to echoing the words of Fisherman
Peter, which are our lesson text.
The world is afresh confronting the
basic and pre-eminent power of re-
ligion.
Good people alone can make a
good state and good world. Re-
ligion has done more for the better
ment of mankind than all the in
ventions and discoveries and organ
izations of history. While science
has made an indescribable horror of
modern war, it is religion which still
labors for peace and good will.
Look at the W lid about us. Is
this strenuous modern time. with it's
mad search for sensations of pleas
ure, really happy? The high per-
centage of suicides and divorces. the
homes that have lost their tranquil
lity, the pettiness of the interests of
the multitudes. all make clear an
swer. Watch the faces of pedes-
trians on the city street; how few
Of them wear the signature of peace
and joy Listen to the physicians
telling of the increase of nervous
diseases. Something is wrong with
the handspring of life.
The happiest companies I see are
at religious gatherings, especially of
the plain people. They have learned
the secret of good living. which is
found in loyalty to the will of God,
and in personal experience of
Jesus Christ. That their number is
legion, and that their stabilizing in
fluence is the greatest factor for
safety in the Nation is the surest
ground of hope for the worlds well
fare.
Real Social Service.
The high and mighty are nova
days discovering anew that our hope
is in religion, and in the kind of
lives it shapes. Friends of God do
not do the things that hurt them
selves or their neighbors. They are
not the partiSans of the "isms' that
imperil the world. So strong is their
influence in the direction of sound
conduct, of personal character, of
free individuality, that the Stains,
Hitlers, Mussolinis and japanese are
openly depressing them. Japan S
pagan efforts to destroy Christian
ity in Korea are a current case in
point. The gospel of Christ makes
men free and friendly, and so is
opposed by the dictators.
Does not this indicate a clear line
OF strategy for the craftsmanship
of democracy? How better serve
freedom and justice and peace in
this danger-fraught age than by
strengthening the forces of religion?
More important than any law that
will be passed in Washington or
Ottawa is the gathering into the
Sunday schools of all faiths the
100000 young people who are
without any religious instruction

II by example and precept all our
leading citizens were to promote
church attendance, they would be
strengthening the Nation at its
foundations.
Social service" has become a
modern shibboleth; and not all of
Its connotations are good. We have
so mechanical the term that we do
not think of applying it to the hun
dred thousand preachers and to the
two million Sunday school teachers
who, week after week, in tireless
self-spending, shape the lives of bows
and girls, men and women into
godliness. There Is no other form
Of social service abroad in the land
that is so fundamentally effective as
the work of the unsalaried Sunday
school teachers.
The Great Change.
Just as Pentecost was followed by
a social revolution among the be-
levers, so, in the history of the
early church, conversion led to
complete change in character. The
dynamite of God exploded old lives
and fertilized new ones. It is to
be borne in mind that those first
gentle Christians came out of raw
paganism. Even the decadent DAYS
which we have been witnessing were
no such flesh-serving, pleasure-lov-
ing, character-destroying times as
ultimately caused the fall of Greece
and Rome. The theme song of the
early church might well have been,
"Oh, What a Change!"
Many passages in the New Testa-
ment exhort disciples not to con-
form to their environment, but to
be transformed The gospel even
made Christian city out of rotten
old Antioch. Peter gives a glimpse
of the conditions from which friends
of Jesus should escape in one of
the lesson passages: "Ye no longer
should live the rest of your time in
the flesh to the lusts of men, but to
the will of God. For the time past
may suffice to have wrought the
desire of the gentiles, and to have
walked in lasciviousness, lusts, wine
bibbings, revelings, carousings and
abominable idolatries, wherein they
think it strange that We run not
with them into the same excess of
riot, speaking evil of you"
Enemies of All That Hurts,
"Otherism" might be a good label
for the Christian program. In the
face of powerful unsocial practices,
Christians stand out against all that
hurts neighbor. In Old Testa-
ment and New, the Bible cries out
against whatever practices hinder
the common well-being. Especially
do Christians oppose the liquor traf-
flc, which has an immeasurable rec
ord Of woe to its discredit. This
present lesson is meant to be used
in its temperance implications.
After many years as working
newspaperman, and as foreign cor
respondent, cannot recall a single
instance wherein my being a total
abstainer has been of disadvantage
to me. On the other hand, I have
sometimes been able to scoop" the
other reporters because my brain
was clear. Why should not a young
man give himself the benefit of un-
impaired and unfettered powers by
refraining entirely from liquor? The
old saying, Where there's drink
there's danger" is still profoundly
true. The good life, which is the
Christians goal, is a sober one.
