1t is characteristic of Jesus that
He lifted all truth up to spiritual
levels. He declared that evil desires
were equal to evil acts. His pro-
gram is for spiritual life that
reigns sovereign over bodily desires.
A life is not pure at all unless it
is pure in its central core.
In the light of this high truth,
what shall we say about the books
and magazines and plays and mo-
ton pictures which are designed to
titillate the baSer passions? There
are publishing houses which deal
exclusively IN pornographic works
Even the best of the magazines
at times open their columns to the
inflow of sewer Nth. Decency has
hard, and not wholly successful
fight, to keep sex in its nastier
aspects of the stage and screen.
There are those, disciples of
Freud, who make sex the master
motive of all life. To them, man
is not free spirit, born to pursue
nobel ends worthy of sons of God,
but mere bundle of physical OBJ
sessions. From the ranks of such
we can hope for no great idealists,
no noble public servants, no creators
of happy homes where pure love
reigns.
Children Who Suffer.
The head Of famous school for
boys told me that his greatest prob
lem is the sons of divorced parents,
of whom every private boarding
school has a disproportionate num-
ber. Thus the separated fathers and
mothers get rid of the care of their
unhappy children. For these BOYS
have no anchorage. no home ideals
or standards, no authority to which
to appeal
Such parents will surely have to
answer some day to the Judge who
was Jesus, devoted lover of little
children. His terrible words about
the fate of those who offend the
children still hold true. These VIC
Tins of the sins of fathers and
mothers are to rise up in judgment
against their parents.
Gods wants people to be happy.
His laws. even the sternest of the
Commandments. are designed to
promote the highest human welfare.
He has SO constituted life that
obedience to Him brings happiness.
Disobedience insures misery. When
was a boy in printing Office, one
of the compositors was a manifest
victim of a sin disease. He had be-
come Christian. but the scars of
his old life made him a sufferer for
all to see, and a morose, unsocial,
unhappy creature I contrast him
with a noble and brilliant Y. M. C.
A. man who I got to know in Rus
sia during the war He terminated
a conversation upon Russian i'm
morality by saying simply, There's
something fine about being decent"
That's it: There's something
fine about being decent" Millions
of men and women, who have kept
the Seventh Commandment and
Christs Interpretation of it. find
life strong and sweet and satisfac-
tory. Like Galahad. they can say,
My strength is as the strength of
ten
Because nv heart is pure"
