along a book to read while wait

"You can't stand or sit In the

ours just basking in the sun and
talking idly. We finally drifted into
a discussion of everybody's favorite

if we had them to live over.

to be travelling musician. roaming
around the country on foot, playing

possible exception of North's open

full. 1t is true that this hand con-
tains two and a half honor tricks
but not very good suit for rebid
purposes, and technically, therefore
does not meet with the standard re-
quirements. Easts pass of the open

considerable defensive values. and if
South can be lured into making a

brewing for the opposition. South

North came up with the ace and
returned the seven. DeClarer, recall

could not be prevented from getting
in to cash the setting trick.
EaSt'S reasoning was not COM
pletely sound. Because a man bids
a suit it does not necessarily follow
that he has all the honors in that

like that"

Sunday School Lesson

into this controversy, and l think
it would be unfortunate if in the
teaching, or study, Of the lesson
too much attention were concen-
trated on that particular part. l
&C not mean that it is unimpor-
tant, for it is of the utmost i'm
portance; but it has been written
and talked about until there is
little more to say, and nothing
really results from the argument.
Irreconcilable attitudes remain.
Some men will consider it their
Christian duty to defend their
country by force Of arms, and &c
serve a good cause by force if
it is attacked by force, while 9TH
ers will continue to insist that it
is their Christian duty not to use
force under any circumstances.
1 do wish to say, however, that
no part of the teaching of Jesus
ought to be interpreted without
reference to other parts, or out
of relation to the whole. If we
interpret non-resistance teaching
with complete literalness as apply
ing to every situation without dis
tinction, what are we to make Of
His saying that He had come, not
10 send peace on earth, but the
sword? Or of the more disputed
passage about His driving out the
traders in the temple with whip
even if it was a ship of small
cords, Or as some claim, a whip
woven from the reeds on the tenn
pie floor?
My own contention is that we
must interpret and practice t h e
teaching of Jesus with the COM
mon sense and realism with which
He gave and practiced it. If one
takes too literally His teaching
about non-resistance, let him read
the 23rd chapter of Matthew, with
its accusations against the gen
Grafton of vipers,' and its pro-
nouncement of woes against evil
doors and hypocrites. There one
sees a grim picture of a fighting
Christ, to be set alongside h e
gentle Jesus, meek and mild
The title of our lesson properly
stresses 1.-The standards of the
Kingdom" What we must grasp
is that in the Sermon on the Mount
Jesus was expounding the princi-
pies of a Kingdom different in ma
ture and purpose from the king
doms of this world--a Kingdom in
which love and unselfishness and
helpfulness toward others was the
rule of life, and not the business
of getting all possible for one
self. Set that down as the basic
law of the Kingdom, and you will
see how naturally everything else
follows-turning the other cheek,
giving up your second coat, etc.
The ideal Kingdom is to be re-
allied in a world that is far from
it, and for each OF us perhaps the
most difficult thing is to determine
how we can live in the world.
and yet not be of the world, never
losing sight of the goal and stand
ards of the Kingdom, even in the
inevitable adjustments of daily
living in world largely I'M
