4 SAMARITANISM UP TO DATE The International Sunday School lesson For August 24 Is, "Social Responsibility"—Luke 10:25-27 By WILLIAM TTELLIS Frightened folk fear that the war is not doing the work of liberty and justice and brotherhood about which we all talked so grandiloquently. They thought that righteousness was limited to breaking Prussian ty ranny; they never dreamed that It meant also the breaking of the ty ranny of the British mine-owneis and their lordly complacency. That soldiers would come home from trenches and dugouts In France to demand an immediate transforma tion of living conditions, so that the housing problem is foremost among British public questions, was far from the thought of many who were snugly ensconsced in an immemorial social order. That wages and hours and social emancipation should at once succeed Belgian and French wrongs as American war issues was beyond the anticipation of the world four years ago. We are in for an era of economic and social transformation. The war is still going on. Now as in the early stages of the fighting in France, there are panicky conditions and wrong estimates and blunders galore. There are no longer any divine rights of privileged classes to be conserved. We are bunglingly busy about the huge task of making all the Jericho roads of life safe for travellers, rich and poor: that is the new Good Sa marltanism. It is not enough to henl wounds: we now seek to pre vent them.

The Angel and tile Bridge. At the World's Fair in Chicago hung a popular picture of a little child crossing a stream over a nar row bridge with a broken rail. Un seen by the child, a guardian angel kept it from falling. Eyes of moth ers grew moist as they viewed the beautiful painting. It was left for a hard-headed farmer to make the criticism that surpassed the expert opinions of nil the authorities upon art, for he said simply, "Why doesn't the angel mend the rail and go on about its business?" There you have the modern spirit. We do not want angels to safe-guard us from avoidable dangers: we want the dangers removed. It is well that a mother should pray that her little boy may not have his hand cut off in the dangerous machinery of the mill: it is better that the law should compel the mill-owner to in stal safety devices to prevent such accidents—and that little boys who should be in school should not have to work In mills. In other words we have incor porated the Good Samaritan spirit into our common laws. Instead of building almshouses and rescue mis sions, we abolish the saloons, which furnish them with most of their raw material. Where we used to build reformatories for wayward children, we now seek to provide them witli education and hygienic environment which will keep them out of re- formatories. Preventive righteous ness is being substituted for reclama tion. Jcriclio Road Now Safe. I was to have gone down to Jeri cho this morning; instead, I am re maining in my room to write. All the spice has departed from the journey between Jerusalem and Jeri cho. For ages it was a favorite re ( sort for bandits. When I made the trip on horseback, nine years ago, I went armed. To-day, the expedi tion is a one-day automobile outing, i with no danger except from steep ( roads. The British occupation has brought safety to Palestine. Dr. ' John 11. Finley who was hero with ' the American Red Cross, covered most of the land on foot and alone. ' The new era is one of safety instead | of succor. Does this take the point from the 1 Good Samaritan story? Far from : it. The principle taught by Jesus ( is operative in the spirit which seeks ■ to reorganize the world on the basis 1 of the welfare of all the people. The modern Good Samaritan is simply eliminating the highwaymen. When 1 we make the world safe for democ : racy we are doing a wholesale Good Samaritan business. A Classic of Xolgliborlliioss. ; A hair-splitting theologian af ; forded the occasion of one of the most beautiful parables In litera l ture. He had tried to enmesh Jesus t with catch-questions about eternal ! life. The Master simply quoted to him his own law, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all ; thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself." That made the doctor of religious ; law squirm. Like all the sons of , Adam, he sought to justify himself, and asked, "Who is my neighbor?" ' Whereupon Jesus told the story of neigliborliness: "A certain man [ went down from Jerusalem to Jeri cho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And hy chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed hy on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he Jour neyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compas sion on him, and went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an Inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when hp departed, he took out two pence and gave them to the host, and said unto him. Take care of him and whatsoever thou spend est more, when I come again I will repay thee. Which now of these three thinkest thou was neighbor unto him that, fe'l among thieves? And he said, lie that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him. Go and do thou likewise." A Program For Our Day That story tits all times. It pene trates to the core of the question of social responsibility. The Master, whose tongue was ever sharp when mJRRISBTTRG TELEO*CSPg ho spoke of ecclesiastics, dealt caus tically with the priest and the levlte who trusted to their orthodoxy and their position for righteousness. Then he showed how a despised Sa maritan—how the theologian must have rebelled at the example—was a better neighbor than either of the Jews whose business it really was to care for their own. Neighborliness, in a word, is a| matter of need and of opportunity. Anybody we can help, be he in the alley back of us, in the mansion on the Main street or in the jungle of Timbuctoo, is our neighbor. Theo retically, the Paris Conference is the exemplification of the modern the ory of neighborliness. Everybody owes all his power to the service of even the remotest and the weakest. This test which Jesus gave to the lawyer is a good one for the pres ent time. By it men and movements and nations may be judged. What is your program, self-exploitation or neighborliness? Why does a Na tion want mandatories, in order to help needy people or to enhance its own territorial position? Are you a good neighbor, pr a Bolshevik? Lay the Good Samaritan parable alongside of the Russian situation and at once it becomes clear where in Bolshevism falls short: ,It fails to promote neighborliness, and fos- class hatred instead. It makes men more ready to hurt than to help. It does not accept everybody, low, middle and high, as a neigh bor and a brother. The Russian word "Tavarish," or comrade, is us ually reserved for workmen, peas ants and soldiers: the merchant, the manufacturer, the professional man, are denied it. By this test of neigh borliness the day's radicalism col lapses. It is not Bill of good will to men. It is well that just now the Sunday schools of the world are studying social responsibility in such simple terms. Social service is not a highbrow cult: it is only being kind and just and helpful to everybody, in particular and in general. This spirit which is none other than the spirit of Jesus, is the salt that will save our fermentin gworld from rotten ness. 7,000 Officers and Men to Remain in Germany After September 30 By Associated Press.

Anthracite Miners Will Lose No Time in Making Demands Wilkes-narrr, Pa.. Aug. 22. An thracite mine workers will not wait j until next March to present their de mands to the operators. The original agreement does not expire until March 31, and there have been sup plemental agreements for the war period. The ratification of the peace treaty, which will officially bring the war to a close, will automatically ab rogate the supplemental agreements and leave the original in force. The anthracite men are planning to lay their demands before the op erator at the earliest possible time, and news that filters out from the inner circles is that the union will ask for conferences at once. Allies Should Oust Hungarian Archduke, Is Hoover's Opinion Paris, Aug. 22. Herbert Hoover, head of the international relief or ganization, who has Just returned from a two weeks' trip through cen tral Europe, told American corres pondents to-day that it is imperative that decisive diplomatic action be taken immediately to displace Arch duke Joseph as head of the Hungar ian Government and to give Hungary a chance to establish a popular Gov ernment.

SCIENTISTS SEE VOLCANOES SPURT Peaks in Southwestern Corner of Alaska Arc in Eruption Junenn, Alaska, Aug. 22.—Volcanic peaks in the far southwestern cor ner of Alaska are In eruption this summer evidently for the benefit of a party of scientists sent by the National Geographic Society to study Mount Katmai, the greatest of Alaska's smoking mountains, and Its "Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes." Persons who have returned from the volcanic country to the westward said Shishaldin Peak, on Unimak Is land, in the Aleutian chain, was in eruption recently. They also report ed It was believed Mount Bavloff, on the southwestern Alaskan mainland, also had spouted as the snow about the summit was coal bla?k. When the party of scientists left Anchorage, Alaska, on their way to the Katmai country, they said they believed there was little likelihood of an eruption this summer and de clared they were certain there was absolutely no danger attached to the investigation. Katmai's last big "blow oft" was in June, 1912. The party of twenty-six scientists is headed by Professor Robert A. Griggs of the University of Ohio, and some are from Carnegie Insti tute. The.v are planning to make ob servations of the botanical, biologi cal and geological effects of the 1912 eruption. In 1913 Professor Griggs headed a party of scientists to Katmai and re turned with the announcement that the crater was the largest on the Globe and that near Katmai lay a great valley whose floor was dotted with thousands of mouths vomiting gray gas and smoke. This valley. Professor Griggs named "The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes." Instead of ten thousand, it is said there are literally millions cf smoking vents. Congress recently set aside "The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" as National property and it is believed that some day it will be a second Yellowstone geyce.r field. Steaming springs, it is said, will eventually take the place of the present smok ing vents. Professor Griggs and his partv ex pect to remain in the Katmai district until the middle of September. Until they return nothing probably will be heard from them as there is no direct means of communication. Mrs. Griggs and her children accompanied the professor to Kodiak, an island near Katmai, and will remain there FRECKLES Now In the Time to Get Hid of Thcne I'gly Spots.
