Senate Cloakroom
BY J. GLENN BEALL
United States Senator from
Maryland


Hotel reservations for the day of
the next Presidential Inauguration
which is still more than a year
aWay-were being considered this
week by two 8O-year-olds who don't
want to miss the event, but they ran
into a problem.
1t was this:
According to law, the President
must take his oath of office on
January 20. And according to GUS
tom, the inaugural parade and
other festivities are staged on the
same day.

with the plans Of the couple who
showed such an early and eager in

Lesson for December IL, 1855

Two cart-drivers in China were
Il trying to get up a muddy hill.
Each driver cart was stuck in
the mud, almost side by side.
Each man was beating his own
scrawny horse. but the wheels

American. why don't you I'M

hitch him to the other cart? Then

Who Is My Neighbor?

Now if those two Chinese car
tiers had been father and son. or
brother and brother, they might
have thought of helping each 9TH
er. for in China nothing is too
good for members of your family.
But we have no great right to
make fun of the Chinese All Of
us are inclined to draw pretty
hard lines and to think.-Outside
those lines I have no neighbors.
Inside the lines. yes, we under
stand pretty well what neighbor-
illness is. Love thy neighbor as
myself is a commandment not
too hard to understand for we
know what it is to love ourselves,
that comes all too naturally We
like to get ahead, to cushion our
selves from danger and if posi-
BILE from discomfort, we consult
our own interests. Loving one
neighbor as oneself just means

What We Haven't Figured Out

There are many problems we
haven't worked out yet, in this
business for acting as good neigh
bors. For example: What is the
Wisest way to be neighbor to
people of different race from our
own? How can a mill-worker be
a neighbor to the stock holders.
or how can the stockholders be
neiahborly to the workers? When
a corporation, in the process of
expansion, throws 500 persons out
of work at one time. is there any
way in which those who are en-
ployed by the corporation can be
neighbors to those who have lost
THEN positions? How can we be
neighDors to people who resent
US How far can we 60 in help
ING people without turning them
into "moochers" and beggars2
How can Christians in one de-
nomination be neighbors to those
in another? And one more ques-
ton: Is it possible for non-Chris-
tians to be as good neighbors in
Jesus sense Of the word as
Christians can be?

nelghhOrs Out Of Sight

Jesus famous parable Of the
Good Samaritan shows that hav-
ing neighbors is easy, in fact you
can't help it; but that the impor-
tant thing is being neighbor.
Ii means more than living in
peaceful co-existence" and not
bothering each other It means
active cooperation and help, Of
those who need help. Wherever
there is a person in trouble whom
we can help. there IS neighbor.
In our time the world has grown
closer together than it was Ia
Jesus time. If there had been a
famine in India. the good Samsr-
itan would never have known it.
or if ne had. he could have done
nothing about it Now if there
is a famine in India we hear about
it as soon as the Indians can;
and we can do something about
it too. When farmers in a church
in Iowa, for instance, send
heifer to farmer in some out
of-the-way or devastated part Of
the world across a wide ocean.
that is being a ncighbor, modern
style for modern world.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1955-12-08

looking out for him in the same
careful ways, thinking ahead for
him. promoting him. We UNDER
stand what neighborliness is, yes.
We do not confuse it with being
meddlesome. If you want to
know as much about your neigh
Dor as you do about yourself.
you aren't being neighbor but
nuisance If you do for your
neighbor what he can very well
do. ought to do and maybe wants
to do for himself then you are
not treating him like a neighbor
