"A 7 would wtfuV, men jhould do to .you, do .:.y , tin .to 1m likewise." rLuko 6:81. Lesson Texts' Luke 6:27-38 r With conditions in the world as ' they are today, with larger nations ' - marching -upon smaller nations and l" taking 1 from them whatever they want, we realize that the world is not living by what we call "The " - Golden Rule." The "ruQe" existent today seems to be "do what you can " unto others before they have a tpchance to do what they can to you,' for "take what you can from others before thev take what they can - from you." There are some people who say Tthe Golden Rule will not work in the i world. They don't know whether it will or not, because they have never tried it. The Golden Rule requires the putting of one's seflf in the oth er's place and then doing for that person what is believed will be best for him. The higher demand that is made for our best,-truest good, the less danger will there be of our do s ins; a thoughtless kind deed for. another that is not for highest good. Our lesson text gives us a quota tion from what is known as the Sermon on the Plain, very similar in Bentiment to the Sermon on the Mount, recorded by Matthew. While these may have been different ser mons it is just as probable that they represent two reports of the same address. However, it is probable r that Jesus very often repeated his i remarks in he course of his teach Ing, all of which was done by word of mouth. Luke gives us twenty-nine verses as against one hundred and eleven by Matthew, but scattered elsewhere throughout Luke's gospel are thirty- four verses, also, very similar to those given by Matthew. Luke's ac count begins with four beatitudes concerning the poor, hungry, sad and hated, and follows with four woes, to the rich, satisfied, glad and popular. In his teaching Jesus always held up the highest possible ideals for : mankind. No love can be greater V than love for one's enemies. No ! i deed of kindness can' exceed that' h done for one who hates. To under . stand fully the revolutionary char acter of this teaching it must be rep membered that the Old Testament . empha&j-ej hating one's enemies al- ' , though there are one or two Tselec- tions otherwise. In framing his doc trine Jesus was stating an ideal, and i not promulgating a regulation to be t literally observed. Loving one's enemies does not mean tolerating an injustice nor does the rule of gener osity require the abandonment of all DtXTERfjccvrata .... , GRUEN.

Coli fucius, the Chinese spiritual leader, framed a negative doctrine as fol lows, "dp not to others what yyu would not wish done to yourself." II the world would carefully consider and act upon the Golden Rule, much of its problems- would disappear. Putting ourselves in the place of the other man would make us more tol erant and more sympathetic. If one could only realize the position oi other men with whom lie came in contact and visualize himself in their places, he would be certain to be more considerate and generous. Jesus advised his followers to be as merciful as the Heavenly Father. Passing censurious judgment upon others he discouraged, although love and reason some tunes require us to condemn the acts of others, in all things he advised extreme honesty and straiarht-forwardness, urging the giving of good measure, piled up rather than scraped down flat. In these current days, let us re member the words of Jesus to all of his disciples, "Love your enemies and do good to them that hate you, bless them that curse you, pray for them that despiteMly use youv" Hard words you say! Yes, they are but they are commandments from Jesus himself. It is easy enough to love those who are agreeable and kind to us, but to love our enemies seems almost impossible, unless we are filled with the love of God. We can love' their souls but hate theii deeds of wickedness. We shouQd pray for them and do whatever we can for them. The Goldeti Rule is a rule of good will and positive action. To prac tice it, we must do more than not mistreat others, or take revenge upon those who have wronged us, or merely feel sorry for those whose lives are controlled by sin. We must do something about it, helping with friendliness, with justice, and, above all, by sharing with them the great love of God which prompts us to practice the Golden Rule. Who Knows? 1.
