One cannot but admire the attitude Of
many Europeans. Comparatively they have

What's Religious About ~

Social justice is everybody az
fair. not hobby for few But II
this is so. what can be specially
religious about 1t? There are re-
ligions that take no interest In
this. but We are speaking for the
Christian religion, the faith Of the
Bible. Two facts are vital link
joining social justice and religion
One is the fact that the irreligious
man is pretty cold TO what other
people need and rightly want II
can get my cut that's all ask
When blessings are passed out,
want 10 be near the head OF the
line. That's the way the irreligious
mind works Such proverbs as
Look oct for Number One"
Every man for himself and the
devil take the hindmost," express
this selfishness. The second fact
linking religion and social justice
is that in the Bible, God himself is
known as the God Of justice and
mercy. or as our newer transla-
ton puts it, justice and "steadfast
love" Human justice is rooted in
the fact that we are created by.
and responsible to, the God OF JUS
tice. and human mercy is like
wise rooted in the character OF the
God who made us in his image
Love Without Hypocrisy
Let love be without hypocri-
sy," said St. Paul TO the Romans.
Rom. 1919, AS.V.) The one com
mandment Jesus singled out as
First, is, Love God with all your
heart and mind A. not half Of it!
Now it is hard to love God and not
love what he stands for. It is I'M
possible to love God and not love
the kind Of God he is. A person
who claims to love God, but who
at the same time loW-rates or
brushes of social justice. raises
doubts as TO the sincerity OF his
professed love for God. Can one
truly love God and not wish to be
like him? Perhaps the greatest
single obstacle to Christianity, that
is to believing that its claims are
true. are the people WHO with their
lips Qet US say in hymns or other

in their daily lives show the love
