Lesson Text: Matthew 5:1-16

For three weeks, interrupted
next week by the consideration
of a temperance lesson. our les
SON will be taken from what is
referred to as the Sermon on the
Mount. Whether this represents
summary of the teachings OF
Jesus or a comprehensive ad-
dress upon one certain occasion
makes very little difference. In
it, the New Testament has its
counterpart to the Ten Command.
ments.
No one can read these three
chapters in Matthew Is, 6 and y
without being moved by the high
ideals and lofty vision which they
contain. Burke. the great Eng
lishman, said this was the most
impressive political document
which ever set forth the rights
of man. This is true enough, fol
in these teachings Jesus dealt
with human character in its rela-
tionship to God and mankind
And Arnold Bennett says it con-
tains the final, practical wis
DOM. )
The goal of mans struggle fol
countless ages has been happi-
ness. It has been sought in many
various ways and thought to be ir
many different things. Jesus lays
down the perfect rule by which
every human heart can find bless
edness, which means happiness
of the highest type, founded upor
those things which never perish
and which are indestructible, be-
yond the interference or denia
of any other man, thus making
happiness for any being depend
solely upon the attitude towards
life of the particular individual.
Proclaiming his famous Beat,
tudes", Jesus announced a phil
osophy which ran in contradiction
to the accepted values of man
kind, yet offered a spiritual pro.
gram which could not fail tC
bring the benefits of complete
happiness to those who genuine
ly accepted it. Those of US who
are seeking happiness should
bear in mind that it does not
come as a spontaneous offering
but to obtain it we must fulfill
the essential conditions. If We dc
this we merit and will receive the
inherent and inevitable fruits OF
our thinking and acting.
Strange as it may seem, Jesus
promised a great reward to those
who were discontinued over their
lack of right things. The poor ir
spirit, those conscious of their
own spiritual imperfection; the
mourners, those who were alive
to sin, sensitive to the incomplete
ness of the world; the seekers aft
er Righteousness, those who real
lied their own deficiency and
were striving towards the goal OF
a more perfect life-to these Je-
sus declared would belong the
kingdom of heaven, with its
strength, patience and attainment
of desires.
To the meek, those who knew
self-restraint, who practiced self
control, rather than to the strong
and cunning, Jesus promised the
earth as u heritage. How surpris
ing is this declaration to a worlc
accustomed to the power Of
wealth and of military forces. Yet

press said that the American Medi-

opinion that the family general

The American Medical Associa-
ton would never criticize such a
statement. So far as I know, the
American Medical Association is
strongly in favor Of developing as
many general practitioners as pos
sible, and thoroughly agrees that
they are indispensable to the COM
munity and the nation. What is
criticizable in the book is Doctor
Jerger's tendency to indicate that
he handled cases successfully where
other doctors fell down. Often ne
leaves the impression that doctors IN

A case in point is one he relates
on page 277. He says that mother

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

THE LIVING room of the par
sonage had been the scene of many
dramas. There people came with
their griefs, their joys, their con-
tidences, to ask for comfort or to
be married. But always, Sarah
Anne unused, standing thSre in the
circle of lamplight which laid in
lambert shadows on the floor, the
secrets had belonged to others.
This time it was she who came
came with something she could not
say.
To Corrinne she could tell the
truth. Her own world, which had
seen so much of the material, the
artificial, pass away forever, could
look at truth clearly and not be
afraid or ashamed to admit a hurt
or loss. Her age had come into an
acceptance of one another's prob
lens.
But that older group still pre-
tended. A girl could not say to her
father: Jack discovered he loved
Judy instead of me. I'm pretty bad
ly bowled over, but I'll get better"
Or could she? What would this
man with the kind, penetrating
eyes and the strong chin answer
then? A little imp stirred in Sarah
Anne's own eyes. She put down the
shoes, sat down on the deep, COM
Portable, shabby old sofa with its
rose and green cushions
"Jack thought he flew back to
mel kind of thought so, too-but
it was Judy. So that's that"
The man nodded slowly. "It's a
bad break, Sarah Anne. But you
get over things. Memory becomes
a series of pictures on a cinema
screen. It's fortunate"
II know" The little lump in her
throat wasn't breaking up. It was
getting tighter and tighter. pretty
soon you forget where the ghost
lies buried. Is that it?"
"Well, not precisely, but you stop
carrying bouquets to the spot" Her
fathers eyes twinkled. "You get
well and you fall in love again and
get married." His voice became
matter-of-fact. II did,"
You did" The brown eyes Wild
ened. "Now this is something! It
makes you less Of a preacher and
a father, more Of man who knows
the ropes. Excuse me, but I'm glad
you did get a romantic wallop. I
mean, since you were cured"
"Oh, I'm well, thanks. But you
might enjoy the story. It was back
in Ohio. I was long-legged coun-
try boy working his way through
college, trying to decide whether
to preach Or take up law, and writ
ing letters-when I could get
money for postage-to a girl back

who was about to be taken to hos
pital for an operation. Two spe-
cialists were in consultation, and
they said that the boy had loose
cartilage in one of his knees. They
showed an x-ray picture of the knee,
saying, "There is really no point in
delaying the operation"
Doctor Jerger said, "Let me see
picture of the other knee"
None Taken
eve haven't taken any," the spe.
cialists replied. "There was no need
to. There is nothing wrong with
the other knee"
When the photograph of the other
knee was taken, it was seen that
there was condition there exactly
the same as in the knee which was to
be operated on. In other words, the
condition in the bad knee was natu-
raj and not abnormal.
The idea is left that Doctor Jer-
ger was good deal smarter than
the specialists because he asked for
picture of the other knee. Now, as
matter of fact, it is fundamental
rule in surgery to examine the
sound" side as we'll as the allegedly
diseased side. In other words, every
surgeon always examines both an
kles when one is said to be injured.
/. do not believe that the average
doctor, specialist or general prac-
tltloner would ever think of operat-
ing on knee until he had an x-rav
picture of both knees.
