A Lesson for the Week
Greatest Propaganda of All
Has Lasted for Centuries
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
These are days for A. B, C thinking.. The man who counts most Is
not the one who knows the largest number of international facts, and
has the shrewdest judgement of diplomatic and military moves, but it
is the man who sees deepest into the heart of humanity. What are, or
should be, the master motives of mankind? To what appeals do people
ultimately respond? What are real goals, and their real purposes?
Life’s greatest Teacher had a unique gift for getting at the heart of
things. That is whv his teachings*
are of universal application. They
fit every land and time and condi
tion.
Again and again, He demolished
the notion—nowadays more preva
lent than then—that life is meant
for the enjoyment of things: that
possessions, luxury and ease are the
ends of existence. Real life resides
in one’s loves and loyalties. In the
credo of Christ, there is no such
sentence as, “A man must live.” We
search His words in vain for any
warrant that the maintenance of
any fixed standard of living is es
sential to happiness. Only one thing
really matters: our loyalty to our
Gleam, to Christ and His kingdom.
For within that
loyalty are en
wrapped. and
■purified all our
lesser loyalties
and loves.
The old truth
is time-tested. It
has blossomed
into all the new
forms of human
itarianism which
have amelio
rated the lot of
mankind. Now
adays many
earnest spirits
and prof ound w. t. Eiu«.
minds are pondering the sort of
new world order that will follow
the present war. These ideas do not
always get into print; but. make no
mistake about it, they bulk large in
the thinking and talk of the sober
minded. who recognize that civili- |
zation simply cannot continue along
its old predatory way. * j
This resolution to achieve a new
state of things in human society is |
the deepest-running fide of our time.
Along the frothy edges of it are
many crack-pot schemes. But the
real movement was begun by Jesus
when He chose 12 of His closest
friends to pioneer the program. He
envisaged the Kingdom of Heaven
as the ideal form of society. While
He created no organization, He did
set in motion a propaganda that
began with His first personal dis
ciples, and has continued, in in
creasing power, throughout the cen
turies since.
The Master Propagandist.
In a day beset by petty, and often
stupid, propaganda, it is helpful to ^
stand aside and take a long look,
down the ages and over the whole
earth, at the achievements of this
Master Propagandist. For it was
by propaganda alone that Jesus
planned to win mankind for the
Kingdom. Tme, there have been
periods when sections of His church
have sought to achieve their ends
by the exercise of authority and
force; but, in the large view, these
have all miscarried. Tell the Story,
and live it out—that was Christ’s
program.
Several points arise for comment
as we contemplate the great propa
ganda and its beginnings. First is
the utter absence of selfish motives.
Not for gain or glory were the dis
ciples sent forth. Second, they were
to expect sacrifice, hardship, rebuffs,
even death. At one period of the
Early Church the zeal for martyr
dom was so excessive among the
Christians that their leaders were
obliged to warn sternly against it.
The Anti-God Forces.
The Gospel Propaganda ran as a
great gulf of division through man
kind. Jesus warned that it would
sever the closest ties and set dear
ones against one another. There
cannot be two supreme allegiances.
And for loyalty to Christ men and
women have gone songfully to death
at stake and by sword; they have
been torn by wild beasts and have
suffered exile, prison and every sort
of deprivation. Our present-day
missionaries in China have been
fellow partakers with the Early
Church of suffering and service. By
all who put the Kingdom first, the
Great Propaganda has continued its
ever-victorious sway. Even the pres
ent war has as its deepest division
between Christian and anti-Chris
tian ideals.
Steadily the deep Christian con
sciousness of the Western World is
awakening to a realization that three
avowedly anti-God nations are at
war—Germany, Russia and Japan.
Before ever they joined battle with
other powers, they were conducting,
as a matter of national policy and
strategy, a definite propaganda
against God and Christ. While
everybody knows about the fierce
“anti-God" campaign of Russia, and
of Germany’s plea for a return to
paganism, and her cruel internment
of Pastor Niemoeller, and scores of
other pastors, as well as her bitter
persecution of Jews, few have heard
of Japan's course in Korea, and of
the real significance of the revival
of Shintoism.
Looking for “Life.”
Alas that so many misguided and
ignorant youth should be looking for
“life" in places where death lurks!
It is in Christian confession and
discipleship that “life" is really
found—life in its depths of meaning.
With profound philosophy, Jesus
told His disciples that “he that
loseth his life for My sake shall find
it." The sting is taken from life by
the person who prizes kingdom goals
above his own existence or comfort
or pleasure. In a very real sense,
wre are not fit to live unless we are
ready to die. That is the soldier's
faith. All of us instinctively revolt
against the current cult which pic
tures as the supreme goal a mere
prolongation of physical existence.
Our Master laid down His life in the
full flower of young manhood.
But enough talk of living and
dying. We must find room for an
allusion to the closing verse of this
great tenth chapter of Matthew
Lest His disciples should become too
exalted, too high and mighty, Jesus
reminded them that as a part of
their mission they should give a cup
of cold water to a thirsty child. He
fixed the practice of His propaganda
on the level of everyday life where
today uncounted millions are put
ting it into operation.
The Sunday School Lesson for
December 3 is “Spreading the
Good News.”—Matthew x.
