Since ever the world began,
Just two have lived, and two have died,
In lowly mien, in lordly pride.
The rogue and the honest man.
After all and after all,
The classes are but two;
And both are rich and both are poor,
And both still know as they knew before
The things they ought to do.
After all and after all,
Escape 1t We never can;
Only the choice of one have we,
And you must be and must be
A rogue or an honest man.

raigned openly, thereby causing social
CONSERVATION. Every active church
worker should examine himself care
fully, in the light Of this tremendous
passage Of Scripture, remembering that
the blistering woe unto you" was ad-
dressed to the professionally religious,
and not to the outcast and disreputable.
Never was this particular teaching of
Jesus more timely than now. This is
the era Of revolt against class domi-
nance. The churches feel this. We
have entered the day of democracy;
and democracy demands and must
have sincerity as its basis. Only true
men are fit to govern themselves and
one another The moment pretense
arrives, real democracy begins to de-
part. Truth in the inward parts" is
the very life blood of democracy
And for that Jesus pleaded. Woe,
and only woe, awaits the person who
builds up religious life primarily for
other peoples eyes to see. Religion is
not reputation: it Is character. 1t is
the hidden, godward side of life. The
Father Who seeths in secret" is its
judge and rewarder. The faith taught
by the Master and the apostles is a life
hid" with Christ in God; it shuns the
street corners and the chief seats
There Is nothing professional or SELF
parading about it.
The Good Time Coming.
Everybody Is asking how We are
going to solve our clamorous social
problems. Some look over-eagerly to
legislation. Others put their hope in
the slow processes OF education. Still
others merely trust to luck
But the Jesus way, as here indicated,
Is the fundamental way. He wants
a social order based upon sincerity
and service. His program for better
world is by better men and women.
The kingdom which He established
and upon which He pinned His faith,
is made up of individuals who accept
His platform and share His life.
Just now there is being organized
as a consequence OF last summers
world conferences in oxford and Edin-
burgh, committee which shall be the
voice Of Professionalism. in all its divi-
sions The project has its perils, as
well as its advantages. 1t reflects the
organization mood of our era, which,
in politics. expresses itself in the to-
talitarian state. 1t uprears the figure
of authority Whereas Jesus was con-
tent to establish His kingdom upon the
foundation of individual personal dis
cipleship. His call is to men and
women, boys and girls, one by one,
to walk His way. to follow Him.
There have been areas wherein re-
ligious thought overemphasized indi-
vidualism. but forever the need abides
for men and women whose lives are
kept right in the sight of God. Among
the friends of Jesus there is no di-
vorce evil, no scandal of double living.
no oppression Of other men, no cruel
wealth and no bitter poverty. When
the religion of the spirit reigns and
people live with the supreme ambi-
ton to be we'll pleasing unto Christ,
the inside Of the cup is clean, even If
the outside 1t not polished.
