RESULT OF J
Big 5
FOOTBALL GAMES
l " \
a
From a football standpoint this
| column sings its swan song for s
i the 1940 season. It has been our I
| custom to quote results here and 11
not offer our ideas as to who |
! would win what or how. Reflect-1 ?
I ing upon the pigskin parade dur- {J
j ing the season which closed Sat-; c
i urday for all regular college ! r
games, it has been unpredictable. 15
1 in many of the season's most j 8
outstanding games the underdog!
team has come through for somej c
very upsetting upsets. The game, j e
as a whole, remains just as po- (t
pular as ever, though some of i f
the most publicized games drew I
disappointing crowds. But as so f
many fans, whose favorite team
lost to its arch rival, said, "just *
wait 'till next year." s
Anyway all the Big 5 teams t
closed their respective seasons t
with wins except State, which 3
playd its final game last week. J t

I, 1940. Text: Luke 10: 25-37).
A lawyer once asked Jesus the
cay to eternal life. The Master
eplied with another question:
'What is written in the law;
tow readest thou?" (Luke 10:26).
rhe lawyer, who had evidently
sked the question with a pur>ose
of entangling Jesus, gave
he two great commandments:
upreme love to God and broherly
love to men. When Jesus
old him that he had answered
ight, the lawyer, being anxious
n justify himself, said: "And
vho is my neighbor?" (Luke 10:
19). Jesus replied by relating the
itory of the good Samaritan, one
>f the most illuminating of all
he parables of our Lord.

OT. SOUTHPORT, N. C.
went from Jerusalem to Jericho, i
a twenty-mile journey over a "
winding-, mountainous road, in- k
festeil by robbers. Thieves beset
the man, stripped him of his
raiment and robbed him of his
possessions, leaving him beaten
and half dead. The first man to
[pass by was a priest?a Jewish T
| preacher?and certainly he should
have been interested in any sufferer,
especially one of his own
nation. But he passed by on the
other side. Next there passed a
Levite who showed some concern
j for the man but who, also pas- "
sed on his way after looking at
his suffering brother. Then came
a Smaritan and. notwithstanding ^
his assaurance that the wounded
man would have regarded him as
a dog, he ministered to him in
his suffering, binding up his
wounds and carrying him, on his
own beast, to a lodging house f<
where he could be cared for. v
Having finished the story o
Jesus asked the lawyer who had p
been neighbor to the man who c
had fallen among thieves. He an- c
swered. "He that showed mercy," li
and must have been dumfounded e:
by what Jesus next said to him: lj
"Go, and do thou likewise" (Luke d
10: 37). Of all human beings, p
Christians should love their fel- b
low men and radiate a neighbor- h
ly spirit. The Christian's love
will seek, not for limitations, d
but for opportunities to help s
those in need. C
There are those who try to 1;
evade the command, "Go, and do ci
thou likewise", because they h
think their own safety and com- b
fort should come first, others G
place their private affairs first, a
leaving no time to help the help- b
less; still others contend that g
' 1 ? ? * IliUxlH 1, ,'rt tt, Q,''p 1J
mey are iwi men wiwuivi ? ?
keepers". They probably do not n
personally know the sufferers and ri
think their relief no concern of h
theirs. But the real reason?that p
they do not love their neighbors a
?is not included in these ex- t
cuses.
The good Samaritan has provided
for us a demonstration of j
"love in action", manifesting all
the qualities of the ideal neighbor
Four of these qualities are plainly
discernible: First, he had genuine
love which shone out in his
concern for the victim of the
robbers; second, he rendered personal
service to his brother in
J need; third, his service was
thorough. He did not leave him j
by the roadside; he did not stop
at moving him to a place where
recovery was possible; he was
thoughtful to provide for the future
need of the traveler.
The question of supreme lm|
port to us is not, "who is my
neighbor?" but "Whose neighbor
jam I"? One does not have to
travel far. to find those who have
; been buffeted by life's circumstances,
and left hopeless and In
despair. You and I can be neigh\
bors to the sick, the sorrowing, j
the unemployed, the underpriv|
ileged, the perplexed and despairing,
young and old. May God help
men and women everywhere to
put into practice the principles of
Jfesus?to live and love the Jesus
way?then human conditions in
all our world will approach the
ideal of which poets have dreamed
and philosophers have speculated
through the ages.
