All of our studies in the life of Jesus are made freshly vivid by the , activities of the armies in the Holy -; I .and. Where Jesus walked the sol j diers of (Canada and Australia aud e 1 Great Britain now march. In a real j sense they "follow in His train." t ' They are the successors of His disci ples of old. Reverently we may say that Jesus still walks with them amid the scenes dead to His feet. He - is in Palestline to-da.v in newness and largeness of power, working out great world purposes through armies j who light for righteousness. The very designs of (Sod seem to | be contingent upon the issues of this war. It is such vast and holy con j siderations that make us willing to 1 j give ourselves and our sons to the ' ' struggle, sure that they are thus ful j tilling the .divine end of destiny. The throb of exultation which went j through Christendom at the capture | of Jerusalem, a city not especially ' important from a military stand i point, revealed how closely thoughts iof religion are interwoven with the . war. Men C'alleil to Ktislit ' i A curious fact about the pacifists j is that those who know least about I the Bible are the ones who are trying Ito quote it most freely. They read 1 the prohibition of private nuii'der. i "Thou Hhalt Not Kill," and seem not j to know that the Mosaic Code pro [ ceeds to describe capital puiiishment ; as the punishment by society and by ; God for various offenses* against the I common weal. Likewise, they appeal ! to the gentleness and love of Jesus. 1 j apparently unaware of His repeated ' outbursts of wrath against those who ! wrong their fellows. I No pacifist could he expected to \ know, for instance, that when Jesus | sent forth His Twelve Apostles, He 1 commissioned them "to preach, to heal sickness, and to cast out I devils." That is, they were to be \ helpers and fighters. They were sent forth to war against evil, as well as ~ to proclaim righteousness. They were •I to be in conflict with sin and ail its agents. The biggest battle of time ; (and one that is still being fought i j out in the present war), was taken on by Jesus and His disciples at the ! beginning of His organized work. 1 Nobody is a full worker for Christ | who is not able to fight hs well as to j preach. A >lan \>ru<i n Church steeple How dramatically this new era !s reversing old procedures! Until the war broke, we were all busy building up institutions. Little was attempt ed on a broad scale in religion ex cept by organizations." Indeed the j 1 suspicion was prevalent that the best ,of our powers were going to the ; strengthening of congregations anil J I denominations and societies and : "movements," rather than to the min istry of mankind. The world's in vestment in religious institutions and their salaried workers, from the tinaricial side alone, was staggering. Now, of a sudden, we hear the • camps calling for men—real men, with an essential, vital message. The average parson, it seems, makes a poor padre for the troops. It Is the r< d-blooded. fearless, brotherly man, who is not disturbed by the smash ing of conventions, whom this life and death ministry calls. Our boys "over there" do not need a variety of buildings and organizations; they want men who can speak the real j word, and lend the real helping hand. One chaplain or secretary of the j Young Men's Christian Association. • of the right sort, is worth a dozen I societies and denominational build i ings. The New Call For the Church It takes no gift of . prophecy to , perceive that the deeper tendency among Cl.iistian leaders is hack to ward the Christ way of making disci ples and putting into everyday men and women new ideas and new pur poses: and then trusting them to find ways of making over the world. A man is bigger than a church steeple; and his kingdom-capacity is greater j than an apartment house and gym ! r.asium and school combined. "Back 'to man." will be the new cry. The elemental human resources that God < ! has used from the beginning still re- ; main the chief dependence of the , Kingdom of Heaven. This lesson j ■ ipoll the call of the Twelve Apostle." j i ; timely and capable of significant development In the right hands. | There is no blinking the fact that j i these claimant times demand some- j I thing radical of the church. The realization of new opportunities has ! brought a new urgency, and new lense of the Immediateneas of the duty 1 of thq church to rise' to this fresh ! occasion. There never has been such j call upon the forces of religion ,by I social, political, and economic con- I ditions as to-day. Realizing this, certain zealous per- | 1 sons would turn the church into a j • debating club or a charitable relief i j .iocietv. Others would shatter all ec i Sesiastical organization, and quickly merge the various bodies into a col | orless entity. The Crowded Christ So serene and poised was the Mas- I ter and so free from the distraction i of the cares that thronged His days : t bat we forget how really crowded ! with work He was. Observe the re-I ci rrence In His biography of the sin- ! ..•1,, phrase, "a great multitude" which followed Him. He literally was pressed by people. They impaired | His liberty of action; they robbed Him of rest: they made Him a scr j vant of the poorest and the neediest. * And what needs that throng em d! Jesus seem to he the focus I I of all the sin and suffering and woe ; and want of His world. Every man I with a burden or a grief crowded ] toward Christ. Physically, it was imposible for Him to minister to all who needed Him, or to carry His message to all | the places ready for it. Then, as I now. He must go to the feet of His i friends if He would run all the er rands of the Father. He is in this j our Exemplar. There is scant wis dom in trying to do a great work i alone. We must- all learn to labor I with people. If leaders, we must 1 utilize helpers and train them to : their highest efficiency. The respon slbillty that comes to us we must j distribute. Every leader should mul j tiply himself by his disciples. Thus, in the purpose of Christ, His college of apostles became himself twelve times repeated.' Tli<- I'oMxihllitlrn of I'lain Men Jesys did not wait for geniuses. Tile differences between a good ex ecutive and a second rate one is that ! the Rood executive can take the ma i teriai in hand fand utilize it effec tively. The second rate man goes ; about whining over the lack of com petent helpers. We are prone to bo ; mistaken in our estimate of the apos j ties, for we see them in the ripeness {of their power and service. When I they were called by the of Gal ' ilee they were amazingly, like you ; and me. All of them were average, | everyday folk, without much social I poise or polish. Most of them were | more at home in a lumbering, fish ; I odorous boat than in a palace or In I | "good society." bet us get hold of I this great truth. Anal.v/.c the list of -I the twelve and in' temperament and ifi training they are seen to be com - mon folk; more common than the av erage of delegates at any religious 8 convention to-day. I We are prone to boast of the big L I names that adorn our churches and i religious organizations. We are . jpioud of the rich and famous lay ' j men who are on our lists. The. exal -1 i tation of the merely wealthy or prominent to places in church work " j has reachefi an absurd length. Those J j who have worked with them have ' | come to see that these are not the j men who make things go. The ex " ; ample of .lesus rises up to remind us ' ! that His source of supply, the every -1 | day folk wtio toil, is still at hand. Why should our secretaries spend * ' their time trying to beguile a reluc \ ' tant hour or two from a busy man *j of affairs, when there are virile, J forceful young men with unoccupied ' | time in all our churches waiting only 1 i the call of leadership? , ; The amazing fact about the whole . j story is what Jesus can do with an ordinary man. We talk much of the I self-made man, but he is not to lie compared with the Christ-mads man. j The most ordinary person. plus I Christ, becomes an extraordinary i person. The twelve untutored rustic | Galileans, about whom we study to day. became the statesmen of the world's greatest empire. That group of Syrian peasants have changed all the history of the race, and are still at work in our own time. Their achievements throw into the shade those of Alexander and the Caesars. The High ( nil Garibaldi summoned his recruits to long marches, to hunger, to pri vation. to wounds, to death. His followers leaped in heroism to the high summons. So it is no easy al legiance that Jesus offers to His dis ciples. He calls men and women into service that is hard as it is holy. He bids them give themselves to the difficult task of being salt for the salvation of society. As salt is ever in danger of losing its savor, so Christians are subject to the con stant temptation of losing their salt ness—their uniqueness, their power to preserve—because they become like the lump they are meant to I leaven. Likewise Jesus bade His disciple* j to be the lights of the world. Then, I as now, the 'salvation of a neighbor hood and of a state depends upon I | the righteous men. No nation can j ! live without the lives that are light j and that are salt. These are the hope of our time. No city can get so bad that even a handful of true disciples cannot redeem it. Ten righteous men would have saved Sodom. The day's need is voiced by the hymn of the brotherhoods: "Jesus calls us, o'er the tumult Of our life's wild, restless sea: Day by day His sweet voice soundeth Saying, 'Christian, follow Me.' As of old. apostles heard it By the Galilean lake. : Turned from home and toil and kin dred. Leaving all for His dear sake." Program For Y. M. C. A. ' Entertainment at Wiconisco Wiconisco, Pa., Feb.
