The Right Motive For Business


The day has come when it is
necessary to do straight thinking
which calls for the right sort of an
education gained either by indi-
vidual study or by means of edu-
cational institutions. Since schools
and colleges afford special oppor-
tunities for the securing of an edu-
cation, opportunities extended to
the underprivileged to attend
school, offer opportunities to men
to provide these advantages for
needy boys and girls.
In Cleveland, O., lived Joe Lucas,
a negro, the proprietor of shoe
shining stand. He had received a
good education, and was once offer
ed position with Booker T. Wash
ington. For ten years Joe Lucas
remained at his stand without sin
gle vacation. There he always
kept ten young negroes at work, all
of whom attended night school or
college. The business could have
been conducted with smaller force
and larger profits, but Mr.. Lucas
decided he could stand the expense
of ten boys in school. He conduct
ed his business as an opportunity
to render service.-D. Carl Yoder.

What was Christ's command OF
influence?
What was His standard of right
eousness?
What was His rule regarding in
juries?
What is His command regarding
our enemies?
How can persecution be bless
ing?
How is it possible to love every
body?
What is it to be perfect as taught
in this lesson?
Glorious says: Righteousness is
the highest attainment and the fin
est and fullest satisfaction of the
soul, the concord that puts all it's
powers in tune, the bread that
feeds all it's faculties, and they

for the record of the mountain top
experience of Christ with his dis

and thirst.
v. Z. blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy" Those
are merciful who are so affected by
the sufferings of others as to be dis
posed to alleviate them. The
natural outcome of one that is
merciful is the reward of the joy
of mercy.
". 8. Blessed are the pure in
heart, for they shall see God" The
pure in heart are those whose
minds, motives and principles are
pure; who seek not only to have
the conduct correct, but who desire
to be holy in heart and who are
really so. The heart is to be like
pure gold which in molten state
reflects perfectly, SO that to one
with a pure heart God is reflected.
v 8. blessed are the peace
makers, for they shall be called the
children of God" Peacemakers
are those who strive to prevent
contentious, strife and war; who
use their influence to reconcile op-
posing parties; many deadly quar-
rels might be prevented by kindly
interference by Christian counsel.
Those who promote peace among
men are like God, and may well be
called his children.
V. 10. blessed are they which
are prosecuted for righteousness
sake, for theirs is the kingdom of
God" Those who stand for the
right in all places and at all times
must pay the price of being ignor-
ed, derided and prosecuted. The
reward for this class is the same as
in the first beatitude
VS.. II, 12. blessed are ye
when men shall reproach you and
persecute you and say all manner
of evil against you falsely for my
sake. Rejoice and be exceeding
glad for great is your reward in
heaven; for so prosecuted they the
prophets which were before you"
So important is it that all Christ's
followers must realize that surely
they will be tested to the limit,
that the possibility of persecution
is repeated, but there is an assur-
ance of great reward.
VS.. 43-48. All law is fulfilled
in the experience of perfect love of
God, in which each follower of the
Lord is to have an experience so
fundamental that the beatitudes of
this lesson is a natural outcome.

Standards of the Kingdom, Matth-
ew .1-12, 43-48, for Sunday, Jan.
28.
From the mountain pulpit, our
Lord preached the sermon that con-
tains the laws of the kingdom OF
God and is the New Testament Ten
Commandments.
VS.. /, 2. "And seeing the multi
tude, he went up into the mountain;
and when he had sat down. his dis
ciples came to him, and he opened
his mouth and taught them say
ing" Since so many had been heal
ed and blessed, it was very natural
that the crowd would follow Christ
up on the mountain where he had
evidently planned conference with
his newly called disciples; since
Christ meant first of all to care for
the spiritual life, he used this oc-
casion to present his great sermon
containing the New Testament prin-
ciples
v. 8. BLESSED are the poor in
spirit for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven" The poor in spirit are
these who realize their poverty of
soul without the Lord enthroned
within to reign, and rule the mo-
tives and desires. It is only to such
persons that the kingdom of God
can come. where Christ reigns there
his kingdom comes.
mourn, for they shall be comfort
ed" This mourning has to do with
sincere repentance, so that peace
and comfort might follow.
v. 5. BLESSED are the meek,
for they shall inherit the EARTH
Meekness is humility, gentleness
and patience of disposition. The
proud, the ambitious, the rich, may
appear nominally to have much of
earthly things, but they do not real
ly enjoy them, and not enjoying
them they do not really possess
them. Only the meek appreciate all
true benefits to be drawn from the
earth.
V. 6. BLESSED are they which do
hunger and thirst after righteous
ness, for they shall be filed To
hunger and thirst after thing is
to feel that you need it, you de-
sire it, you must have it. To be
right and to do right constitutes
Righteousness. Christ provides full
satisfaction for spiritual hunger

How Get Pupils To Study?

There are three factors that
must be considered when attempt
ing to have pupils make lesson
preparation. First, the leader must
not only make ass gnments for the
next lesson, but the element of
time and definiteness must enter in
SO that the following lesson is duly
connected with the last one, the
rupil's interest being aroused in
the defin te task assigned. Second,
the teacher must develop in the pu-
pill the art of studying, which can
be done by concrete examples and
demonstration in the class. Third,
the teacher must know thoroughly
the subject he is teaching. IT the
teacher knows and is thoroughly
interested in his subject, likely his
enthusiasm will be caught by the
pupils.

The CWA Crisis

In the face of rapidly Gwindling
funds. which can be replenished by
act of congress only, the CWA has
reached the critical point where
something has to be done. 1t stood
to reason that ultimately read
justments would have to be made.
These were necessary to overcome
mistakes which resulted mainly
from the hurried projection of this
national enterprise as an emer-
gency relief measure.
The old saying that butter spread
thin covers the most bread would
apply in the case of the CWA. The
chief mistake of the CWA, we'll in
tentioned though it was, was in
setting the wage scale too high. Not
only did it compete with industry,
but in many instances exceeded the
wages private employers were able
to pay. There were cases of men
quitting their regular jobs to join
the CWA.
The CWA has aided agnificently
in bolstering up the morale of mil
lions. 1t gave them new hope. il
gave them good Christmas; it
provided food and other comforts.
Now, with depleted funds, reduction
in wages and actual layoffs are to
be resorted to, although it was hop
ed that the CWA might continue in
operation at least until spring. OF
course it is more than likely that it
will do SO yet, with reasonable re-
adjustments being made as dictated
by experience.
The hope is for the PWA and in
dustry to absorb the workers of the
CWA, and in theory by the time the
PWA has completed it's projects
conditions will have improved so
that the unemployment slack will
be taken up.
Pouring out of millions. even in
such a meritorious undertaking as
the CWA, must of course have an
end at some time. The work will
run out, as well as the funds.-O.
