present power Of God over human
lives. The silent majority of godly
humans does not often find express
sion in the news. Any sort OF
successful athlete commands more
press space than the most potent
Bible Glass teacher.
President Roosevelt, in his radio
address at the outbreak of war, re-
minded the people that, while they
should be neutral In action, they
cannot be neutral in thought. OF
course not. The mark of manhood
Is ability to hold convictions. Every
human being worthy of his heritage
has convictions which he cherishes
as dearer than life. Our concern,
especially in this crisis time, should
be to make sure that our convictions
square with the eternal teachings of
the Bible. We want to think the
thoughts of Jesus after Him.
A Suggestive Mispronunciation.
In a rural church this past sum-
mer I attended a morning service
conducted by the Womens Mission
airy Society. The young woman as
signed to read the Scripture chose
the opening of the Sermon on the
Mount, which she read we'll, except
for one mispronunciation. Thereby
she revealed a great truth for our
times. for she said: "Ye are the salt
of the earth; but If the salt have
lost its SAVIOUR, wherewith shall
it be salted."
That mistake in single word was
to me like a suddenly opened WIN
dow upon great landscape. For
1t revealed what is wrong with the
church and with civilization. Under
the impact of false liberalism, and
of a sordid wordliness, we nave
been losing the Saviour. Powerful
tendencies in our time are dethron-
ing Jesus Christ. The early ardcr
of myraids for Him has been chilled.
Too many sermons are drawn from
the newspaper, rather than from
His sovereign words. The whole
religious situation needs, above all
things else, a return to Christ the
Teacher and Saviour. If the salt
has lost its Saviour, it has lost all
power.
After this war has reached the
point of exhaustion, 1t will find
real and permanent peace only IN
the principles of Jesus, Who came
to save the world from itself and
its sin.

They are the law by which the race

that these succinct sentences, in the

should afford a new platform and

the truth Jesus spoke has been, and

power of the teachings Of Jesus, as
expressed in the changed lives of
Christians:
Jesus was not an organizer of
charity, yet the immediate effect of
His teaching was bloom Of charity
more luxuriant than the world had
ever seen. He was not a labor agi-
tator, yet His teaching undermined
the Roman system of society, gave
new hope to the slave and new self
respect to woman. So dramatic
were these social consequences of
the teaching of Jesus that it has
been frequently described as essen
TALLY a doctrine of social trans
formation as though industrial
changes were His primary aim.
Far from the truth as this con-
clusion may be, it indicates the
ethical scope of the gospels. They
may be searched almost in vain for
social regulations, yet they have
become an unparalleled source of
social inspiration. Their social
principles have transformed the
moral code OF the world.
In the Present Tense.
Oftenest overlooked. yet of pri-
mary Importance, is the fact that
the Beatitudes, which introduce the
Sermon on the Mount, are in the
present tense. They present an ex-
isting condition for the now. They
are not pie in the sky" as the
Communists flippantly say, but food
for today. Blessed are" the poor
in spirit, the mourners, the meek, the
spiritually hungry, the merciful, the
pure in heart, the peacemakers and
the prosecuted.
Happy" is the best coloquial
translation of blessed" and those
who practice the Beatitudes are de-
clared happy in their present con-
dition. For Jesus was most con-
cerned about character, rather than
circumstances, knowing that char
acter, in the long run, shapes cir
cumstances. Therefore He had the
audacity to declare that those whom
the world despises, but whose souls
are attuned to eternal truthf are
the really happy ones.
In addition to future rewards
"all this and Heaven, too"-they have
won the great plus of life. They
already are blessed. They have
Divine approval, a peace that the
world cannot know or take away.
They walk the way.
One New York Editor.
Beyond cavil or question. the null
titude of persons who seek to con-
form their lives to the standards of
Jesus are the really determinative
force in the Nations life. Any one
who thinks otherwise is simply not
posted. I talked with a New York
editor recently who seemed sin
cerely to believe that night clubs
theaters, movies and sports are the
public's real interest. The fact that
hundred persons in New York go
