A Lesson for the Week '
< l
Drum Majors vs. Generals
An Issue in Public Life <
» i
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
“Don’t kid yourself!" to current slang. It expresses what a large
part of the world has been doing since the Great War. Some day, when
we look back upon the contemporary scene objectively, we shall marvel
at this wholesale self-deception. Men and women have made themselves
believe that what to not true to true. They have reversed many of the
tested standards of life. They have flouted the sure Integrities of civili
zation as “old fashioned,” and have*
flippantly disregarded the Bible's
plain teachings. They have for
saken the solemn obligations of per
sonality for an
incredible light
mindedness.
Only recently
a tolerant busi
nessman said
me, ‘My six
dren are all
grown, yet they
fight every
morning for
first chance at
the ‘funnies' In
the newspaper,
and never look
at the f r o n
page." I have
seen college W-T- Eu,,•
graduates open their papers at the
comic strip, and then turn to the
sporting page and the motion-pic
ture columns. This infantile prac
tice is the habit of multitudes.
Of course, it is only a symptom of
the way in which the world is kid
ding itself. It thinks that “wise
cracks” are wisdom; that a mad
rush after artificial pleasure is hap
piness, and that cosmetics and
clothes are a passport to popularity.
Along with these lesser blunders has
gone a startling disregard of the old
sanctities of personal chastity, of the
inviolability of the home, of tem
perance, thrift, industry and the
other solid and intelligent elements
which make for sound character.
There are those who believe that
even the opening horrors of an
other war will bring these frivolous
minded to their senses; and to a
realization that “Life is real, life is
earnest.” We hope so. Already
there is reported an increased at
tendance upon church services. Con
fronted by catastrophe, men and
women turn instinctively to the old,
tested sources of strengtfi. Hitherto
heedless parents will be sending
their children to Sunday school.
Adult Bible classes will grow in at
tendance, as an opportunity to study
the times in the light of the Bi
ble
Opportunely, with a widespread
dissemination which passes the
knowledge and belief of most per
sons, the theme for the present
course of six months' study by mil
lions is the life of Christ. It opens,
in these early weeks of a war that
threatens to be protracted into
years, with a presentation of the
sermon on the mount, the platform
for the kingdom of God which Jesus
laid down. Here are sure stand
ards by which to test our today;
and a leader who leads ever into
nobler life.
Broad Gauge Religion.
Religion by rote was the vogue in
Christ’s day. The Old Testament
laws had been reduced to an in
tricate and extended catalogue of
proscriptions and prescriptions. We
have modem analogies of this:
earnest souls whose faith holds fore
most a long string of "don’ts" - *s
for example, the group calling them
selves “the tieless,” whose sign is
that they do not wear neckties! How
the angels must laugh at mortal
littleness! Great denominations once
listed "doubtful amusements.” In
the face of this, most of us know
spiritually-minded saints of God
who dance and play cards and at
tend the theater and smoke and
even drink.
Instead of petty prohibitions and
inessential practices, Jesus pre
icribed purpose. He cared less for
ritual than for righteousness—a ;
‘ighteousness far transcending the
formalism of the Pharisees. His aim
gas the Inner character of man.
The letter kffieth, but the spirit
tiveth life.” He stood for the real
lense and essential quality of the
Did Testament law; but He re
vitalized it with a new dynamic.
His call was for a fresh, living
loyalty and spirit of love.
From one standpoint, the Sermon
on the Mount makes terrible read
ing. For Jesus not only pictures the
open way to the perfect life, but He
also portrays the doom of the deniers
and the impenitent. No honest
reading of these sublime passages
gives warrant for the nebulous
conception of Jesus as a spineless,
amoral teacher of sweetness ^and
universal goodness. His gospel is
that of the narrow way and the
strait gate, with a fearless pres
entation of the broad way which
leads to destruction. To the wicked
and to the selfish formalist, our
lesson declared, “Ye shall in no
wise enter into the kingdom of
heaven.” The door to life, here and
hereafter, is shut to those who will
not accept the law of the kingdom.
Stern teachings these, but they con
front every man.
Dram Majors and Generals.
Ours is a day of mass-minded
ness and crowd thinking. “All we
like sheep”—silly, witless, flock-fol
lowing sheep—"have gone astray.”
As one surveys the pulpit of the
time he perceives that one of our
deeper tragedies is that the shep
herds have become sheep. Most pub
lic officials have yielded to the
trend to follow the crowd, rather
than to lead it. The difference be
tween a politician and a genuine
statesman is the difference between
a drum major and a general: one
merely marches ostentatiously at
the head of the parade, whereas the
other directs the course and the
action. Jesus, that unique Leader
of men, aimed His words toward
individual initiative.
In a recent notable book, “World
Order,” by the philosopher-histo
rian, Lionel Curtis, there is a brave,
clear facing of conditions with this
striking conclusion, which seems an
echo of old-fashioned Sunday
School teachings:
“My faith is that as men obey
the commands of Christ to create
a system of society ordered in ac
cordance with the laws of God.
that system will bring into being
men in His likeness. Others will
grow to the stature of Christ, till
a time will come when such are
the rule and not the exception.”
In other words, this eminent
scholar and man of affairs believes
that as the teachings of Jesus are
accepted by mankind, one by one,
the entire world order will change.
Every man, every woman, every
boy, every girl, who yields his life
to the Law of God helps create a
force which will ultimately elimi
nate the sort of thing we are now
witnessing in Europe.
