datlons of a community's life. Like
a tornado which leaves in it's wake
death and destruction, the liquor
traffic always leaves behind it a
heavy toll OF waste.
Jesus Wept, not only because of
the shallowness and s%infu1ness of
the people, but also because of their
~sacredness. Human personality is
sacred. Anything sacred is worth
saving. He gave himself in sacri-
lice Tor their redemption. His weep.
Ing turned into work. He had not
only a sensitive soul but also a
saerlficial spirit. Just because Ka-
saWa thinks of all men, however
degraded they may be, as sacred
he has given himself without stint
tC the alienation of suffering in the
Sums of Kobe. He was a man of
tears. His prayers in public and
in private were watered with tears
n burst like a pent-up flood out
OF his SOUL" He did not stop with
weeping, however, but like his Mas
fer, he went about doing good. He
put through legislation wiping out
the slums of six of the largest cities
i'll Japan. We need today in our city
a few sensitive souls who can feel
another's woe and weep for the sa-
cred personalities lost to virtue and
inner peace. Such a person touched
by the spirit of the Master will not
rest until he has cleansed his COM
munity life of all that harms and
tears down the spirits of men.
Jesus loved Jerusalem. He was
willing to give up his life for it.
He could not, however, help weep
ing when he saw the shallowness
of his followers, the sinfulness of
the people, and the sacred person
alities neglected as sheep without
a shepherd. "And when he was come
near, he beheld the city, and wept
over it."
