EECZ77 I urn Religion as Satisfaction By Rev. Hugh T. Kerr, Palor of Fullctton Avenue Presbyterian Church, Chicago TKXT-Ono thing thou lackest. Mark 10:21. This Is a character study In black and whlto. Tho picture Is drawn by a determined hnnd nnd thero Is no hint of hcsltntlon. Stroko follows stroke until tho complete portrait Is boforo us. Tho story Is as comploto ns It la concise t begins In comedy nnd ends In tragedy. Tho young man, Impulslvo, optimistic and tompornmontnlly on' thuslnstlc, hurries breathlessly into tho proBonco of Jesus with tho long hushed question of his heart upon his Hps, nnd thon whon our hopes for him nro htghoBt wo behold him making what Dante calls "Tho Groat Re fusal" and returns to his old llfo as 111 nt enso and with his heart as hungry ns over. Let us not misunderstand UiIb young mnn. Ho wns no comedian trifling with sacred things nnd then cnstlng them thoughtlessly away from him. Ho was Intense, enthusiastic, n nobleman nt heart, and whon Jesus looked upon him ho fell In lovo with him. Ho had cllmbod tho ladder of lawful am bition, nnd whilo still n young man wns In tho council of tho oldcrs. Honor did not Bpoll tho humility ot his henrt, nnd In tho prasenco of tho Mas jtor ho bowed In grnceful rovoronce Richly endowed with worldly wonlth, Jio was still moro richly endowed with. a nature rich In tho virtues that mako for righteousness. Jesus was Intensely Interested in this young man. Wo road that "Ho jlovod him." I think ho was lntorost- )od In him on nccount of his youth. Christ nnd young manhood, as has ))oon Bald, aro as magnot and Bteol. This young. man had nil his llfo to Jlvo. Tho years with all their possl blo achievements woro still bofon him. Christ wns Interested In this young man becauso ho was rich. Riches and wealth moant power, nnd power la an other namo for responsibility. Joaua spoko hard words about rich men and about rich men who loved monoy, who trusted In monoy, who becauso oC tholr monoy forgot about God. Jesus, however, did not dosplso a man be catiBO ho was rich. Ho loved tho rich young rulor. It wna a rich man who begged hla lifeless body as It hung unclaimed upon tho cross. Two rich' men took hla dead body nnd wrapped. It tenderly In tho choicest of linen nnd laid It awny In a costly sopulchor. Jesus knows nnd recognizes no class. RIchos and poverty to him nro but tho tools with which character fashions clr cumstnnces. "Tho mnn's tho gowd for a' thnt." It Is wrltton of him that "ho mado his gravo with tho rich In hla loath." Thoro 1b pathos and tragedy in that sontonco. "Must tho Mastor wnlt till death to dwell In tho hab itations of tho rich?" Mny ho not mako his nbodo with tho rich In hla llfo? Lot tho rich man opon tho door nnd Christ will ontor In to shnro his lono ly isolation, nnd will Batlsfy tho hun ger of his heart. Josub was interested In this youna man becnuso bo was moral. His llfo iwaa puro and hla hands clonn. For him ;a good namo was bottor than great riches. Ho followed tho quest of tho host. Ho wns ono of tho Knights ot ,tho Round Table, who had pledged hla honor to "Hvo aweot llfo of purost chastity." To gain tho lovo and nd miration ot Jesus it 1b not nocossnry to wandor off Into forbidden paths of aln, and to run tho gauntlet of a 'dlflslpatod llfo. For all young men; who are lighting sin nnd tho devil and carrying a clean conscience In tho. midst of contaminating circumstances Jesus has a warm wolcome. Josus wuo luterostod In this young man, who, with his youth, his position, his lulluonco, his purity of llfo, was still dissatisfied and camo with tho cry of unrest "What lack I yot?" This 1b n wonderful thing that bo should havo so much and yet not havo enough. Jobub answered tho young man'a question by n command. "Como, follow mo." In a groat book recontly pub lished thoro Is this Btriklng sontonco, "If tlo gods wont tholr way nnd woro satisfied, and tho boasts wont tholr wny nnd wero satisfied, tho unrest oC man can only moan thnt ho 1b not rightly related to his present llfo." Now, Is not that Just tho truth? IIow can a man bo rightly rolnted to this present liro In which ho Is sot If ho leaves out God nnd rofuses to becomo related to tho eternal renlltlos that llo all around him, In tho world of truth and bonuty and goodnoss? Aro youth, and worldly honor, and riches tho only things that llfo needs to bo related to? Out ot all theso human relationships tho cry is heard, "What lack I yot?" And Jesus responds promptly, "you lack tho lovo and tho light of tho proa onco of tho God or truth." Tho human heart Is homeless until It finds tho Heavenly Father." Find God, nnd you And rest and penco and' satisfaction. Religion la satisfaction. Religion completes llfo and porfectB lovo, nnd only In tho prosenco of aod Is tho soul satisfied. No Bacrlflco is too groat to gain this great troasuro. "Soli all that you havo and give to tho poor If nocoa sary." Lot nothing hold you back from following after ChrlBt In tho llfo ot Bolt-surrendor and loving service
