graduates open their papers at the
comic strip, and then turn to the
sporting page and the motion-pic-
ture columns. This infantile prac-
tice is the habit Of multitudes.
OF course, it is only . symptom Of
the way in which the world is kid
ding itself. It thinks that wise
cracks" are wisdom: that q mad
rush after artificial pleasure is hap
piness, and that cosmetics and
clothes are a passport to popularity.
Along with these lesser blunders has
gone a startling disregard of the old
sanctities Of personal chastity, Of the
inviolabiity Of the home, of tenn
perance, thrift, industry and the
other solid and intelligent elements
which make for sound character.
There are those who believe that
even the opening horrors Of an
other war will bring these frivolous
minded to their senses; and to q
realization that Life is real, life is

there Is reported an increased at
tendance upon church services. Con-
fronted by catastrophe, men and
women turn instinctively to the old,
tested sources of strength. Hitherto
needless parents will be sending
their children to Sunday school.
Adult Bible classes will grow in at

Opportunely, with . widespread

Instead Of petty prohibitions and
unessential practices, Jesus pre-
scribed purpose. He cared less for
ritual than for righteousness-a
Righteousness far transcending the
formalism Of the Pharisees. His aim
was the inner character Of man.
The letter killeth, but the spirit
giveth life" He stood for the real
sense and essential quality Of the
Old Testament law; but He re-
vitalized 1t with q new dynamic.
His call was for q fresh, living
loyalty and spirit Of love.
From one standpoint, the Sermon
on the Mount makes terrible read
ing. For Jesus not only pictures the
open way to the perfect life, but He
also portrays the doom Of the deniers
and the impenitent. No honest
reading of these sublime passages
gives warrant for the nebulous
conception of Jesus as spineless.
amoral teacher of sweetness and
universal goodness. His gospel Is
that of the narrow way and the
strait gate, with a fearless pres
entation of the broad way which
leads to destruction. To the wicked
and to the selfish Journalist, our
lesson declared, "Ye shall in no
wise enter into the kingdom Of
heaven" The door to life, here and
hereafter, Is shut to those who will
not accept the law Of the kingdom.
Stern teachings these, but they con-
front every man.
Drum Majors and Generals.
Ours is q day of mass-minded-
ness and crowd thinking. "Al we
like sheep'-silly, witless, dock-fol-
lowing sheep-"have gone astray."
AS one surveys the pulpit Of the
time he perceives that one Of our
deeper tragedies Is that the shep-
herds have become sheep. Most pub
lie ofhcials have yielded to the
trend to follow the crowd, rather
than to lead it. The difference be-
tween Q politician and q genuine
statesman Is the difference between
. drum major and q general: one
merely marches ostentatiously at
the head Of the parade, whereas the
other directs the course and the
action. Jesus, that unique Leader
Of men, aimed His words toward
individual initiative.
In q recent notable book, "World
Order" by the philosopher -histo-
rian, Lionel Curtis, there is brave
clear facing Of conditions with thi.
striking conclusion, which seems an
echo of old-fashioned Sunday
School teachings:
MY faith Is that as men obey
the commands of Christ to create
a system of society ordered in &C.
cordance with the laws of God
that system will bring into beint
men in His likeness. Others vii
grow to the stature of Christ, til
time will come when such ar,
the rule and not the exception
In other words, this eminen
scholar and man of affairs believe
that rs the teachings of Jesus ar
accepted by mankind, one by one
the entire world order will change
Every man, every woman, ever,
boy, every girl, who yields his hf'
to the Law Of God helps create ,
force which will ultimately elimi.

witnessing In Europe.
