RELIGION NOT Ml
MAHER OF CEREMONY
Outward Forms While Good in
Themselves Are Not Vital,
Says W. T. Ellis
The International Sunday School Les
son For February 15, 1914, Is
"Christ's Hatred of Shams," L/ukc
11:37-54.
(William T. Ellis)
The most popular novel of the
present season is Winston Churchill's
"The Inside of the Cup." The title
Is taken from words of Jesus which
are a part of the present Sunday
School lesson. The entire story is
designed to be an exposition, in mod
ern form, of the teachings of the
Master as here set forth. Whatever
the defects of "The. Inside of the
Cup," it is certainly intended to
teach one of Christ's own lessons, and
in His favorite form of a parable.
That such a discussion should be the
favorite book of the hour argues well
for the serlous-mindedness of our
day. Also it is a reminder that peo
ple are getting a great deal of their
religious instruction from other than
the conventional religious sources.
The background of the utterance,
and the lesson story, was a dinner
party. Then, as now, the social lead
ers were fond of capturing every
"lion" that came along, be he a re
ligious Iconoclast, a picturesque so
cialist, famous writer, or what-not.
Anything to relieve the ennui of
jaded folk tired of their own com
pany and at the end of their own
resources. There was a distant sim
ilarity between the motives which
led the condescending Pharisee to
invite Jesus to his table, as enter
tainer for his guests, and that which
once prompted vacant-minded society
folk to give a "monkey-dinner."
Many a "lion" has lost both his
roar and his teeth beneath these
smothering attentions. One of the
commonest tragedies of the pulpit,
of literature, and of public life, is
the attainment of social acceptabil
ity and popularity, at the cost of
the loss of one's message. Jesus,
however, was not of this class. He
cared more for His own intellectual
integrity than for the favor of any
aristocracy. While not lacking In
most real courtesy, He would not let
His courage and message be obscured
by any mistaken sense of politeness.
In the Ceremonious Fast
This fresh-spirited western world
has had the vigorous good sense not
to let Its religion become a mere
matter of ceremony. There have
been attempts to fix upon certain
practices—as card playing, dancing,
theater-going, for instance—as the
sign and test of godliness. This has
failed, because Christianity Is a re
ligion of the spirit, and the whole
some sanity of the church has re
colled from these attempts to label
outward forms and observances, how
ever good in themselves as vital
Christianity. We have all seen too
many instances of men who do none
of the doubtful things such as
smoking, card playing, etc., who
nevertheless show none of the spirit
of the gospel. It is altogether pos
sible for one to obey all these pro
scriptions and yet be too mean to
live with human beings.
This sort of thing is the essence
of Pharisaism. Conformity to out
ward ceremonies, as distinguished
from a religion of the spirt, begets
insincerity. The old Jews had added
to the forms of the Mosaic law
a bewildering array of detailed re
quirements. Then, as now, the East
loved a religion of ceremonial. The
Koran Is full of It. Even as a Mos-*
lem may observe the intricate rit
ual of motions and washings and
prayings and fastings and pilgrim
age, and still remain a cruel, blood
thirsty, lecherous oppressor of his
fellow men, so the pharlsee could
keep the ceremonial law, even down
to giving a tithe out of the mint
patch In his back yard, and yet re
main a moral monster. And to be
wholly frank, we are not unac
quainted with the type of church of
ficer who has Incarnated in himself
the criminal practices of "big busi
ness," who has been in unholy al
liance with corrupt politicians, who
has rented property at high rates
for evil purposes, who has under
paid his employes and kept child
laborers under the yoke.
That is the sort of man whom this
rugged, truth-telling Carpenter ar
raigned openly, thereby causing so
cial consternation. Every active
church worker should examine him
self carefully. In the light of this
tremendous passage of Scripture, re
membering that the blistering "Woe
unto you" was addressed to the pro
fessionally religious, and not to the
outcast and disreputable.
The Sensational Speech
No comments upon It can have
the force and pertinency of this ut
terance of Jesus Itself. The passage
will at least interpret to some read
ers the origin of the phrase, "The
Inside of the Cup."
"Now as He spake, a Pharisee
asketh Him to dine with him;
and He went In, and sat down to
meat. And when the Pharisee
saw It, he marveled that he
had not first bathed himself
before dinner. And the Lord
said unto him. Now ye the
Pharisees cleanse the outside of
the cup and of the platter; but
your inward part is full of ex
tortion and wickedness. Ye
foolish ones, did not He that
maktt the outside make the In
side Tilso? But give for alms
those things which are within;
and behold, all things are clean
unto you.
"But woe unto you Pharisee!
for ye tithe mint and rue and
every herb, and pass over Jus
tice and the love of God; but
these ought ye to have done,
and not to leavfl the other un
done. Woe unto you Pharisee!
for ye love the chief seats In
the synagogues, and the salu
tations in the marketplaces.
Woe unto you, for ye are »as
the tombs which appear not, and
the men that walk over them
i know It not.
"And one of the lawyers an
swering saith unto Him, Teach
er, In saying this Thou reproach
est us also. And He said, Woe
unto you lawyers also! for ye
load men with burdens grievous
to be borne, and ye ourselves
touch not the burdens with one
of your fingers. Woe unto you!
for ye build the tombs of the
prophets, and your fathers killed
them. So ye are witnesses
and consent unto the works of
your fathers; for they killed
them, and ye build their tombs.
Therefore also said the wisdom
of God, I will send unto them
prophets and apostles; and some
of them they shall kill and per
secute; that the blood of all the
prophets, which was shpd from
the foundation of the world,
may be required of this genera
tion from the blood of Abel unto
the blood of Zachariah, who
perished between the and
the sanctuary; yea, I say unto
you, it shall he required of this
generation. "Voe unto you law-

yers! for ye took away the key

"And when He was come out
from thence, the scribes and the
Pharisees began to press upon
Him vehemently, and to provoke
Him to speak of many things;
laying wait for Him, to catch
something out of His mouth."
Hard Knocks For Ecclesiastics
Why should the professionally re
ligious person, the man who makes a
business of the affairs of religion,
so readily succumb to the funda
mental temptations to avarice, self
aggrandizement, aristrocarcy and un
brotherllness? We shudder as we
rend Christ's terrific indictment of
the ecclesiastical leader of His time.
Nevertheless, we know from our ob
servation and experience that the
charges lie against the door of some
of their successors. Falsehood, ruth
less personal ambition, rank disloy
alty to friends and to honor, a total
lack of concern for the real work
of the kingdom—one can give names
and particulars in support of these
allegations against eminent eccles
iastics; while many others, of course,
are real saints. Is it any wonder
that some brave men in the church
refuse to consider ecclesiastical posi
tions?
Never was this particular teach
ing of Jesus more timely than now.
This is the era of revolt against class
dominance. The churches feel this.
We have entered the day of demo
cracy; and democracy demands and
must have sincerity as its basis.
Only true men are fit to govern
themselves and one another. The
moment pretense arrives, real demo
cracy begins to depart. "Truth in
the inward parts" is the very life
blood of democracy.
And for that Jesus pleaded. Woe,
and only woe awaits the person who
builds up a religious life primarily
for other people's eyes to see.' Re
ligion is not reputation: it is char
acter. It is the hidden, godward
side of life. "The Father who seeth
in secret," is its judge and rewarder.
The faith taught by the Master
and the apostles is a life "hid" with
Christ in God;' it shuns the street
corners and the chief seats. There
is nothing professional or self-parad
ing about it.
In this discourse which set His
hearers by the ears, the unconven
tional Nazarene made specifically
the point, as a charge against the
lawyers, or interpreters or the sacred
canon, that they loaded up the
people with burdens which they
themselves did not bear. They
| preached, but did not practice. To
them religion was something apart

"I Felt Miserable, But Was Not Sick;
Tired, But Was Not Lazy; All Run
Down, Yet Not Overworked,"
Says Herman Gans
The above words expressed the con
dition of Mr. Herman Gans at the
time he commenced using Quaker Ex- i
tract and Oil of Balm four weeks ago.
He seemed to have lost all vim and
ambition, felt more tired in the morn
ing than when he went to bed the i
night before. His tongue always had a
heavy white coating, causing his taste
to be poor and his breath bad. After
taking Quaker Extract a few days he
expressed disappointment, as it did not
•eem to be helping him much. He con
tinued taking it, however, and ba£ora .
from present, every-day life, like the
building of memorials to the men of
a dead past. They hindered the peo-
from understanding how near
and real, and here and now true re
ligion is. For if religion is unreal,
something to be talked about and
argued over and prescribed for other
people, and not a new life and trans
formed character for one's self, it is
only a show and a pretense, as Jesus
said.
Tlio Good Time Coming
Everybody is asking how we are
going to solve our clamorous social
problems. Some look ©vereagerly
to legislation. Others pin their faith
upon the slow processes of educa
tion. Still others merely trust to
luck. But the Jesus way, as her<»
Indicated, Is the fundamental way
He wants a social order based upon
sincerity and service. His program
for a better world is by better men
and women. The kingdom which He
established, and upon which He pin
ned His faith, is made up of individ
uals who accept His platform and
share His life.
There have been eras wherein re
ligious thought overemphasized in
dividualism; but forever the need
abides for men and women whose
lives are kept right in the sight of
God. Among the friends of Jesus
there is no divorce evil, no scandal
of double living, no oppression of
other men, no cruel wealth and no
bitter poverty. When the religion
of the spirit reigns, and people live
with the supreme ambition to be
well-pleasing unto Christ, the Inside
of the cup is clean, even If the out
side is not polished.
