UKE-UP OF LIFE I is PERPENDICUUIR: I Man of Gallilee Never Drew Any Horizontal Lines While on the Earth The International Sunday School IJCS- | son For February 8 Is, "Darkness and Light."—Luke 11:14-26, 33-30. (By William T. Ellis) After all and after all, Since ever the world begun, Just two have lived, and two have died, In lowly mien, in lordly pride, The rogue and the honest man. After all and after all, The classes are but two; And both are rich and both are poor. And both still know as they knew before. The things that they ought to do. After all and after all. Escape it we never can; Only the choice of one have we, And you must be and I must be A rogue or an honest man. —John Randolph Stidman. The incisive mind of the new Teacher from Galilee, who was great in His simplicity, thus lined up so ciety. The only line he ever drew was vertical, between the good and the bad, the sheep and the goats. No horizontal lines for Him, separat ing men into upper classes. He set humanity into two camps, the wicked and the, godly. And the test of where one belongs in His attitude toward Jesus Himself. "He that is not for Me Is against Me." Nobody can dodge that classi fication; it is easier to escape the income tax collector than this in evitable grouping. Everybody must count either for or against Christ; which means, also, either for or against the things for which Christ stands. Every life has a drift, a, direction, a tendency; let It be to ward Christliness. The Snarl of the Critics The particular day about which we are studying had l>eeti a busy one for Jesus and His helpers. They had no tlM'e so much as to eat. Friends and kindred tried to hinder Jesus from spending Himself so lav ishly for the many needs of this in satiable mob. But that compassion ate spirit' had mercy upon everybody except Himself. The one dramatic event of the day was the casting oyt of a demon from a dumb man, so that Ills speech was restored. The. lips long sealed were opened. We wonder what the first words of tli e emancipated spirit were? Gratitude to the Healer? The name of a loved one? Incoherent enthusiasm? The enthusiasm of the liberated man was not shared by some mem bers of the crowd of onlobkers. They were the critics and the backbiters, who always see the worst in the bet ter, the evil in the good. They be longed to that large group who al ways look for the lowest motives in the deeds of public men. Any reason but the true and the noble will serve them. So these wiseacres winked knowingly and leered. "Ah, He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the prince of demons!" This was devil work, they claimed, and one more proof that Jesus had a demon. The Bible and the Devil Nowadays it is dreadfully un fashionable to believe in the devil. Yet the Bible, which is strangely indifferent to passing fancies, insists that there is a devil—an evil per sonality or power outside of man which besets him and drags him down. Some folks, who live in a clois tered world of books, deny this. Not so those who are at close grips with life. The latter must choose between a diabolical human nature or else an evil spirit of power which is man's worst enemy To all who know life* God is real and the devil is real. And the issue of all time is between these two. The old negro's definition of elec tion is not far astray. Without the dialect, the story goes that the negro said, "You see, there is an election being held to choose who will be king of your soul. Both God and Satan are candidates. You are the only voter. And whichever way you vote, that is the way the election goes." Reduced to its simplicities, ■ life is a choice between God and Satan. Confounding the Critics The story was Jesus' favorite way of meeting criticism. To the charge that He was an ally of Beelzebub, He answered in terse, graphic words, "Every kingdom divided against It self is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house fall eth." As I heard a preacher in a rescue mission—down where they believe abundantly in Satan —say the other day, "The devil is united; but the church Is divided." The only man who can cast out devils is a stronger man than the devil. Nobody can break into Satan's house and destroy his work except Christ. The proof that He does so is sufficient evidence that He is the deadly foe of Beelzebub. Casting out demons was not the kind of work calculated to make the Prince of Darkness happy. "For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, And armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. "Did we in our own strength con fide, Our striving would be losing; Were not the right Man on our side, The Man of God's own chfioslng. Dost ask who that may be? Jesus Christ, it iB He; Dord Sabaoth is His name. From age to age the same, And He must win the battle." Whatever overcomes the evil of life is of God. The frlerids of God should stand together by all that stands for good. There has been a colossal failure here on the part of the church; her support has not al ways been an assured asßet of right eousness. Consider, for instance, the publishers of newspapers who have fought and suffered for common righteousness; but the church seems little to note or long to remember what they have done. To achieve the solidarity of the friends of God is a basic need of our time. Emptying by Filling What keeps most men straight and useful? A wife and babies. Responsi bility, work, necessity, these are the cargo and engine of the ship of a human life. The law forever holds true that an empty life is dangerous. Why is such disproportionate news paper space given to the misdeeds of the idle rich? Simply because empty lives and empty lie'ads inevitably pro duce wickedness. It is not because he has so much money that the rich man's so often goes wrong, but be cause he has so little life. Our wise new program for social service accepts the teaching Jesus in this lesson, and seeks to fill every life full of worth-while things. For an empty life offers its hospitality to all t the devils in Eight. The way to get!

"Noth ing is over displaced until it is re placed." "We cannot pump Ihe darkness out of a room; we must empty it by tilling it with light." What Do You .Stand For? In these parable answers which He made to the charge that He was a confederate of the evil one Jesus stated the principle of the light, the animating purpose, that radiates from a life. Everybody must shed either darkness or brightness. The line-up is inescapable. The point is made practical by the Teacher, even as It is gathered up the familiar little kindergarten song: "Jesus bids us shine with a clear, pure light, Like a little candle shining in the night." Deslte the evidence of the array of lamps in every lamp store to the contrary, it Is true that lamps are not made to be seen, but to see by. Their business is not to be looked at but to give light. Which is a para ble for Christians. How Jesus would have seized on the modern method of indirect lighting as a metaphor—the lamp itself out of sight, but its light flooding the room. A lamp is to be elevated, said He, to throw light.

Fourth and Chestnut Streets OPEN EVENINGS who -want some bettor place for shining than where God has put them: "A candle that won't shine in one room is very unlikely to shine in another. If you do not shine at home, if your father and mother, your sister and brother, if the very cat and dog in the house are not the better r,nd happier for your being a Christian, it is a question whether you really are one." Slake me to,be a torch, for feet that grope Down truth's dim trail; to bear for wistful eyes Comfort of light; to bid great bea cons blaze, And kindle altar fires of sacrifice. Let me see souls aflame with quench less zeal For great endeavors, causes true and high. So would ] live to quicken and in spire, So would I, thus consumed, burn out and die. —The Survey. In this rather obscure figure, Jesus likens the lamp to the eye: "When thine eye is single, thy whole body Is also full of light, but when it is evil, thy body is also full of darkness." This evidently refers to the way one looks out on life, to the character of His purpose. Some per sons observe the world with a vision that is all darkness; as, for illus tration, those evil-seeing Idlers who stand on street corners ogling wom en. Or, to come closer home, we are startled occasionally by realiz ing the possibilities of evil in our selves. We need the presence of Christ in our heart to keep pure and sincere and single our purpose.
