distinctive beliefs and more BROTH
erly and cooperative. 1t is realized
that all Christians hold the essen
tials of the same faith in common.
For we know that the Master who
rebuked Johns sectarian zeal and
his spirit Of vengeance upon the
Samaritans teaches tolerance and
patience to all of His followers.
Without surrender of any conyic-
tions-which is the temptation Of
the tolerant man-we are to view
with kindliness and good will the
persons who may not adhere to all
the distinctive teachings of our
faith. There are many roads to
God and they all merge into the
Way.
First Things First.
Our assigned Scripture comprises
two parts-first, the great lesson
upon tolerance, and, second, the
nature of discipleship.
That first man who came profess
ing discipleship was the impulsive,
emotional type, who did not reckon
the cost of following a Master who
was utterly without worldly goods
and homeless. We are grateful to
him, however, for having evoked the
words which bind the Son of Man
to all the poor and homeless and
wandering ones of earth. He who
had no real home during His min
istry has ever since been the shell
tering home of destitute hearts.
Second of the prospective disciples
was the man who put family cares
first He would not follow Jesus
until he had buried his father. Some
commentators think that his father
was not yet dead and that the
meant that he must defer disciple
ship till he was through with his
domestic obligations. Many of us
have known men who declared that
as soon as they had amassed COM
petence they would give themselves
exclusively to Christian work. I
never knew one who did so.
Third of the group whom Luke
characterizeS so tersely, was the man
who wanted to return home for the
prolonged leave-taking of the Orient.
To all of these, Jesus insisted
upon the imperativeness of the su-
remacy of the Kingdoms cause.
God will not be Lord at all, unless
He is Lord in all" The only place
He will occupy in life is first place.
Our churches are suffering today
because so many members have
shunted religion of into second or
third place or tenth place in their
lives. There are other things they
prize more highly than their alle-
glance to Christ. In stern and re-
echoing words, Jesus declares that
the man who turns back from the
pillow is not fit for the Kingdom of
God.
That teaching runs far. 1t ap-
plies to the young man who sets his
own security above his duty to serve
as soldier. 1t applies to the busi-
ness man who puts profits above
patriotism. 1t applies to the fiutter-
minded person who fiys from one
activity to another. 1t applies to
Christians who, like the race horses
which are impetuous at the barrier
yet lag in the stretch, are without
staying power in discipleship and
service.
Whole nations are in misery at
present because they had no ideals
worth dying for. The glory of Chris
tianity is the men and women who
have kept on keeping on.
