THE JUDGE
THE LESSON
Subject: The Call to be Mission
aries..
Golden Text: Go ye therefore and
make diciples of all the nations —
M-ithew XXVIIT: 19.
"These missionary lessons, "began
the Judge." do not seem particularly
interesting to many, and yet they are
the most practical of subjects for us
Missionary zeal is the
to consider,
motive force that spreads abroad any
idea or any scheme, and success comes
in proportion as zeal is manifested
by its promoter. Even the most ne
farious goods ever perperated on a
gullible public depend on missionary
zeal on the part of the salesmen to put
theii product over. The famous Con
necticut wooden nut-meg. wild-cat
mining stock, fake real estate deals,
and gold bricks without number have
made famous the American capacity
to be swindled.
"But there is a zeal for righteous
ness and fair-play, too, in thc Ameri
can make up, and the antidote for
these harmful things, is a greater zea
to promote the truthful article on the
part of its missionaries. Because of
the unrighteousness of slavery mis
sionary .zeal brought emancipation.
Lincoln was one of thc greatest mis
sionaries of all times, .and a Christian
missionary, too. as well as a political
one. Because of the infamous wrong
wrought society by intoxicating li
quors. missionary zeal has brought to
us tvuion-wide prohibition. And who
can deny but that is one of the tri
umphs of Christ's gospel? Yet, a cen
tury ago. when temperance began to
be agitated by the early Washington
ian societies, thc W. C. T. U., and
that mighty provtgonist for righteous
ness, John B. Gough, how hopeless
their crusade seemed.
:
"Today we face considerable law
breaking Some think the laws are
more ignored today than any other
time in our national history. But I
don't agree with them. The larger
proportion of thc jeoplc arc law-abid
ing. and they want to see law-abiding
prevail among all citizens. Our Presi
dent recently s .tid some notable words
on the subject of the people and their
reverence for law. Will some one
read them to the class?"
The quotation was from President
Coolidge's address to the governors
assembled at his invitation at the
White House. He said:
This government is their govern
ment—these laws arc their laws. They
have formed their government and en
acted their laws, with all due solem
nity, to promote their welfare and pro
tect their liberties.
They are not a
nation of inebriates; they are not a
people that can be charged with being
hypocrites. They have no patience
with anarchy. They arc a sober, frank,
and candid people,
spect and reverence for duly consti
tuted authority. To them the law is
a rule of action. Fundamental
tional characteristics are not going
to be changed,
conceptions are going to remain per
manent, The great body of the peo
ple are thoroughly law-abiding. This
great law-abiding element of thc

President Coolidge made his first

Armistice Day. He and Mrs. Cool

something of an occasion, and not

in the possible effect on the south of
