CHRIST'S NEW CQMMANDMENT
' International Simdav School LcaAOa
. For June 29. 1952. , J
; Memory Selection: "A ; new com I
mandment I give unto you, that ye
love one another; even as I have loved
you, that ye also love one another."--John
13: 30. v . , .
Our lesson for tiif week is a fitting
climax to a study of -the Ten Com'!
mandments and the teachings of Jes- j
us ? concerning .them; The -'subject,
'IChrist's New Commandment," and its ,
j accompanying memory selection gives ,
us the necessary motivating power j
that should enable us to keep all of
God's Commandments that power is
."love." - . . .
ror centuries, ine tfews.noa ueen
taught that it was essential for them,
'.not only to love God but also to love
their neighbors. Yet, it was left
; to the founder of Christianity to jpiyei
to the world a proper example of the
meaning of this doctrine, which he did
both by the spoken word and the ex
ample of actions.
'Sad though it is, it is nevertheless
'' true, that not every church member
is a Christian. IA man or woman
practicing the principles of Jesus in
any given community will stand out
and be easily distinguished among
those who come in contact with him,
although they all may be enrolled
' on the membership list of some, church.
Christianity in rts application to life
has been defined as the "habit of love
in action." ' ,
Think of others and help them as
you go through life; this is the com
. mandment that Jesus gave in his
teaching. It is a message which many
need in this modern age,- when so
much emphasis- is f placed upon per
sonal comfort, ease and pleasure, and
so little concern is taken in the. hap
piness and welfare of others.
It is interesting to note that the
' helpfulness with which Jesus used
to illustrate his teaching here was
not in any big thing but in the sim
ple essentials of life, food; clothes,
health, companionship and rehabilita
tion. To practice these arts, any man
or woman is capable and able if guid
ed by the proper spirit. v.5" ,;
These duties we owe to our neigh
bors and some of us, like the ancient
scribe, might ask, "And who is my
neighbor?" IAs Jesus was teaching on
one occasion, a lawyer asked Mm what
was necessary to inherit eternal life,
' being. solicitous ai to Jh jrelfaxe-of
his immortal soul, just as most of us
s are. Jesus allowed his questioner to
: reply to hi own query and when he
repeated the familiar Jewish formula
about love, to God and his, neighbor,
Jesus placed his stamp of approval
thereon, saying, "This do and thou
shalt live." But the lawyer, wishing
to explain why he had-brought u f or
i discussion a matter which could be so
.' easily answered, inquired further and
. asked Jesus who his neighbor was.
The Parable of the Good Samaritan,
one of the most beautiful stories in all
literature, was the answer Jesus gave
. to the questioner. Then Jesus asked
the lawyer to say who had been neigh
bor to this Jew, plainly pointing oat
that there were no artificial bounds
fixed upon human brotherhood. ;
(While we are living in an age in
s which philanthropy ' has been very
: generous and which probably has or-
; ganized charity jupon a more scientific
, basis than ever before, we are prob
f ably running the risk of fulfilling all
our obligations to be neighborly, by
. proxy. Most of us contribute small
' amounts of cash to various social and
welfare organizations and then seek
' to ease our consciences Jto the burden
; which it would feel if we were to enter
- into the presence of human misery,
: sorrow and distress. - . -.
Some of us are restrained from
: little acts of kindness and helpfulness
. by a certain timidttyj; being afraid to
' trust the heart of humanity for its
proper response to a kindness render
ed. How much better the world would
J ''! f w eacn one or us wiea to snow to
T I I least one person, each day that
someooay eise was urcerestea in nis
life. It would not necessarily take
t I much time or money and would come
almost instinctively if we unreserved,
ly ampted the social teachings of
our Savior. -
A ' vei-sff of Margferttei WHWnon,
gives good thoughts on this subject:
ft never- etf my TWighbbrs tlhroat;
My neighbor's gold 1 never stole;
I nerer'spoiled hi house- and land:
Buti God have mercy on-my. soul 1

Strange hovr a landscape sets the imagi
nation ,tenwork. Right now, looking at this
scene, ! can imagine all sorts of things.
Winged steeds riding to heavy music . . ,
pioneers in the wilderness . . . castles on the
cliffs . . . boating at high speeds.
t Look at the magic that enables the lake to
mirror the rocky mountain peak and the
heavens! The vastness and stillness of the
scene sets my mind to wondering about time
and space and things I will never, under
stand. - But in standing here and wondering so,
I feel like I've been near God.
There is a place where I -can find Him
always in Church. Will you come with me ?
