Business Men's Association.) My piece awhile back on trying to find a definition for free en terprise stirred up quite a rumpus. The San Francisco News ran it as a feature article after "sending one of its reporters out to get i definition. He didn't get one. al though he spent all day trying. The News asked its readers to comment and submit their i'efini- tions, and had to run four follovv , up articles in order to quote i cross section of the replies recei ved. Malcolm W. Bingay, columnist for the Detroit Press and other Knight papers, undertook to both slap me down and take me apart. I couldn't take that so I slapped right back, in part, as follows: "My attention has been called to :-your December 31 column in the , Detroit Free Press in which I told about trying to find a definition of 'free enterprise.' Among other things, you say there isn't and never has been any such thing. - You are wrong on this dead j wrong. There very definitely is such a thing as free enterprise "Free enterprise is both the life blood and backbone of our eco nomy, has been for more than 150 years and it will be a sorry day for this country and for the whole world if free enterprise ever dis ; appears from the American scene. .

"Detroit is what it is today be cause Henry Ford was free to try again arid again to make a go of his enterprise. Under any other way of life he might not have had a chance to make another attempt after he had failed, and the de velopment of the automobile indus try might therefore have been set back nobody, knows how many years. "About 15 years ago, one of the trustees of our Association bought a defunct truck line for something less than $5,000. Ten years later, without any additional capital hav ing been invested in the business, he refused an offer of $500,000 in cash from one of his larger con petitors. "Building up this business too'c 'initiative, courage, vision and per severance,' none or all of which would have been worth much if he had not been free to engage in any enterprise of his choice. He didn't know anything about the trucking business. He had a little money and a burning desire to go into business for himself, and he thought that the sheriff's sale of the truck line might be the oppor tunity he was looking iur, so he took a chance on it. Had he failed, he still would have been free to accumulate another stake and try again in the same or some other en terprise. That, Mr. Bingay, is free enterprise."

Maneigo and wife, Ger- ,1 f t j crri : 'A Ljl.H;KaiHllll.LrMB SCHIPTURE: Mark S. 1-3:6. DEVOTIONAL READING.' Luke II : n-4. , i Inevitable Cril - WI Lesson for February 13, I MO NCE UPON a time, so the oli a chu ' V. story goes, thert was meleon, a lizard that can. ch color to match whatever on. They put him ge it; tand- ' on a black cloth and be turned black; on a red ta blecloth -and he turned red; on a green billiard -table and he turned green. Then some mean person set him down on a Christmas necktie and the poor little thing exploded- This is a p:i ruble iif the person who tries to please e erybody. It can't' bt done and it ought not to be trted "Woe unto ycu," said Jesus, "when all men speak well of you. Jesus Christ himself did not please every one Not even a per fect personality can be 100 per cent popular. Not that Jesus enjoyed rubbing people the wrong way.J There was nothing perverse about him. He was deeply, sincerely friendly, and to lose any friendships must have been more painful for him than for us who are so selfish. Nevertheless he did make enemies, he had his critics; and his followers may expect no better. Misunderstanding Motives ONE POINT on which Jesus met terrific opposition was his at titude toward the Sabbath. Repeat edly he or his disciples would do things on the Sabbath which (as Jews then understood the law) were quite wrong. It was just that sort of thing that Jesus ran into, more than once. His enemies misundeiv stood, or at least misrepresent ed, his motives. They claimed that he was "blas phemous," that is, that he was delib erately making light of God's law. The truth was that he was acting by God's highest law the law of love. Helping people in need was more important than keeping the letter of the Sabbath law. Jesus' example may help us here. If our best motives are misunderstood, we have a right' to explain ourselves, as Jesus did; but w6 are not oblig ed to change our ways to please those who persist in misunderstand ing us. Stepping Out of Bounds WHEN Jesus healed the man with the palsy, it was not the cure his critics found fault with, it was his first saying "Your sins are for given." "Who can forgive sins but 'God alone?" they said. In short, ;the Pharisees thought some of them perhaps sincerely that Jesus was stepping out of bounds, pre tending to do something that he'had no right to attempt and no power .to accomplish. Now Jesus did have both- the right and the power to say what ; he said to that sick and sinful man. And he made no apolo- ' gies for going beyond tbe llmha , hig critics set for him; ' So we too may sometimes be ac cused, of "biting off too much," of going beyond our powers or capac ities. Our critics may be right, you kfiow, though Jesus' critics never were. But how often' they are wrong! If Lincoln bad listened to his critics he never would have left his backwoods law office; they did not think him fit to be president. If the Wright boys had listened to their neighbors, they never would have flown an airplane, for who would have thought a couple of bi cycle mechanics could do what so many scientists said was impossi ble? Are you sure you are right? j Then go ahead, In God's name! The Company Ton Keen ' JESUtf' friends got him Into trou ble, as Mark shows us. For one tning, some were the "wron ort" like Matthew the tax-collector. Tiijtn nis menas naa an unconventional Kino oi religion, they actually seemed happy about H instead of gloomy -like some of John's disci- pies And jo make, matters worse, his friends "broke" the Sabbath laws, much as Jesus did. All In ell, Jesus' critics complained that Jsus' friends were a bad lot. and they Juflged him ' by.' the ? company he kept, v But Jesus knew, his friends better, than his enemies did.' He never gave op or loosened ' '': a lnle friendship an Ms crH- lea'- accoont. - Some of hJb : friends gave him np, but lp nev er gave tbera up.
