Weekly Sunday School Lesson----
 CHRISTIAN AS CHURCH MEMBER

piled that she was, but 1t was found that she meant that she was
 a Christian as distinguished from
 a pagan or a Mohammedan. It did not mean that Christian
 truth and Christian ideals had
 taken any very deep root in her
 heart or life.
 Church membership may be a very form al thing. To be 8 Chris
 tian is a very real thing. We l ought, of course, to distinguish be-
 tween sincerity of purpose in a very imperfect character and high
 fidelity to the ideal.
 We must recognize that many people who are weak or immature
 In this Christian lives are, never theless, sincere and right-minded. They need to be educated and guided in the Christian way, and
 they need to grow in grace In Christ.
 It is instructive to remember that
 early church members were not
 ideal in every respect. Paul found
 1t necessary to rebuke many of the learly church members, even for the
 imni orality of their practices and
 for their evil tempers.
 And in the inner circle of desci- ples, before the church had been
 formally organised, Jesus com plaiued more than once of the
 blindness of his disciples and of
 their failure to understand or
 manifest his simple teaching con-
 cerning love and brotherliness. Nevertheless, the ideal of church membership is high, and the true church member would be a true Christian as well. Jesus gives a
 beautiful picture of the character
 and privilege of the true disciple
 in his reference to Christians as the "salt of the earth" and the Tight of the world"
 The world today sitll needs those who will let their light so
 shine before men that others may
 see their good works and glorify
 God.
 We shall hardly expect that in
 the modern world church mem-
 bers and Christians are likely to
 take the precepts of the gospel
 so literally that they shall follow the example of the early Christians in selling their possessions and
 goods and holding things in com mon.
 It is debatable issue in a prac- tical world whether that would be
 the best way of attaining the re-
 suits to be sought in providing for the needs of every man. At tho same time, one must recognize that not even communism can lay a higher obligation upon man than is laid by the law of Christian love and brotherhood.
 After all, our religion is tested by the measure of our responsibil- ity for one another, and by the manifestation of love and sympathy
 in practical ways.
 It is doubtful how much we can do by law and governmental agencies to bring about the ideal association of man with man. At any rate, it Is true that beneath all laws and governmental action there
 must be in true society the im- pulses of love and helpfulness. It is only as men accept and
 share the common life and re- responsibilities that society can at-
 tain 8 high degree of welfare.

 "Mortals and Immortals'' will be the subject of the Lesson-S Sermon.
 The Golden Text is taken from Romans 8,21: "The creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God"
 Bible readings include the fol- lowing passage from Isaiah 25: g.: And 1t shall be said in that day; Lo, this Is our God; we <have wait- ed for him, and he will save us: this Is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and re- joice in his salvation" Correlative readings from the Christian S,cie nee textbook "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following cita- tion from page 261: 32: Good demands of man every hour, in which to work out the problem of being. Conservation to good does not lessen mans dependence on God, but heightehs 1t. Neither does conservation diminish mans obli- gations to God. but shows the para
 mount necessity of meeting them. Christian Science takes naught from the perfection of God, but it ascribes to Him the entire glory. By putting of the old man with his deeds mortals put on imr1or- ta1ity.'"

PRIEST URGES
 WHIPPING POST

Omoha, Neb = (U.P.) The
 whipping post is the only punish ment fit for fathers habitually guilty delinquency in the care of their children, according to Father
 E. J. Flanagan, head of Father Flanagan's Boys Home here. While the director of the non- sectarian institution does not pro- pose to take the law into his own
 hands and administer the fiog- gings. he nevertheless recommends welfare agencies consider it as a means of eliminating one of their most pressing problems.
 With many small boys under his care, Father Flanagan has often pointed out a fathers first duty is the care of his children. Juvenile court records show. he said. that Q
 large portion of juvenile delin- quency is due to lack of paternai
 interest in the youngsters.
 Since our legislative bodies are now so solicitlous fin passing laws to protect society against kidnap- CTS and other extreme criminals. why shouldn't they 70 . little farther and pass some laws which might in some measure punish bad fathers who are contributing to. ward juvenile doiinquency7" Father EianaEan declared.
