SOME SQUABBLING SAINTS
The International Sunday School Lesson For November 23 Is
"Jestts Corrects John's Narrowness"—Luke 9:16-56
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS
Newest fashions are but the oldi
brought back again by the turning
of time's wheel. What is. used to
be. Prophets and preachers rail
against the evils of the day as fresh
ly-invented sins, whereas they were
old before men began to soratch on
soft clay with triangular sticks.
Our world has been thrown askew
by the self-seeking and rapacity of
the powers about the Peace Table;!
although wo fought the greatest of
wars to break the ruthless self-ag
grandizement of one nation. Now
we find ourselves amid industrial
and economical turmoil which clear
ly roots in individual selfishness.
All these high offenses we arraign
as the sin of the times. Because men
are looking out for number one, the
problem of life has become baffling.
That is no new thing. Here we
have a Sunday school lesson which
starts out with saints squabbling
for priority of place and advantage.
Each wanted to be greatest, just like
the participants in a modern social
or political quarrel. The scene is as
up-to-date as to-day's newspaper.
And the men concerned were the
close companions of Jesus, the foun
dation stones upon which he was to
build his church. We have a rather
uncharitable feeling of gratification
that these disciples were quite as
human as you and I! Their sins
were our sins. Monkind's oldest ail
ment, pain, every-day, ugly selfish
ness, afflicted them flh it afflicts us.
The Story Itself
First to get the Bible story, which
is the basis of the lesson. We use
the Weymouth version:
"Sow there arose a dispute
among them, which of them
was to be the greatest. And
Jesus, knowing the reasoning
that was in their hearts, took
a young child and made him
stand by His side and said to
them.
" 'Whoever for my sake re
ceives this little child, receives
me: and whoever receives me,
receives Him who sent me. For
the lowliest among you all—he
is the greatest.,
" 'Rabbi," replied John, we
have seen a man making use of
your name to expel demons; and
we forbade him. because he
does not come with us.'
" "Ho not forbid hint,' said Je
sus, 'for he who is not against
you is on your side.'
"Now when the time drew
near for Hint to be received up
again to Heaven, He proceed
ed with fixed purpose towards
Jerusalem, and sent messengers
before Him. They went and en
tered a village of the Santari
tians to make ready for Him.
But the people there would not
receive Him. because He was
evidently goirtg to Jerusalem.
When the disciples James and
John saw this, they said.
" 'Master, do you wish us to
order fire to come down from
Heaven and sonsume them?'
"But He turned and rebuked
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
t them. And they went to anoth
er village."
As We Are
These, quarreling Christians could
not hide their dissensions from their
Leader, lie hud a rare gift of sens,
ing motives. His interest was in the
spirit of things. It is a meaty
morsel of Scripture which describes
Jesus as "knowing the reasoning
that was in their hearts." We may
deceive Mrs. Grundy, and defraud
the income tax collector, and even
mislead the bank's credit man; for
"man looketh on the outward ap
pearance, but the Lord looketh on
the heart." He knows us as we
really are. All transactions with
us are on the basis of this inner
reality. There is comfort as well
as warning In the lesson truth:
Christina Kossetti has expressed it in
a poem:
"Oh Lord, when thou didst call me,
didst thou know
My heart disheartened thro' and
thro'
Still hankering after Egypt full
in view
Where cucumbers and mellons grow?
Yes, I knew.
"But, Lord, when thou didst choose
me, didst thou know
How marred I was and withered,
too,
Nor rose for sweetness nor for
virtue rue.
Timid and rash, hasty and slow?
Yes, I knew.
"My Lord, when thou didst love me,
didst thou know
How weak my efforts were, how
few.
Tepid to love, and impotent to
do,
! Envious to reap, while slack to
I sow ? ,
Yes, I knew.
| "Good T.ord. who knowest what I
I cannot know,
1 And dare not know, my false, my
I true.
, My new. my old: good Lord,
arise and do,
|lf loving, thon hast known me so.
Yes, I knew.
A Childless Leader's Creed
Public men. without home ties,
jare singularly pathetic ligures. They
have no refuge from the stress of
'activjty. No little arms enfold their
(necks, no childish prattle warms
: their hearts, as they turn, wearied,
jirom the burdens of the common
: welfare. To such, the missed joys
; of domesticity shine with beautiful
j luster. Of course, they do not com
plain; whimpering is not a charac
teristic of strong men. Occasional-
I ly, as in the case of the greatest
i Publicist of all, we catch the note
of wistful appreciation ot' the char
acter of the child. Jesus, the chilci*
less, homeless Champion of God.
sharply rebuked his ombltious fol
lowers by pointing out that pride of
i place was not comparable with the
simple, guileless, sincere character
of the little child. Real greatness
' is childlikeness.
Two startling propositions Jesus
then made, both running flatly
counter to all worldly wisdom. First,
!he identified himself with the cause
of the child. Whatever is done unto
or for the child is done unto or for
the Christ. Anybody who would
honor Christ, has but to serve child
hood anywhere. What vast causes
and Institutions have been built upon
these few words of Jesus—the Sun
: day school itself, the child labor
laws, modern education, orphanage,
playgrounds, and an immeasurable
philanthropy.
Then Jesus made the child the
test. By its attitude toward the
child religion was to be judged,
j Civilization to-day has to accept the
same standard. It would be inter
esting. were there space, to work
out this gTeat idea in relation to our
latest conception of the "emancipa
i tion" of women from the home; our
: liberal views of divorce; our passion
I for luxury or entertainment; our
red radicalism with respect to the
1 organization and conduct of society.
Judged by the child-test, where does
1 Bolshevism stand? This is the prov
ing of every large proposal affecting
human life: how does it affect the
child? Parroters of "progressive"
I thought, who have no place for Je
sus, ignore the tremendous truth
that he who had no child of his own
• has been history's one great friend
and helper of childhood.
■ A Blow For Sectarianism
j We reverence as saints and mar
tyr's the apostles of the early
| Church; but during their lives they
were a blundering lot of humans,
! who received many a rebuke from
their Master. In this compact les
, son of to-day we have a timely
teaching upon religious tolerance.
John had come to the Leader ex
( ulting in his orthodoxy in forbidding
one not a member of their company
{ to use the name of Jesus in casting
I out demons. This youngest of the
1 apostles was early a zealot and a sec
tarian. We would not endure un
-1 authorized teachings. Outside of his
group there was no "regularity." It
i was the same spirit that wanted
I to call ddwn fire upon the inhospit
! able Samaritans.
I Of modern parallels every neigh
borhood Iras plenty. Here Is a min
ister who flatty avows that he would
: rather have half a hundred perfunc
. Tory attendants upon his own church
meeting than to have a thousand in
a community service. Less candid
is the view that it is better for good
work to go undone if not done by a
particular organization. A city min
; ister openly objected to a publicity
' campaign in the newspapers because
ihe was not Interested in getting
j people to go to church generally;
| lie would support only those mens
tires which brought attendants to
j bis own services. There is plenty of
. the stupid narrowness of young John
still In the church,
i There is no mistaking the clear
i attitude of Jesus himself. "Do not
! forbid him." said Jesug, "for he who
I is not against you is on your side."
j He was nn Incluslonist. and not an
; exrluslonist. He sought reasons fo
' standing with other men. rather
! than against them. Tn His snirlt ate
j the words of John Wesley, "f desire
: a league, offensive and defensive,
| with every servant of Jesus Christ."
A League of Hospitality"
| This war, with its emancipations,
has been prevocative of tolerance
i and wide horizons. The two mil
lion and a half boys from the United
! States and Canada who were in
j France have lost their provinclal
' ism. When the chaplains general
|of the A. E. F. were taking a vote
, in n certain regiment to learn the
; religious affiliations of the men. the
returns showed one hundred per
cent. Catholic. This was puzzling,
becnuse almost half the men were
known to he of Protestant origin.
Tnaulrv developed that the soldiers
, were afraid they might lose their
.nonular Catholic chaplain, and they
j valued his real Christian character
land service above any denomination*
al affiliation; so just to be on the
safe side„ they all enrolled as Cath
olics.
