drink. The Christ who once sat
wearied on this wen-curb offers
Himself as the Water of Life"
This particular wells great an
tiquity is less in the visitors mind
than the one incident which made
it famous. For here one evening
sat the tired and hungry Jesus, and
to fiippant and flirtatious Samari-
tan woman expounded the greatest
truths of religion. That Jesus so
often lavishly gave of His best to the
least is one of the significant facts
of the Gospel. A pompous Civil
War statesman is reported to have
brushed aside an appeal with the
curt words, II have no time for in
dividuals." Whereupon his visitor
retorted, Then you are ahead of
God Almighty" For Jesus incar-
mated and taugh the truth that
Gods care is for His creatures, one
by one.
The Old Race Issue.
Last week 1 had a rather bitter
letter from discouraged preacher,
underpaid, who feels that he is vast
ing his life upon an unappreciative
country congregation. I thought of
Charles Kingsley, one of earth's
great ones, who throughout his min
istry served the one little parish of
Eversley; and of sanity Samuel
Rutherford, whose tiny church at
Anwoth I have visited; and of Jesus
pouring out the riches of Heaven to
an unworthy audience of one, a sin
full woman whom He changed.
When Jesus asked for drink
from Jacobs well, the Samaritan
woman raised the race issue For
Jews have no dealings with Samari-
tans." Our present day is sorely
troubled by the Negro question, the
Jewish question and the Oriental
question. We cannot settle any Of
these with glib comment or vague
postponements. We must face them
frankly and deal with them in the
Jesus way. He disposed of them by
affirming the universally of God's S
care for all His creatures. Re-
ligious intolerance he condemned; !;
God is a spirit, to be worshiped in
spirit and in truth. Included in
the Divine Fatherhood Is human
brotherhood. Children of God must
have enough of the Fathers spacious
love to care for all His other chill
dren, regardless of creed or color.
One of the more hideous aspects of
HitleriSna against which We make
war, is its murderous persecution of
Jews, and its arrogant assumption
of racial superiority.
More important to the patient
Teacher from Nazareth, as He sat
that day by Jacobs well, than either
His hunger or thirst, was the saliva
ton of the sinful Samaritan woman.
He knew the worst about her: yet
He also discerned the best within
her. And by winning her he won a
messenger of salvation to her neigh
bors.
So the chain lengthens, link by
link. One wins one, and that one
wins one, and thus the Kingdom
grows. BY changing that Samaritan
woman and making her mission
airy, Jesus opened her village to a
two-day sojourn by Himself and His
disciples. We do not know the re-
suits; only Heaven can reveal them.

Dr.. GoebeI 10 Speak
Al 18th Anniversary
OF Reformed Church
Rev. F. Nelson SchIeeeI
Is Twelfth Pastor
Of Congregation

DR.. Louis w. Goebel. president OF
the Evangelical and Reformed
Church, Chicago. Ill, will preach
the 18th anniversary sermon at
First Evangelical and Reformed
Church tomorrow at II am. 1t Is
also the 25th anniversary of con-
struction of the church building,
Thirteenth and Monroe streets NV.
When the church was organized
on Christmas Day, 1867. seven lay
men met with the Rev. John w.
Ebbinghaus. Within two years 60
families we're represented. For so
years they worshiped at Sixth and
N streets NV, and used the Ger
man language in most services.
First sanctuary was the old Trinity
Chapel. This was torn down in
1891, and the building now owned
by the Ephesus Adventist Church
was then erected and occupied by
First Church until 1917.
The Rev. F. Nelson Schlegel, pre-
sent pastor, came here in 1910. His
is the 18th pastorate in the history
of the congregation. His immediate
predecessor, DR.. James D. Buhrer,
served for 36 years.
DR.. Goebel will speak also Sunday
evening at union meeting of the
Evangelical and Reformed Churches
of the District in Grace Reformed
Church.
The OBCA will meet Monday eve
ming.
