4 1 P 1 SUNDAY SCHOOL LECSCN World's Hope Lies in Its Patriots' Faith BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. ; democratic countries as the United . . , ! States, Cunada, and Great Britain I book, ''Science and Health with ! Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, "In Science, man's immortality depends upon that of G'-ri. good, and fellows as' a rccofssry consequence of the im mortality of good'' (p, 81). M do not stick and why periods rf pi-eat moral awakening and re ligious revival are so often fol lowed by periods of relapse is that reforming zeal is not shared by all and does not seriously affect every phase of life. Under the influence of the re form wave, those who may not believe in the method or purposes of the reform become subdued and silent. But their attitudes or convictions are not changed. Their opposition is latent, awaiting an opportunity to find expression, and perhaps to effect a counter reform, or revolt. The influence of Judaism upon the moral, social and religious life of the world has been incalculably great, in itself and as the morai and spiritual background of Chris tianity. But it is interesting to speculate upon how much even greater that influence would have been had the entire history of Israel always been upon the high plane of Israel's greatest saints, teachers and prophets instead of that history being one of moral rise and relapse. ITHE storv is that of many of the neonle turning to idolatry and the anti-social ways and practices denounced bv the prophet Amos and in that terriole indictment of "woes" pronounced by Jesus, as recorded in Matthew 23. ; In the same way, one may speculate upon what might be the uence tnd power ..of such in the crh-es that confront the world today, if every individual felt, lived and acted in full ac cordance with the professed spirit and the actual declarations cf democracy, as these are expressed and acted upon by the finest and best citizens. It would be a pretense to say that these democracies are strong and fully maintained in this sense". On the contrary, we know that they are weak, in spite of all the strength that they do possess. Be cause in many ways they fail to achieve the completeness of their own ideals in establishing for all, without distinction, the right to life, liberty end the pursuit of happiness. What might our strength be if we attained a democratic life, above and free from all racial and religious prejudice, in -which the vestiges of caste and special privi lege that still remain were swept away? ' To ask this question is not to disparage the progress the democ racies have made or to express any spirit of pessimism. Only the goals, and the God-givon call to greatness, lor us as for ancient Israel, are so much more than we have attained or achieved. It is because so many in that ancient day were Israelites with out guile, fired with a pure pas sion for Zion, that their influence was so great. And the hope of a needy world is still in its patriots of luith and vision. Our Churche s FIRST CHRISTIAN Tew Sherman K. Hanson, Tastor Eightn Street and Avenue "C Sunday.
