the fact that the Christians Of
North America are sustaining the
orphaned" missions Of the world,
whose income has been cut of
and whose missionaries have been
tnterned, because Of the war. The
present crisis has brought q new
ecumencial consciousness to the
church.
Everybody is near somebody who
needs help. That picture Of the
swarming crowd Of needy at Caper-
na,im is q parable Of world condi-
tions. But, as in the case Of Peters
mother-in-law land the Bible has
only good words to say Of mothers
In law), the general need may be
broken up into its component parts
Of individual need. There Is some
body near at hand today who is our
opportunity to emulate Jesus.
A Sensational" Preacher.
ALI Of Us are familiar with the
type of shallow preacher who uses
sensational sermon topics and
covets attention from the press.
Publicity hounds" we call them
In newspaper Offices. Their type
Is far different from that Of the
man who creates q genuine SEN
sation by changing lives and by
noble ministry. Jesus was, in
this best sense, a sensational"
preacher. He set all of Capernaum
and Galilee to talking about His
wonderful works and words. He
made news.
Just now we crave more sensa-
tional churches-churches wherein
things happen; wherein men and
women are converted; wherein the
great standards Of noble living are
lifted up; wherein q fountain of
happiness flows and brotherhood
Is reality. Such q church soon
absorbS the community into its orbit
and helps to make over this sorry
world.
What Kind Of Sabbath?
Jesus was often q Sabbath
breaker, in the eyes of His critics,
He filled the day with ministry
OF mercy. True, He always went
to church, even though the syna-
gogues Of the time were stuffy and
sterile. The absentee from divine
service cannot appeal to the ex-
ample Of the Master.
At the point Of Sabbath KEEPING
our Christian civilization has been
breaking down. We have got to
be brave enough to face I'D to this
ugly truth. Within a generation
the movement for the seculariza-
ton OF the Sabbath has grown to
be a flood. Church attendance has
declined. Home usages of Sabbath
keeping have lapsed. Sunday COM
les have become the mental pabu-
Ium OF myriads, poor substitute
Tor sermons and Bible lessons
Sports, movies, theaters have been
widely substituted for the old usages
Of worship.
1t Is time to be alarmed. To lose
the Christian Sabbath from our
common life is to threaten society
physically, morally, mentally and
spiritually. Thoughtful persons
should give serious consideration to
this condition into which we have
drifted. A secularized Sunday in
evitably means a secularized civil
ization-and that Is what We are
fighting a war to prevent.
"A Sabbath well spent
Brings a week Of content
And health for the tolls of to-
morrow.
But Sabbath profaned,
Whate'er may be gained,
Is . certain forerunner of sor-
row."
The Sunday School lesson for
February is "A Busy Sabbath
in Capernaum."-Mark, i.21-34;
Luke, iv.31-41.
