In Jewish literature there is a
parable about the King of the
Beasts, who offered a reward to
the animal able to cure his illness.
One by one the animals tried to
relieve the lions distress, but he
gradually grew worse instead of
better. Then. one day a crane
passed by. He asked the King of
the Beasts TO open his mouth. The
lion opened wide and the crane
stretched his long neck down in
side TO spot the trouble Sure
enough, he located a misplaced
bone, pulled it out and the lion got
well. The crane then asked for the
reward that was promised The
king of the forest replied: Isn't
il reward enough for you to have
put your head in a lions mouth
and yet still live?"

national disaster, you can read in

a nation finally was wiped out in

more next week. He was by far
not the first, last or only innocent
man to suffer in a nations disas-
ter. A good Christian like Niemoel-
Ter suffers for Hitler's madness;
a sanity Christian like Kagawa
suffers in Japan's defeat, even
though both of them protested
against their nations policies,
Pulling Others Up
Needless to say, there is the
other side of this. Just as the in
nocent are dragged down by the
guilty, so the guilty are sometimes
protected and benefited by the
good. A nation by breaking Gods
laws pulls down many individuals
who keep Gods laws so far as
they can; and on the other hand
a nation that keeps Gods laws
pulls up many individuals who are
quite indifferent to God. Take
America at the present writing. for
instance. The picture may have
changed by the time you read this;
but while it is being written our
nation is at peace, prosperity
blooms on every side, we are one
of the two most powerful nations
the world has ever seen Who de-
serves the credit2 Not all Of US,
surely We talk about the heroism
of our forefathers, immigrants and
pioneers; but we are not very he
roic. We talk about American
smartness and know-how; but how
few of US know howl We point
with pride to our vast educational
system - and we read the comic
strips. We are happy to see erosion
brought under control and fertility
restored to waste land. But how
many farmers were eager for such
a program at first? We are proud
of progress, when if it had been
left to most Of us. we would still
be stuck in the mud.
The Price OF Being Human
The truth is, and we cannot be
reminded of it too often, that the
human race is all tied together.
Mankind is made for community.
The human race is not like tray
of sand. where one grain can blow
off without disturbing the others
very much. 1t is more like block
of concrete; move one grain of
that and it all moves. We are hap
Ply enough to be pulled up by the
community or the nation when that
is better than we are; so we have
not too much to cry about when
we are pulled down by the COM
munity or the nation when that is
worse than we are. We can't have
it both ways. We must not expect
to benefit from the goodness of our
good neighbors and at the same
time not be hurt by the badness
of our bad neighbors. It is the
price of being human. that we are
bonded together with countless
others, and that with them we
must often suffer tine severe judg-
ment of God.

usual any more. There is no way
a nation can crash without taking
many individual lives and much
happiness down with it.
Pulling Others Down
Out of the many lessons one can
learn from the downfall of Judah
and its capital Jerusalem is that
innocent people suffer with the
guilty and because of the guilty.
Not every one in wicked nation
is wicked; some may have been
doing their level best to keep the
nation from going on the wrong
track. Jeremiah is a prime eX-
ample of this kind of man. An in
spired prophet, he had been warn
ing his fellow-citizenS for years,
as had Ezekiel and other prophets.
But in the general disaster he
suffered quite as much as anybody
who was to blame for the whole
mess. Jerusalem was swallowed,
