and endeavor are promised rewards,
both spiritual and temporal. That
person Is living in the spirit OF the
law of the Lord who is forever ask
ing, seeking, knocking. The Chris
tian life is an endless endeavor after
the best.
And Jesus pledges the very nature
of God to satisfaction of this
search. The good Father in Heaven
is more eager to meet the desires
of His children than any earthly
father.
The Golden Rule.
Hidden in the heart of the Ser
mon on the Mount is the supreme
program for everyday living. The
world has learned to call it the
Golden Rule: whatsoever We would
that men should do unto you, even
so do We also unto them" So simple
is this mighty statement that little
children memorize it; so vast its
implications that, if needed, it would
give us a WarlesS world and a social
order that would spell happiness for
all.
Negative statements of the same
truth were made by earlier philoso-
pliers than Jesus. But He accented
the positive side He would not have
a jellyfish world, merely refraining
from evil. DO is His word. For, be
it ever remembered, the Christian
life is an active one. 1t means
growth, service and accomplishment.
AS has been said, Only the
Golden Rule can bring in the
Golden Age" There are hundreds of
programs for social reconstruction
now being offered to the public. But
none approaches in effectiveness the
sublime simplicity of this Divine
mandate. For it is a mandate, a
commandment. an explicit declara-
ton of the will of God.
The Termites Of Criticism.
Another point, vitally touching
everyday life, is stressed by Jesus
in the section of His discourse that
we are considering. 1t is the matter
of uncharitable criticism, Doubtless
in His day, as in ours, there were
many superior persons who
thought it a virtue to be able to find
fault with others. This is almost the
extent of the culture of some shall
low spirits. They deem their gift of
censoriousneSS quality of merit.
Instead of self amendment, they are
engrossed in criticism of others.
know small towns which dwell in
dread of what they say" All public
enterprise is killed by fear of neigh
borly criticism. The people are really
terrorized by the tongues of those
about them Yet. furtively, the place
is alive with uncharitable and acid
tongued comment upon the lives and
actions of neighbors. The termites
of uncharitableneSs are steadily eat
ing away the pillars of community
life.
Naturally. the Great Teacher of
character and conduct could not
ignore this disposition in human
nature. So He said, Judge not that
ye be not judged For the spirit in
which we judge returns inevitably to
judge us. 1t seems almost as if the
Master were poking fun at this
human frailty, as He used Oriental
hyperbole in describing the man
with log in his own eve trying the
remove splinter from his brothers
eve. Fault finding is foolish and
futile

All the deep things of life have be-

Eternally. life is questing. All OF

to this spirit. One central IDEA OF
the portion of the Sermon on the

lesson is His adjuration to be ever

The multitude of loafers-physically,

many communities which have been
standing still for decades. Ambition,
adventure, achievement are alien to
many lives. They never attempt
