| (The International Uniform Lesson
on the above topic for Feb 10 is Mark
J 52:23-::6, the Golden Text being Mark
2:27, "And he said unto them, TIL
sabbath was made for nan.")
OUR LORDS increasing popularity
with the people brought down upon
him increasing criticism from the
Pharisees. We see this criticism at
a feast, then we see it at fast, now
we see it again in the fields where
his disciples shelled wheat and ate it
on the saisbath LAY.
81 Critics in the Field.
cit came TO pass, that he was going
on the sabbath day through the grain
fields; and his disciples began, as they
went, to pluck the ears. And the
Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why
do they on the sabbath day that which
is not lawful" This was a favoritc
battle ground on which our Lords
enemies chose to attack him, there
being six such attacks recorded in the
New Testament. But our Lord sane
toned no policy Of notification of
Gods law which read, Remember the
sabbath day to keep it holy" He came
not to destroy this law isut to fulfill
it. His idea of the sabbath was that
it was intended to minister blessings
to mankind and not curse; it was to
be "a blessing not a burden. God had
not forbidden men to eat on the sab
bath day. He made men to hunger on
the sabbath day as on other days. The
hunger of a healthy body, was there
fore, sacred and might be satisfied
on a sacred day without sacrilege.
Jesus even cited the example of
David in permitting his men, an sab
bath day, to take the sacred show
bread of the house Of God, and eat it,
despite the fact that it was intended
for the priests and not for: the laymen
David's men were in Gods service as
truly as were the priests, and they
were, therefore, sacred as were the
bread and the day, and there was nc
incongruity in the act So it was with
Jesus disciples that day in the grain
field. He clinched his teaching on this
question by enunciating the funda-
mental principle, "The sabbath was
made for man, and not man for the
atbath, so that the Son of Man is
lord even of the sabbath
God made institutions like the sab
tath, governments, and the like, for
men. not men for them. How, in any
Given circumstances, the sabbath
should be observed to minister the
greatest spiritual blessing to man and
the greatest glory to God, each one
must determine for himself in the
light of Gods law and Gods love- out
Of which grew the sabbath.

b. Give employers equal rights and

G. Do not interfere with wage scales

ditions demand.

blems will help farmers more than

him on the sabbath day; that they
might accuse him" These men of
withered souls had in their souls
neither sympathy for suffering hui
mainly nor reverence for God, So
Jesus, in utter contempt of the trap
they had set for him "saith unto the
man that had the withered hand,
Stand FORTH Then Of his murderous
critics he demanded, us it lawful on
the sabbath day to do good, or to do
harm to save a life or to kill? But
they held their peace" Then, grieved
at the hardening of their hearts, he
healed the man. "And the Pharisees
went out, and straightway with the
'Herodians took counsel against him,
how they might destroy him."
Thus they proved that all they had
contended for was prompted not by
love of Gods day but by hatred OF
Gods Son.

and try to apply the Golden Rule. This
is the basic need of today.
2. SPENDING: Federal spending
must be curtailed. Public spending re-
presents cost of production just as
labor, materials and overhead. With
the desire to freeze wages and yet
cut selling prices, other costs besides
overhead and materials must he low
cred. Government expenses are the
result of unproductive costs. They are
the logical item to slash and the
quickest way to cut them is by some
real old-fashioned public economy. TIC
cut off spending abruptly now how
ever, would be deflationary and dan
gerous. Here is my thought:
a. A five-year plan calling for a
graduated hating emergency "aid"
should be enacted now to be put int
effect as soon as the current situation
clears up a little.
b. Local economies should be in
augurated on similar plan and pro-
gram. Local budgets as we'll as fed
eral must be balanced to avoid public
bankruptcy.
3. TAXES: Along with reckless liv-
ing and spending, taxes are the worst
of our troubles. We can commit ma
tional suicide by taxation An imnne-
date tax reform program is essential
Consider the following:
a. Repeal the vicious undivided
profits tax.
b. Broaden the income tax base bv
lowering exemptions.
C. Ease up on certain taxes in the
high income brackets.
d. Cut out the capital gains tax
which discourages initiative
e. Force all public employees to pay
same income taxes as does John @
Citizen.
t. Make new government and NUM-
cipal bonds SUI ect to taxes as are
all other securities.
&. Put social security on a pay-as-
you-go basis with annual assessment
based on actual cost
h. Abolish state tariffs" by scrap
ping local business taxes.
i. Tighten the tax load on over-bur-
dened real estate.
]. Allow money spent out of net
earnings on new building, plant re-
pair, machinery, to be free of taxes.

CHAPTER %

CHAR lEEI I'D
SHOULD have liked to have
felt that the story told by the
parlor-maid was true. She, her
brother and the chauffeur had all
had to fight for existence. I had
caught some glimpses Of that
fght-the girls dreary struggle
through the most sordid kind Of
domestic service at an age when
she should have been at school.
The years of malnutrition and
overwork. And for the men the
loneliness and nerve strain Of a
life into which they had probably
entered half from desperation.
half from want.
But there was that hardness in
Enid, that savagery in Fellowes,
which seemed to prove them
capable of any violent act, if vio-
lence served their turn. And
though I still revolted at the
thought of either Of them having
actually used that knife so horri-
bly,, I no longer felt that they
were innocent of some part in the
crime.
I felt nauseated, suddenly, with
the whole affair. This relentless
tracking down of the criminal
seemed gruesome. Lord Simon,
gently slipping his brandy, so OBJ
viously considered it all to be a
most absorbing game Of chess,
something to occupy a chap"
that for moment I lost all pa
thence with him. And the bril-
liant little Picon, whose human
ity was more evident, he too could
not help enjoying his own efforts
and that disturbed me. Ger
tainly had never known Mgr.
Smith actually to hand a man
over to the law, but even that was
partly because the criminals he
discovered had way Of commit
ting suicide before he revealed
their identity.
Of course, in way, wanted
poor Mary Thurston avenged.
But as I saw the Investigators
with appetites obviously whetted
for the cross-examination they
were about to make Of this hand
some girl, my gusto failed, and I
felt like leaving them to their
questions, and going out into the
air. But my curiosity, Of course,
got the better Of me, so that ]
took another whiskey and soda
and leaned back in my chair to
hear what questions they would
put to Enid, now that they had
reached the point Of discovering
her movements last night.

questions at this point.o
