with man, that our JOY may be made
full" There is no Joy when person
is out of fellowship with his family,
his Work-fellows, his time and his God.
We prate much nowadays about
brotherhood, as If it were superb
cial thing, to be attained, with all Of
its consequences, by legislation or by
mass movements or by organization.
Actually, brotherhood is result of
fatherhood. Men may meet in the real
fellowship of brotherhood only at the
feet Of the Heavenly Father, and in
acceptance of His will. We shall be
good brothers of our fellow men only as
we are good children OF our Father.
Everything that perturbed world
seeks, through democracy, Socialism,
Communism, Fascism or autocracy
may really be attained only by the
brotherhood which is enfolded in the
purpose Of God
The Ugly Three Letter Word.
Gentle John employs the ugly three
letter word as he writes about those
who think that religious professions
or church membership are sufficient
In the burning light of Scripture it is
impossible to cloak evil and lawless
deeds beneath pious creeds. Weigh
carefully these explicit and stern
words:
IF we say that we have fellowship
with Him, and walk in darkness, we
lie, and do not the truth. But If we
walk in the light as He is in the light.
we have fellowship one with another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanseth us from all sim"
The Most Daring Dream of All.
In other words. a genuine and ideal
society is not merely reformed; it is
redeemed Sharers of a great ex-
perience Of God-the highest attain
ment of which human nature is capa-
ble-are welded into a oneness that
obliterates all the divisions which vex
mankind. Jesus commonly called this
brotherly state the Kingdom of
Heaven, or the Kingdom of God. He
regarded it as the ultimately normal
life. Such was His stupendous as
sumption. Who can deny that toward
such a consummation. by processes
understood only by Divine wisdom
and patience, the whole creation has
been progressing in travail through
out the ages?
Just as old Jerusalem, as some of
us know it well, is dirty. dark, smelly
and sordid, so the New Jerusal lem
which the seer of Patmos held is
beautiful and bright and fearless and
joyous, and filled with the fellowship
OF those who hold in common life's
deepest and dearest qualities.
OF the early Christians it used to
be said. in wonderment, Behold how
these Christians love one another. ."
Their fellowship was a symbol of
their faith. Despite their self -centered
sufficiency, our great Christian COM
munions today are surely facing
toward the same objective. Their
goal is church with a common spirit
OF brotherhood, embracing all men
everywhere. BY this shall all men
know that ye are My disciples, If We
have love one to another"

cember IL is Christian Fellowship. -

Nevertheless, I still firmly believe

That Men May Brothers Be.
Deep in their hearts. all men are
hungry for a better life. The war
and the years since have wiped the
smile of happiness off the face of
most of humanity. In the magazine
section of the New York Times re-
Gently there were several large pic
