Walter Houston, was appearing in a Broadway show a score of years ago. he made famous a song that has come to characterize this mel low monih in New York. It was "September Song" written by the late Kurt Weill whom I knew. Walter didn't have much voice but he had genius in his interpretation and delivery. So now across Man hattan in many a supper room may be heard the haunting notes of '.his song of September, giving poignant accompaniment to the harbingers of fall, the changing leaves, the fading grass and the legend of a Knickerbocker holi iay that held an ardent, long sought love. ?3? A local minister told the followi ng yarn last Sunday, considerably ivening up a rather somnolent au lience. It seems that a Methodist ay preacher went out to a small 'ural church to preach, and when he entered the church, saw near ,i,n a covered box with a slot in 'he top for contributions. So he iutifully Dut therein a dollar. \fter he had finished preaching he visiting minister was told by ?> deacon that the money usually ionated by the congregation for visiting clergy was in the box be side the door. It was emptied and out came only one dollar. So over come w-as the visitor by this "gen erosity." that he explained that he himself had put that dollar in the box. "Well, that's the way life is," consoled the deacon. "If ye had put more in. ye'd a got more out" The center of Manhattan Is an unusual section of urban America, unique in its character.

The rest of na AP tin. derneath tb a t ( aurface, he ta something Quite different- Every body likes sincere people, nobody wants to have much to do with the insincere. ? ? ? Getting Down to Cases Jesus, of course, demanded sin cerity. "Jesus would rather be de nied by a true man than confessed by a liar." He did not use the word "sincere" or "sincerity," but (as was his habit) ha came down to cases. He first shows that a gen erous giver, and a praying man. may be Insincere. When is gener osity sincere? When is a man all -the-way generous and when is he only top-layer generous? Jesus suggests that it isn't what we give, but why we. give, that points up a test for slnArity. It is very doubt ful whether Jesus -neant to say thai any one ever hired a trump eter to toot for him when he dropped some money into the col lection plate or wrote a check for the Red Cross. What he means to say is that when a man gives with the hope that his gift will attract attention and produce applause, he is not really generous. He doesn't have the recipient's interests at heart; he is thinking only. "How well people will think of Mel "Or again, that odd saying. "Do not let your left ? hand know what your right hand is doing" suggests that sometimes you are generous in order to please your favorite audi ence: You. You are generous in order to feel self-satisfied, your right hand (so to speak) brags about your left. The sincerely gen erous person is the only truly gen erous one; and the only sincerely generous person is the one who wants to* give, not to be compli mented. even by himself. ? ? ? What Is Sincere Prayer? Another concrete case that Jesus takes up is prayer. There is a story that once a minister was told after service: "Doctor, that was the most eloquent prayer ever deliv ered to a Boston audience." Jesus would say that a prayer delivered to an audience?Boston, Bombay or Barber Junction, no matter where?isn't a prayer, lt'a Just a way of allowing off. A certain pro fessor of English used to quote famous authors in his public pray ers: "As Shakespeare has said. O Lord . . . Thou rememberest what the poet Browning hath said . . ." Now there's no use quoting poetry to the Lord; that .a suited to a speech, not to a prayer. Of course Jesus did not mean that we are never to pray in the presence of others. He himself prayed in pub lic on various occasions. Leading others in prayer Is a rare gift and should be cultivated. But while prayer, sincere prayer, can be with others and tor others, it should never be te others. Some preach ers "beat the congregation over their heads with a prayer" as the saytng is. Some deacons have been known to put long and dull prayer meeting talks into the form of a prayer. One elder well-versed in Scripture used to go through the whole story of the Bible, in out line, every time he was called on tor a prayer. ? ? ? Sincerity ia Devotion Jesus points out where sincerity Is most Important of all: |n our de votion to God. We cannot serve God and Mammon. God does not want part-time devotion. By serv ing God, Jesus means living by Ood's side, under God's orders. Serving Mammon means more than simply serving money?most Mammon-worshippers would deny that they "serve" money. It means living your life not as God would have you but in order to "get ahead." to make money, to stand well with people who have money. Serving God means living as Jesus lived, for others: serving Mammon means trying to be served by as many persona as possible Success, in Mammon's terms, la measured In terms of how many people work for you; success In God's terms, is meas ured in terms of how much you have helped others. Sincere devo tion to God must be devotion aV life through.
