capped, to the burdened, to the sor-
rowing. He consistently represented
the Infinite as Father who cares.
Unlike the Hebrew psalmists, He
did not dwell upon the greatness
and glory of God in the wonders of
creation. The splendors of the
Creator who set the spheres to roll
ing and rules the immeasurable
universe engrossed Him less than
the truth that God marks the SPAR
rows fall, and nourishes the lily of
the field, and is pitiful of the poor,
and yearns for the recovery of all
the lost children of His family. The
God that Jesus portrayed had for
His other name Love.
Three Immortal Stories.
This aspect of God is most beau
tifully pictured in the three immor-
tai stories that make up the 18th
chapter of Luke-the stories of
the lost sheep, the lost coin and the
lost son. Not to be familiar with
them is to confess ones self unedu-
Gated. In terse, simple, vivid, grip
ping language they set forth. as par
ables. the solicitude of the Heavenly
Father for the lost. Their contrast
with most modern books is complete
Persons who are bothered by the
days clouded speculations upon re-
ligions may find a good portrait of
the character of God in these simple
tales. Before going to sleep tonight
I hope every reader of these lines
will con carefully and repeatedly
these parallels of the seeking, yearn-
ing, tireless and forgiving love of
God for the lost. They impart an
understanding of the Divine nature
that our generation sorely needs.
We all like to learn the conditions
and motives that inspired the writ
ing of our favorite literature. We
are left in no doubt as to what
caused the telling of these tales by
Jesus. The crowds that attended
His appearance and utterances we're
lowly folk; many of them the out
casts of society. Notorious publi-
cans-the hated x-collectors-and
shameless sinners rung upon the
words of this Rabbi who spoke as
never man spake. Jesus encouraged
them, and even dined with them.

scribes' These men we're the So

innocent victims of the war lust of

quicken our purposes for peace and
justice. We cannot abate the prose-

pagan barbariSm and idealism; but
we should fight within ourselves to
retain the Christian attitude of pity

of those who would walk the Jesus

Of the time. Religion was to them
primarily matter of good form.
So they murmured and complained,
saying one to the other, This man
recelveth sinners, and eateth with
them" They put the ecclesiastical
ban upon Jesus. This feeling of
hostility never abated until finally
they saw Him on the Cross. Even
there, as a dying act, Jesus forgave
a notorious sinner, a criminal, and
promised him the Paradise which
these aristocrats thought was their
peculiar heritage. Mumbling COM
plants in their boards, criticizine
openly one to another and even
in public, the ecclesiastical leaders
of His day outlawed the Teacher
from Nazareth
An Answer to Critics.
Fortnight personality that He
was, Jesus took up the challenge of
these censorious critics. He clothed
His reply in story form. So we have
these three famous parallels.
What was the Saviours shame in
the eyes of the Pharisees has been
His Glory in the Church through
out the ages. Deathless hymns have
taken up the refrain.
Sing it DER and DER again:
Christ receiveth sinful men"
A whole Christian world for a
generation sang THE Ninety and
Nine" The Prodigal Son has been
"a staple theme of art and literature
and it has brought myraids of wan
derers back home.
The character Of Jesus has MANY
facets; but above all others shines
the radiance of His mission as a
seeking Saviour of the lost. We
may admire the profoundly of His
philosophy; the loveliness of His
personal life; His mastery skill in
dealing with men; His humility and
spirituality: His courtesy and tender
ness toward women and children:
His appreciation of nature; His
social readiness in meeting emer-
gencies; His self -abnegation as He
followed the lowly ways of Journey
man carpenter and of itinerant
teacher and preacher. All these.
and many more, characteristics of
Jesus we adore, and seek to emulate.
But it is as a Saviour of sinners
that We take final refuge in Him.
Above all our other needs is our
need from a Saviour from sin.
For the far country of sin is
startlinglv near to every one of us
One misstep and we are in it. We
do not need to go to New York S
BoWery, where today's bread lines
conceal men who a short time ago
were aff1uent and respected. for ex-
amples of the proximity of the life
that is alien from goodness and
God. The possibility of moral COL
lapse is dangerously near everybody.
Most of us are potential prodigals:
and none know this so we'll as the
saintliest. The holier a person is
the more clearly he sees the awful
ness of sin. There is none of us
outside the need of Gods forgiving,
seeking love.
Our Lessons three stories all end
on a note of happiness. Jesus mag
nified the gladness that there Is
over the finding of the lost. He
pictured heaven as a place where
Joy is increased whenever lost life
is found a sinner redeemed. The
realm of perfect bliss, according
to this repeated statement of the
Saviour. is made more blissful by
the repentance of a blundering,
earth-bound sinner. So it is pos
sible for mortal man to add to
heavens joys.
