SIR OLIVER LODGE once said
that what Christianity had reach
ed and declared as if it had walk
ed forward in seven-league boots
science arrived at more moder-
ately; but that as time goes on,
religion and science reinforce
each other more and more.
This significant statement ap-
plies to all that is meant by good
ness. Science has brought to us a
new Importance of universal, un-
changing, constant, dependable
law. The Christian believes that
these magnificent laws are not
self-operative but are evidences
of Gods trustworthy intelligence
continuously at work.
Do you believe that science
and our religion are at odds, or
do they merely seem to be in dis
agreement because we have mis-
interpreted one or both of them?
is it conceivable that this uni
verse is a medley of contradic-
tions, part opposing part; or is
it a MOSAIC, all of whose parts
combine to make a beautiful pat
tern?
i: Now for a brief study OF those
elements of goodness which have
been acclaimed by religion and
sanctioned by science in terms OF
universal law. :....

THE ESSENCE OF
GOODNESS

Memory Selection:
He hath showed thee, o. man,
what is good; and what doth the
Lord require of thee, but to do
justly, and to love kindness, and
to walk humbly with thy God?
(Micah 6:8).
The future outlook., 1947-09-20
Thoughts and Conduct

The science of human behav-
ior and religion agree on the
high Importance of what one
thinks in his innermost self.
Thought and action are closely
related. Goodness originates in
our thought life.
An adopted boy hated his fos-
ter parents. He thought again
and again of killing them. One
day he did.
We become like what we think.
If we think about ways of harm
ing persons, of taking the legiti-
mate possessions of others, of
descending to the jungle in our
sex life, of acting coarsely and
cheaply, we have already begun
to do these things.
Goodness begins in clean, con-
structive, social, high-minded,
refined thinking. This is a very
important principle. Do you be-
lieve this so thoroughly that you
live it?
Respect For Persons
Christianity includes in it's bill
of goodness a high respect for
every person, because every per-
son is Gods child and partner,
rich in possibilities of becoming
capable of achieving the divinity
that.is imperishable lie and eternal.
Science recognizes personality as
the high mark in the creative
process. Anthropology, sociology,
biology, biochemistry, all pay
their highest honor to persons.
Goodness includes reverence
for every person. What magnifi-
cent goodness Jesus lived in his
interest in serving persons!
Do you ever use persons self
ishly anywhere-in your home,
in your business, i'll your recre-
alton? Do you ever cheaper Il
person for your own profit or
pleasure?
Character and Reputation
Psychology well knows the
dangers of a divided self.
Years ago on a card in the
files of the public schools of New
York City a boy was listed as
having all the symptoms of a,
selfhood that was splitting up.
Nobody ever did anything about
that warning. Later on this boy
lived DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde
life. He murdered a woman while
he was living the Mr.. Hyde
phase.
Christianity writes down as a
requirement for goodness the
agreement between character,
which is what we are, and repu-
tation, which is what others
think us to be. Character, relig-
iously and scientifically, is pas
siohate obedience to Gods will
as expressed in Gods universal
laws: that govern: the body, the
mind, and group%.life. =

One statement from the wise
men among the Biblical selec-
tions in this lesson is this (para-
phrased): "The main thing in

To know God is what knowledge
means"
Persons are so wonderful
themselves that nothing short of
a belief as majestic as that in

of the members t ohave them
itemized was denied them. Why?
The trustees reported receipts
of over Four Thousand Dollars,
($4,000.O0) for the quarter. They
also reported disbursements of
over Four Thiusand Dollars,
($4,OOO.OO), but they did not
state what the money was spent
for, or to whom it was paid; and
when members asked for such
an accounting it was denied
them. r.
This money was contributed
to the church by members, and
they have right to know how
and where it was spent. This is
not only the opinion of this
writer, but it is the opinion of
the Commonwealth of Massa-

the corporation a report of their
activities upon the demand of
the members. The 0 Gals in this
case not only violated the trust
of the people whom they are
supposed to serve, but they also
violated one of the statutes of
the Commonwealth.
The people have a right to
know in detail what becomes Of
the money which they contribute
to any organization, and unless
they are given that information
they will stop contributing. The
church depends upon these con-
tributions for its existence. With

seen in our Veterans Hospitals
