Church and Home
BY REV. M. MIKKELSEN

The Sermon on the Mount points
to the fact that inferior humanity
may successfully strive to rise to a
position above that which is indi-
Gated by mans struggle to set himself
free from the evil influences of this
world in which he lives.
One reason why they said when
Jesus had concluded this sermon:
He speaks as one having authority,
was the fact that the portal of a
new and different world had been
opened to them; the sermon was their
invitation to enter.
The standard of true living as laid
down in this sermon can be reached
by all by accepting the invitation.
To many of us this comes as voice
tout of the night" as a release and
a promise, and we wonder whether
it is just a moments delight or an
actual situation which is going to
last?
mo matter what we have under
gone and suffered, we must try to
forgive those who injured us, and
remember only the lesson gained
thereby. While it is difficult for us
not to feel bitterness for the injuries
we have suffered at the hands of the
aggressors, let us remember that re-
elimination and hatred will lead us
nowhere Thus spoke recently
China's leading woman on her visit
in this country. Spoken in Chris
tan land and to a Christian nation
the meaning is clear; in the minds
of non-Christians it is just so many
words.
From a Christian point of view
leadership must always be inter-
preted in terms of service. The
greatest leader of all times was
Christ, but, humanity speaking: He
didn't know it. He was never lead
ing; that is, He was never concerned
about being a leader of men, and
never concerned about being adj
vanced to higher position. He had
come to serve, and in doing so His
sole ambition was to follow the road
that had been laid out before Him,
and do the will of His Father who
sent Him.
The only true leader is he who has
learned sufficiently to follow and to
serve.
"If 1 ever get chance to hit this
thing, 1 am going to hit it hard
said Abraham Lincoln about slavery.
The true follower, rather than the
leader, is asserting himself in state
ment like this.
He who leads by following that
which is greater than self must of
necessity have been consecrated to
serve and in this to put service be-
fore self. Others have hit hard and
experienced that the world is ready
to strike a counter-blow even a lit
tie harder. One must be Christian
in order to take the treatment and
stand up against the storm. 1t is
for this reason that the suffering
today of men who were led by divine
love to commit themselves is evidence
of their devotedness to Christianity.

wives are being asked to take I'M
usually good care Of the contents
of their linen closets.
