A Lesson for the Week
»
Old Persian Folk Tale
Bears Christian Message
\
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
In Persia, I once heard a tale from a missionary friend, who was a
storehouse of Oriental lore, which expresses the genius of the present
Lesson.
A man died, and presented himself at the Celestial gates. Gabriel
met him with the statement that he could be admitted only if he brought
vith him the most precious thing on earth.
Returning to mortal life, the man pondered long oh values, and
cieciaea tnat a priceless pearl, repre
senting the greatest of riches, would
meet the conditions. But Gabriel
disdained it, reminding the suppliant
for entrance that
such jewels were
but building
stones in the
Celestral C ity.
the streets of
which were
paved with gold
So, plainly
wealth was not
,he admission fee
to bliss.
Back on earth
the man again
pondered long,
and concluded
that power was
the most pre- w T- Ellis
cious thing. So he sought widely
until he had found the sword oi
Alexander the Great. With this
symbol, he again approached the
;ates; only to be told that the
Almighty laughed at the puny power
of man.
"Wisdom must be the treasure,’
mused the man; and he searched the
earth until he had found the Lost
Books of Solomon. With these ir
hand, he again presented himsell
before Gabriel; only to be told thai
the wisdom of man is foolishness
wdth God.
Four times rebuffed, the discour
aged mortal ranged the earth ir
vain, seeking some greater treasure
At last he gave up, and decided tc
report his failure to the Angel.
On his w^ay to the Celestial gates
he saw a sick man by the roadside
emaciated and covered witn sores
Deeply moved, he tarried to ministei
to the unifortunate, and still weep
ing over the poor man’s plight, hi
presented himself again to Gabriel
Before he could tell his tale ol
failure, Gabriel rushed to him, cry
ing, “You have found it, the mos
precious thing in the world!”
Bewildered, the man looked at hii
empty hands; but the Angel touched
his cheek, upon which still glistenec
a tear, saying, “The tear of com
passion! The most precious thins
on earth! Enter into Paradise.”
One word above all others char
acterizes Christ—compassion. Agaii
and again "He was moved witl
compassion.” He shed tears of com
passion over the capital of his na
tion. His whole public ministr;
was spent largely in works of com
passion. His cross is the supreiw
symbol of compassion. So often wa
His work that of healing, that H
has been called a medical practi
tioner. The cure of Peter's mother
in-law was but a typical instance.
Wherever Jesus went, He fount
human need. The missionary phy
sicians who have followed in Hi
footsteps have been real representa
tives of Him. Only one who know
his Orient can fully appreciate hov
great is the need for medical min
istration. The throngs of sufferers
whom I have seen waiting at doc
tors’ doors all over the East, an
reminders of the crowds who sough
healing at Christ’s hands.
The Call of China.
In this our day, with incredibl;
tragic appeals to our compassioi
coming from China and Palestin
and Poland and Spain, we wonde
if Christ in Heaven does not sorrot
in sympathy with man’s suffering
Surely, every Christian should sem
v
some sacrificial offering "In Hi;
Name,” to these whom their Mastei
pities. All the great denominations
have united in a Church Commit
tee for China Relief, with offices ai
105 East Twenty-second street, Nev
York City. They seek a millior
dollars, that they may save at leasi
a hundred thousand lives betweer
now and June. A dollar keeps i
child alive for four weeks.
More persons — many million!
more—have been healed by the ex
tensions of the Master’s spirit thar
He ever cured by His personal touch
We commonly overlook the fact tha
the great hospitals which dot civili
zation are but expressions of thi
spirit of the healing Christ. A fev
days ago I had luncheon in thi
physicians' dining room on the 28tt
floor of the magnificent New Yorl
Hospital, a building with beds for s
thousand patients, and the lates
conveniences and comforts for thi
sick and for the staff. No Orienta
; monarch dwells in a more imposing
palace than this house of healing
erected and maintained by the gift
of men and women who partake o
Christ’s spirit of compassion. Thi
hospital is a skyscraper sermon.
| Jesus had nothing, yet He gavi
I everything. Vitality poured fron
Him. as he shared His innermost
| resources of life with the needy
! He was the comrade of all the pool
who today minister to their needj
| j neighbors with what they have
Homeless, Jesus was the refuge o:
seekers. Hungry, He was the give]
! of the multiplied loaves. His re
j treats, for communion with thi
i Father, were broken into by thi
. | heedless crowds, yet He was nevet
! impatient with them. His compas
| sion stood all tests.
When Storms Arise.
There seems a contrast, though i
is only seeming, between the per
. sonal, self-spending ministry of thi
Compassionate Christ and His occa
sional exercise of His Divine author
, ity. Our lesson tells not only o
, | the healing of a beloved member o
Fisherman Peter's humble home, bu
. also of the stilling of the tempest 01
j' the Lake of Galilee
l I Any one who has dwelt long b;
, ; the shores of Galilee's lake is fa
. j miliar with the sudden storms whicl
, | arise over this usually placid water
. j I have seen the lake lashed witl
, I fury’, with whitecaps like those wi
. i know on the ocean. Such a storn
, arose one day when the wear;
. Healer was asleep in a fishing craft
. The hardy boatmen were afiTrightet
and feared drowning. How helples
I the strongest of us in the grip o
. natural forces! “Save, Lord; w
, perish!” cried the affrighted crew
. j And Jesus stilled the storm with ;
. I word.
, I When storms arise, in our per
. I sonal lives or in society, as at pres
j ent, wTe turn, like the Galilean boat
.’ men, to the Source of authority
, The truth of God’s control of al
■ forces is the taproot of all religion
Situations are ever arising whereii
He, and only He, can save us. T
be aware of the power of God, ant
1 to be in submissive fellowship witl
1 it, is to draw’ the sting of life.
