GOD'S CONCERN BOR SINNERS
r (Luke 15:1-32)
Golden Text: The Son of man
is come to seek and to save that
which was lost.—Luke 19:10.
The opinion continues the same
by those who are SELF-righteous
toward those who are without
“pedigree.” Our Lord could not
penetrate the hardened walls of
the hearts of those who were so
good. They had no real need for
l|im except for selfish gain. He
would help only where there was
an open door.
Surely there must be a distinct
difference in those who are God
fearing people and those who live
on the lower level of life. But to
manifest such an attitude toward
sinners as did the religious folks
certainly cut across the ways of
Christ. He came to help those in
reed. Who has real need? The
drunkard, the harlot, the gambler,
the outcast—all have real needs
that can be met in Christ. But so
cjb others who perhaps do not
indulge in commonly disapproved
conduct.
;Who can meet the needs of the
out-cast? Tho^e who no longer live
to .and for self but let Christ live
through them. It is He that is able
but In our day redeemed -human
brings are the vessels He chooses
tp use.
Of course, it is most discourag
ing to be confronted with the ir
rational drunk. As a matter of fact,
little real good can be accomplish
ed while he is in such a state
because he will promise to do al
most everything one would ask
him not realizing the significance
of the promise. And so it is when
ode is in the midst of any such
practices. But the general attitude
which the professing Christian has
toward the person—not the prac
tice—goes far in opening or clos
ing doors of opportunity.
It goes without saying that the
Christian does not have to engage
in sinful practices in order to
establish a working relationship
with such people, but there must
be a sympathetic understanding to
ward the persons involved. That,
I suppose, is the primary reason
why so little is done by people
who profess His name along the
line of work which He perennially
did. Oh, for something like a
Christ-given love for people!
A blinding spot for us nowadays
is statistics if we are not very care
ful. How easy to accept the good
record of 75 per cent or 90 per
cent success in any given matter.
But we find that Christ was con
cerned over the remaining ONE
just as much as any or all of these
safely in His care. Are you satis
fied with the relationship which
exists between those of yopr ac
quaintance and the Lord? Then
what may I ask are you doing to
change it?
“The Son of man is come to seek
and save that which was lost’’
(Luke 19-10). You are followers of
Him. Are you going about seeking
to save the least? His concern
manifested itself in works. Do you
have works by which to prove your
faith?
His conduct brought upon Him
the wrath of, those round about
Him of some social standing. I am
sure the active seeking of the
least would bring upon many
Church members today the un
bridled tongue’s condemnation of
fellow members. “Soul-winning” is
taken by many to be a foolish use
of time and a practice for the oth
er person. But compassion such as
the Master possessed will move
all of us who profess to follow
Him. Christ was concerned about
the weaker ones. Christ was con
cerned about helping.
Again, what is your attitude to
ward those who have committeed
overt acts that are sinful? There
was the one from a particular
community who served a sentence
in prisdn. Upon returning to the
community he went with his fam
ily to a local church. He took a
place on a pew with several lead
ing members. In minutes a large
area oT seats had been vacated
when the man was recognized.
That day the man committed sui
cide leaving a note telling the
story of having been rejected—
especially by those who professed
to possess the spirit of the Master.
Many people are in special need
cf help. Let us make our prayers
such that God may use us in meet
ing the needs of others. Many are
lost. May we cast a light upon the
way.

Economic
Highlights
There is “not a change” of anoth
er depression of the 1929 model—
but, at the same time, “recessions
are probably' inevitable.”
That is the gist of an interview
published in U. S. News & World
Report with Murray Shields, a lead
ing economist who has held vari
ous top positions in and out of the
government and now heads a firm
which serves as •'economic consul
tants to a number of leading busi
ness corporations.
In Mr. Shields’ view, our bank
ing and financial structure gener
ally is far stronger than it used to
be. At the same time, he sees cer
tain dangers in the picture. Depres
sions, he says, are man-made and
could be prevented. But three
things need to be done: One, make
money pretty tight when an infla
tionary boom threatens; two, keep
taxes at levels .which will create
budgetary surpluses when times
are booming along and, three, de
velop “a sheif of public works” to
use if business declines. And he
has something interesting to say
about how the human being, indi
vidually and collectively, tends to
run to extremes: “He overspends,
overborrows and overinvests when
times are easy, and he underspends,
underborrows and underinvests
when times are hard.”
Mr. Shields makes another point
of a striking nature. To his mind,
“no depression we have ever had
has even been like any of its pre
decessors. Each -one is different.
That’s why we get our guard down.”
He goes into considerable technical
details as to the various safe-guards,
governmental and otherwise, that
have been established in an effort
to prevent major depressions.
These he regards as good and nqp
essary for the most part. But he
adds: “The basic cause of my ap
prehension is that acceptance of
the idea that we are never going
to have another depression may
lead us to premit the basic
strengths now present in our fi
nancial situation to be impaired.”
In other words, this is the time
when our economic structure
should be improved in every way
possible. To quote Mr. Shields once
more: “I’d like to see every busi
ness and financial institution in the
world use this period of boom to
put some financial meat on its
bones, to build protective reserves
of financial strength for use in case
economic trends take a turn for
the worse.”
These are long-term considera
tions. There is a highly unusual
current problem which some of the
commentators and business spokes
men have been discussing. We are
producing goods and services at a
record rate—close to $400,000,000,
000 a year. Shortages are develop
ing even though factories are run
ning at utmost capacity. For ex
ample, some orders for such basic
materials as steel, copper and alum
inum cannot be filled. In addition,

EVERYTHING'S COLD
Coldwater, Mich.—On a recent
very cold day, a Coldwater theater
marquee advertised the following
double feature: “The Naked Dawn”
and “Lady Godiva.” j
there are manpower shortages in
some of the technical fields. £j
This . means that, before there
can be another major upsurge in
industrial activity, vast program#
of plant expansion must be com
pleted. And that means, in turnj
that enterprises and individual#
must invest billions of dollars to
accomplish the job.
As for the situation in general,
it is probable that the ideas ol
many were reflected by the Port
land Oregonian when jt said edi*
torially: "Who believes any morf
that there are no. more, frontier*
and that the American economy haS
reached a ‘mature’ and stagnant
era? The evidence is all aroundf
us, in the developments of thej
last decade, to disprove this view
which once so many economists;
held,” i
