LIVING WITH PEOPLE OF
OTHER RACES
I Kings 8:41-43; Luke 10:25-37;
John 45-10; Acts 10:9-19, 28-35;
John 17:22-2S.
One of the great virtues in a Chris
tian is tolerance. As God is the
Father of all men, so is the Christian
a brother to all men. The Jew had de
veloped into a bigot, a narrow-minded,
intolerant person. How refresh
ing is the prayer of Solomon at the
dedication of the temple, when he
pours out his soul in that great out
burst of praise, thanksgiving and in
tercession of 50 verses, recorded in
I Kings, 8.
Here in America, the greatest melt
ing pot cf the nations, is the best
place to practice this virtue of toler
ance. It has been said that it is a
jnest serious problem to live with
men cf other races. We admit this,
where there is a lack of the Christ
spirit.
It would be next to impossible, es
pecially where men suffer from the
"superior compler," like the Jew of
Solomon's day. He recognized the
capabilities cf aliens and owns that
they may hear of God's great name,
and may come out of far lands for
his name's sake.
So should we, the American people,
who have been greatly blessed by
God, receive joyfully into that circle
of blessings, all foreigners who come
into it.
Hatred, as the condition between
Jews and Samaritans, was brought
about in this minner: When the Assy
rians bore off into esile the best cf
the inhabitants cf the Northern king
dom, they sent thousands of their
own pecple, idolaters, in their place.
1'hese intermarried with the Jews,
producing a mcngrel race, unortho
dox in religion (though they believed
in the Pentatench), having their own
temple and priesthood and on that
r.cccur.t not allowed to join in build
ing of the second temple. Hence a
jitter hatred arose between Jews and
famaiitans; they had no dealings
with each other. In this antipathy,
cf course, our Lord did not join. He
sought to win the Samaritans to the
jrjspcl and used the Good Samaritan
as an object lesson in his stirring
parable of a traveler going from Je
rusalem to Jericho. This man, an
orthodox Jew, was robbed, beaten
rr.d left in a deplorable condition.
1'iiest and Levite shewed him no
compassion, but the hated Samaritan
tomes along and takes care of him
rs he would his own brother.
Here our Lord taught a lesson of
true neigh borliness. God in Christ
made humanity his neighbor. Behold
ing humanity robbed of its true na
ture, wounded by its sin, unable to
rise, he came down to it, entered it,
healed and restored it. The incarna
Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Jennings have
a new granddaughter born to Mr. and
Mrs. Elmer Jennings, of Lincoln. The

dred and 'fifty acres last week, and

also the day last Sunday at the home
of Jr. and Mrs. Dan Hoschar, Mrs.
Hoschar being a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Lancaster.
Mrs. J. H. Farris entertained at
her homo on last Wednesday in hon
or of her friend, Mrs. A. G. Long, who
was passing her birthday anniversary.
All the large crowd which was pres
ent, enjoyed a very fine time.
Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Hallas and the
children, of Shelton, where Mr. Hal
las is engaged in the banking busi
ness, spent last Sunday at the home
of Murray friends. They had been
visiting in Flaitsmouth for a few days
as well.
Alvin Graves, of Omaha, with his
wife and five of the children, were

day of his grandfather, A. H. Graves,
who was 92 years old on that day. A
large family gathering wa3 held in

By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb.
tion has made human nature itself
sacred. The followers of Christ must
therefore see in every man his neigh
bor. . Love alone can determine who
is your neighbor. The more we love
our fellow-men and show them mercy,
the more shall we understand of the
love and mercy of God.
Once more we deal with a Samari
tan, this'time a woman. No parable,
but an actual experience of Jesus in
his first year's ministry. Teacheis
and preachers can learn here of how
to approach men; the tact and wis
dom Jesus displayed in winning this
woman, who became the first mission
ary to her race and what a success
ful worker she proved to be.
All religious defections since the
days of Christ on earth have been
along the lines of (1) Ecclesiasticism ;
(2), Secterianism; (3), Bigotry, and
(4), Ritualism. His was true liber
ality. Since Jesus knew the Samari
tan woman better than she knew her
self, he broke all traditions. Prejudice
fled before his approaching step.
Another remarkable story shows us
how a foreigner seek3 Christ and how
God in his wisdom found a way to
convert Peter, cured him of prejudice
and brought joy to Cornelius house.
It also proves that there is a long
ing for God in the soul of man, that
God alone can satisfy. Who can know
how many earnest seeking souls there
are in the heathen world, in search
cf life and the way to happiness. E.
Stanley Jcnes has given us glimpses
into the heart of the Hindu races.
The matchless address of Paul be
fore the council of the Areopagus
(sitting to judge the orthodoxy of
foreign teachers), reveals that Jesus
Christ i3 the Son cf God, whom he
had raised from the dead; and thai:
all men have the strain of one blood
in them, hence the brotherhood of
nis'i is established, and the father
hood of God follows Any one reading
that address must come to the con
clusion that there is no such a term
as "foreigner."
Men are only divided into two
classes. They are saints and sinners,
caved and unsaved, believers and un
believers. Through Jesus Christ,
those that believe. "are made one, be
cause he broke down the middle wall
of partition between us. (Eph. 2:14).
"There is neither Jew ncr Greek,
neither bond nor free, there is neith
er male nor female, for yea all are one
in Christ Jesus." (Gal. 3:28.)
May we listen to John, when he
relates what he saw: "A great multi
tude, which no man could number, cf
all nations and kindred, and people
and tongues, stood before the throne
. . . and cried . . . salvation to our
God . . and to the Lamb." (Rev.
7:9, 10). All using one language in
heaven .

in Nebraska City, was up to visit the
mother last Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Davis and Mrs.
J. D. Pitman were enjoying a day on
last Sunday at Union, where they
were at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D.
Ray Frans and where also Dr. and
Mrs. G. H. Gilmore and their son,
John, were gathered to celebrate the
passing of the eighteenth birthday

Mrs. Harriett Royal, , of Platts

A dreamer wished his ship

Ladened with treasures from

Before it reached his empty

The warehouse may be empty

To store the cargo most out of

And inspect the labels for con

Are wo receiving from a for

Assignments of jealousy, greed,
hatred or such a sort.
Instead of the pure refined gold,
As peace, joy, tolerance and
love untold?
With a cargo of inspiration and
a little common sense,
Will bring to our shores an
anchor of defense,
To blot our fears not many
days hence.
Under the microscope of spirit
ual vision.
Clears the clouds of darkness
from our sight.
And guides us into the harbor
of decision,
That in His mandate said:
Give us more light."
A cargo may be coming from
the port of Versailes,
To dump on our shores a debt
that entails.
The horrors of war, Jealousy,
misery, and the shambles

Let America; play fair and stay
