SAYS THE TEACHER i Puritan Sabbath Ha* Gone With Knee Breeches and Broadbrimmed Hat DAY NOT MEANT TO BE YOKE On Other Hand, Secular Observ ances of the Day of Rest Are Not to Be Countenanced Th - international Snort ay School lies .son For March 15 Is "The Lawful j I sc of the Sabbath."— Luke 13:10- 17; 14: 1-10. (By William T. Ellis) Gone, along with the broad- i brimmed hats and knee breeches, is j the Puritan Sabbath. Nobody need j veep, because it never was a parti cularly Scriptural type of Lord's Day. Yet its passing has left one of the most perplexing problems in American church life to-day. The | character of the observance of the | Christian Sunday, which is really a| national instltulon, should be deter mined by purpose, and not "by drift, j Certainly the good folk who seem , willing to let the day become wholly j secular if it cannot be kept in the, fashion of their grandfathers are adding nothing to the solution of the j difficulty. The best authority to consult In this crisis is not the "tired business j man" but the far-seeing, ever- , sane and divinely-authorized Teacher, : Jesus Himself. A candid consid- ' eration of His practices and words, reveals a clear path out of the per- j plexlty which is confronting Chris tians in this twentieth century. Tin* Pictures linirntli the Whitewash That the great and essential He- \ brew institution called the Sabbath j had become overlaid with the accre tions of years, man-made regulations and practices, was fearlessly recog nized by Jesus. Tn the same way, many ancient masterpieces of art on church walls have become hidden beneath the whitewash and paint of custodians who knew not the real na -1 ure of what they were covering up. The precious Christian frescoes in the • Mosque of St. Sophia, Constantinople,! have thus been hidden by Moslem | overlay. The old Jewish doctors of the law liad elaborated the ritual of Sabbath- Keeping to the point of absurdity. A careful Jew could not catch a flea upon his person on the Sabbath, as this was a kind of hunting! The distance one might travel, and the particular tasks he might perform on this day, all were reduced to an exact tabulation. Rigid observance of the letter of the da:' led a thousand prtrlots, under the Maccabees, to suf fer death unresistingly, rather than fight on the Sabbath. Cutting athwart all this man-made ritualism was the radical declaration j of Jesus that "the Sabbath was made for man, and not inan for the Sab bath." That meant liberty. It real ized God's benign purpose in the day. By those great words the in stitution was once more set free to do its holy service for the highest welfare of man. Not a yoke of op pression, but a character of liberty and helpfulness, was this best of days, the memorial of man's relation 10 God. No Sabbath is well kept which is observed in a spirit of hard ship. restraint and joylessness. The Sabbath is a glad day, a rest day, a Ua> for looking up and for lifting up, a day lor developing the God \> urd aspect of human life. The "Go-to-Church" Idea A really organized enthusiasm l'or j h. "Go-to-Church" Sunday has! «pread all over the land. Great cities and small villages have entered Into the plan, showing a versatility ,ind resourcefulness for propaganda that is notable. The advertising of the church has become a new move ment. in present-day religion. All this is helping the world to perceive Hnew the profound considerations which underlie church attendance. Here we find, in the story which In the basis of this lesson, Jesus in Bttendance upon the synagogue, the church of His day. That was His practice. He stood for the best evi dence of organized religion in His lime. He found grave fault with some of its shortcomings, but He stood by it. He never broke loose l"rom the synagogue. From the van tage point of its services, He pro claimed a nobler type of worship. Nobody can find warrant in the words or example of the Master for spending all of Sunday on the golf links or in automobiling or in put tering about a warden. He was found arrayed with those who met for the worship of God on the Sab bath. That is the first testimony anybody can offer to the church; lack of it nullifies all other witness. Despite all he may say, the non r-hurch-goer is understood as not be ing oil the side of God and religion. The Scandalized Ecclesiastics Our own day's deep social sense is firmly buttressed in the practice and icachlngß of Jeßus. He put human welfare about ritual. Churchly etl nuette meant less to Him than the well-being of living men and women, lfis conception of the Sabbath was of a day that is beautiful in ministry to man. Tradition counted for noth ing as against helpfulness. Our own Sunday should be a day so helpful to all sides of man's nature that it will bind society together by a powerful spiritual tie.
