SOII For October 25 Is "Jesus and
Judas."—Mailt. 28:14-25; 47-50;
27:3-10
(By William T. Ellis)
Only a very few names are known
to all the civilized world; and there
Is but one that is the synonym of
treason, ingratitude and black dis
loyalty. To say "Judas," is to call
up the world's one personality whose
name is synonymous with all that
humanity instinctively despises. The
worst adjective that can be fcppUed
to any man to-day is to call him a
"Judas."
Yet "Judas, the Traitor," was once
Judas the loyal, warm-hearted, as
piring Jewish patriot, seeking to fol
low the best light he could find. As
ti mother sees her innocent babe in
the face of her murderer son, so we
cannot help recalling the other Ju
das the man who might have been.
Orthodox —But a Traitor
Only one of the twelve apostles
came from ultra-orthodox Judea,
and he was Judas. The aristricarcy
of the Jewish religion was found in
the province of Judea. They counted
themselves a little more loyal to Je
hovah and the law, than their fellow
Jews from other parts. By ancestry
and environment Judas had greater
advantages than his comrades. He
was the ultra-orthodox disciple
whose home was nearest to the tem
ple and its religious privileges.
If any man is counting on his fam
ily line, or his social and religious
standing to deliver him from disloy
alty and sin, he would better take a
iong look at the case of Judas. No
man is so high that he may not fall
low. Church membership does not
save one from treason to Christ.
Even activity in religious work is
no guarantee that one may not fall
into grievious sin. The first simple
message of the Judas story is to be
self-distrustful and modest. "Let
him that standeth take heed lest he
fall."
"One ship drives East, another drives
West,
While the selfsame breezes blow;
'Tis the set of the sails, and not the
gales,
That bids them where to go.
"Like the winds of the air, are the
wars of the fates,
As we journey along through life,
'Tis the set of the soul that decides
the goal.
And not the storm or the strife."
My Way, or Not at All
No man knows the hour when Ju
das, the loyal, expectant and trust
ful disciple, began to change into
Judas, the resentful, scheming
avaricious traitor. Evidently, his
first disloyalty was unwillingness to
trust Christ's plan. In common with
the other disciples, he did not ap
prove of Christ setting up a spirit
ual kingdom instead of a temporal.
All his expectations had been di
rected towqrd the restoration of
earthly power. He had always held
in mind the possibility of a large place
for himself. Sure of his own worldly
■wisdom ho could not agree to what
lie regarded as an anti-climax for
the career of Jesus and His friends.
He represented a large number of us
who are willing to serve God, but
on our own terms.
Then Judas was a lover of money.
Avarice ate Into his soul like a gan
grene. The old church fathers la
beled avarice as one of the seven
deadly sins, and with reason. It is
not only a sin in itself, but it begets
a whole swarm of other sins.
Perfectly respectable and law
abiding persons are the ones likeli
est to be overwhelmed Iby this sin of
avarice, which slays more souls than
the sin of murder. We are fond of
calling it "thrift," "prudence,"
"business sagacity," when it is noth
ing but sheer, stark, ruthless love
of money. Avarice made Judas a
murderer and a traitor; even as it
has changed many another God
fearing man into a hard, cruel, sus
picious, money-grabbing oppressor of
his fellow men. In the black shadow
of the Judas crime may we not for
swear solemnly the beginnnings of
the deadly sin of avarice?
Kuiyiing; With a New Crowd
Sweeter, tenderer and more beauti
ful than all the prayer meetings
ever held was that which Jesus
shared with His disciples on the last
night in the upper room. The com
fort of that gathering has blessed the
world for' nineteen centuries since.
Judas shirked it. He had no taste
for prayer meetings—a symptom of
his moral and spiritual decline,
which he did not fully realize himself.

He forsook the gathering in the up
per room before the Last Supper was
instituted, and sought out a crowd
more in accord with his new mood.
Imagine the horror if it! Judas
who had walked day and night in
the sweet fellowship of Jesus and
the Eleven, was now consorting with
the Pharisees and priests and aristo
cratic foes of Jesus. We seß him
next the center of a crowd made up
of temple police, Roman soldiers and
the blood-thirsty mob. Littl-j joy
he had in this company.
Nor did they have any more
pleasure in him. In all that mob
who accompanied him to the trysting
place of Jesus, there was none so low
as to respect the traitor. He had
betrayed his manhood. The very men
who used him, cast him off, and bade
him bear his own sin and shame.
No man ever was permanently
satisfied with a bad bargain. News
has recently come from Ireland con
cerning a well-known figure in the
financial world, who was a passen
ger on the ill-fated Titanic. He used
his authority to secure a place in one
of the boats, although many women
and children were drowned. The
whole world pointed a finger of scorn
at him. He was obliged to retire
from all his official positions. Now
he has secluded himself in an Irish
estate, where even the peasants curse
his name as they pass his gates. In
every bitter hour of the existence
that he thought would bo sweet life,
he now knows that death were far
better than this odium. He betrayed
his manhood and has learned the
Judas lesson, that he gave all and
got nothing. It was logical that Ju
das shoud kill himself; for all that
makes life worth living had been
killed for him by his denial of his
own manhood.
Love's Sign as Treason's Token
Some persons deny that there is a
devil, but no explanation short of
Satan himself etui account for the
act of Judas, when he came to point
out his master and friend to his
murderers. Disappointment, ambi
tion, overwhelming avarice, might
account for his trafficking with the
enemies of Christ, but to betray him
by a 'kiss—that needs Satan for its
explanation.
It was not a casual kiss, a dainty
peck at the lips, such as we see two
women give when they meet. The
Greek word shows us that Judas
kissed his master with all the pas
sionate ardor of unrestrained affec
tion, a better translation would be—
"He kissed Him again and again";
as the prodigal's father kissed his
returning son; and as the grateful
woman kissed the feet of the Master.
The same word is used in all these
cases. Delilah's betrayal of Samson
was not comparable to this horrible
simulation of the highest devotion
for the purpose of tho lowest be
trayal.
"Ilail! Master!" The familiar
and affectionate old greeting of the
comrade days when the Twelve
traveled together with their Lord,
was the word that accompanied the
act of berayal. There was not one
of the beholders, who possessed a
vestige of manhood, that did not
loathe this ingrate's act, as he thus
sold his best friend to death for the
sake of a few pieces of silver.
Those who have looked most deeply
into life, are assured that one of
the master-words to dominate con
duct is loyalty. The good business
man and the politician
alike count this the cardinal virtue.
They stand true to those who have
any claim upon their allegiance.
Loyalty alone is worth while.
Friends may prove false, but we, at
least, may stand true. As Shakes
peare says, "Love is not love which
alters when it alteration finds." The
simple reason why thousands of
American homes are being ship
wrecked is that they have lost sight
of the pre-eminent place of loyalty,
which transcends even the obliga
tions of love. In religious work, in
business, in politics, in social life,
loyalty is the virtue which, perhaps
more than any other, la called for at
the present time.
Judas was the .freatest of all hu
man catastrophes, the completest of:
mortal failures. Let us learn from I
his abject figure that It Is only worth
while in life to follow the example
of Judas' steadfast Master, who
"Having loved his own he
loved them unto the end."
