagements were made parents
made investigation. They gave at
tention to the Family tree of the
prospective groom or bride. Present
health, moral standing of the family,
hereditary weakness, temperament
and disposition were among the
things seriously considered. A girl
who was reminded of the necessity
for getting a slant" of the family of
her sutton, scornfully remarked, "I'm
not marrying his family, I'm marry
ing him." But this fri was mistaken.
By marriage and the birth of child
rem, a girl connects her family with
the past, the present and the future
of her husbands family. Once they
are married and the children come, no
power can ever unscramble the fami-
lies.
In the other days when parents
were more cautious and children were
forced to do so, they took time;
they made investigation They could
not use the modern terms like,
eugenics epthenics, heredity, but
they knew the principles which they
involved. They knew something of
cause and effect" They used what
they knew. And there were happier
children.

CENSURE NOT

(For The Literary Service Bureau)
Condemn not those who tried and
failed,
'Gainst whom misfortune dire pre-
vailed,
For you can tell, / wot,
When failure such shall be your lot.
Don't mock others in their defeat,
From vantage ground forced to re-
treat,
For you may be the next to know
Defeat by some malicious foe.
Don't scorn those who lie helpless,
broke
By some misfortune's cruel stroke,
For you some day may helpless lie,
While priest and Levite pass you by.

AS they may drain cups of gall,
Show mercy, for fate may decree,
That such may your own potion be.
