M
, AS
OUR RELATED LIFE
"June, the gens or clan, fixes our
thoughts on family life in the broad- j
1 est sense of the words ? whether it is ,
our own race or the church, which is
called the 'family for which our Lord
Jesus Christ was contented to be be
trayed."
The terms of this /elated life are,
for us, found in OUR DUTY TO
WARDS OUR NEIGHBORS. And
who is my neighbor? To ask the
question is a condemnation. True
neighborliqfess is not common to
know where its boundaries run; it
cares as little for boundaries a? sun
and rain care for the contour lines
upon our maps. It seeks not for lim
its, but for opportunities. Who is my
neighbor? Nearness does not make
neighborliness. People may live with
| no intervening -wall, and yet not be
j neighbors. Only the eyes and spirit
'of the Samaritan make neighborli
|ness.
Who is my neighbor? 1 do not i;
know. JeSbs retorts: But life will!
reveal him to you. He is not of one I,
class or nation. He is anybody in ;
need. You will find him as you h
journey. You will come upon him by j
chance. He is not of this or that re- 1
ligious allegiance. He is not a sin- 1
ner or a saint. He is not brutish or '
refined. He is a certain man dr wo- .
man, any man or woman, needy at j
your roadside. This, Jesus replies, |l
not in a definition, but an instance. I
He gave us Truth embodied in a Tale.
Read the Tale of The Good Samari- .
tan and you will know. ___ j]
The Spirit of the Samaritan does!
not come by chance. It is the bes- j
towment of God, His best gift to us.
Though neighborliness may be sud- 1
denly proved (being waked by crises J
on a journey) it is not suddenly I,
grown. Heroism in the crucial test I
has its source in that habitual read- 1?
iness .to the heroic, that courageous '?
bent of the soul which is induced by J
minor braveries day after day. Only J
so does neighborliness become in- *
stinctive. Such a quality, and set of J
character is eternal life, the God *
eriven heritage has been realized.
Nor is the Samaritan Spirit to be r
:onceived merely as humaneness, or 1
?s a substitute for religion. In truth e
religion in its outworking is neigh- 1
borlinesa, and neighborliness in its
final impercations is religion. A re
ligion which passes by on the other
side is a mummery, not a faith.
What part then are we playing In
family life, in human life, in church
life? We cannot stand aff" isolated
units, receiving from it without con
tributing towards it; we cannot ?
that is the best of it ? contribute, to
wards it without receiving from it.
It is a perpetual round of give and
get ? of getting that we may give, of
giving that we may get yet more to
five. , ?
May God grant that we may all
apply the test of /action, and obey
heartily and always the words of our
Lord, Go and do thou likewise."
A PRAYER
Dear Lord Jesus, who in Thy own
serson didst exemplify The Spirit of
rhe Samaritan, God's best gift to us,
rhy children, bestow upon us that
ipirit of neighborliness, but let us
lever forget that neighborliness de
nands service. Teach us that Chris
-ianity is not only unselfish but it is
ictive, a life as well as a belief, and
hat its first quality derived from
Jod Himself is Love and Love can
lot be confined, in tensity and in
nethod of expression, it cannot be
egulated by personal preferences so
iften faulty.
We thank Thee for the words of
one of Thy devoted servants who de
fined Love as "the desire to give and
the desire to bless. Let us never for
get that sincere desire looks for a
,way to express itself and never fails
to find some need. Enable us to see
that not only is indifference contrary
to the Christian spirit ? 'it is an im
possibility, hence the blessedness of
Thy example, dear Christ, "who went
about doing good."'
I As we cannot separate in thought
and worship Thee from Thy cross,
we cannot separate Thee from works
of mercy. We are limited, we know
in time and space, but we are unlim
ited in desire, in intercession, in op
portunity, and the joy of it is, blessed
be Thy Holy Name, that any help
given to anyone in- Thy name,
touches the whole of humanity.
"As he journeyed," that is all we
are told of the Good Samaritan, but j
can we not read between the lines,
and recognize the personal sacrifice. 1
The law of service, is found in sacri
fice. Help us to say with David, "I j
will not offer to the Lord that which I
doth cost me nothing. Blessed be
God, the joy of service is manifold,
but its dearest value, often unthought
of, is in the denial of self, or rather
in the giving of self. "Virtue has
gohe out of me," was Thy Iloly dec- ?,
laration, dear Saviour.
Give us grace, dear Lord, to ask, j
what has our Christianity cost us?
Scorn, perhaps, and misunderstand
ing, but yet more is demanded, even
involuntary sacrifice. Forgetfulness
of our own ease, weariness because
we have sought to carry the burdens
of another! Love so intense that it
hurts, sympathy that called for
tears; a high spirit which from the
need leaped to demand a general
remedy for the need ? those rive
beauty to the service because soc.e of
self has made the gift sacred.
May we never fail to ask, ' what is
the real value of our Faith? Where
does our Master find the goodness
and strength of our belief in Him?
Lord, what have we given up for
Thee that others may be comforted?
Dear Master, help me to live and
to serve, for truly to live is to serve.
Let me know all men everywhere as
my neighbors, and so to serve where
Thou hast placed me that my service
may be a part of that great world
wide and age-long service in which
Thou ait the Leader. Amen.
