MODERN PHARISEES
By REV. EVERETT DEAN ELLEN WOOD,!
PASTOR UNIVERSAL1ST CHURCH 1
O NE of the most personal and soul-
searching utterances of the di
vine teacher of Nazareth was
the one which It Is recorded that He
spoke "unto certain which trusted In
themselves that they were righteous,
and despised others." Here two men
of the same race, but of distinctly dif
ferent thought and practice, ^rc over
heard at their devotions, “the one a
Pharisee and the other a publican.”
The first was us‘much honored and re
vered by all loyal Jews as the other
i nltatlon, and genuine repentance Is the
; first evidence of humility.
The Modern Pharitfe.
Modern society has Its Pharisees,
even though they may not always en
large the borders of their garments,
and though their foreheads may wear
no distinguishing phylacteries. As of
old, they regularly go up Into the tem
ple to pray, lifting up their voices In
thanksgiving to God. "that they are
not like other men, extortioners, un
just, adulterers, or even as this publi
can.” And, even though their voices
was heartily despised and hated, and | ma y not always he heard in the sanc-
certalnly with good cause. The one'
represented in concrete form the age
long dream of his people of the restor
ation of the olden glory and power of
Israel, while the other, for personal
gain, had sold himself to the hated
conquerors to assist in extorting the
taxes from the conquered, becoming by
this defection not only a political trait
or, but a religious delinquent and out
cast, the object of the utter scorn and
contempt of all those who boasted
themselves “the seed of Abraham.”
And yet this strange teacher of dif
ficult philosophies and spiritual enig
mas declared that this outcast, whose
very office was anathema, "went down
to his house Justified, rather than the
other.”
Humility is the price of spiritual ex-
tuary, yet by the very attitude of their
dally lives do they express their grati
tude that they had been set apart as a
peculiar people. They fasten upon our
vocabulary Much terms as “the rab
ble,” "the crowd,*' "the common herd,"
“proletariat,” “the proper people to
know,” "the quality,” "society (with a
capital S),” and the numerous other
labels by which we are taught to recog
nize the division of the family of hu
manity Into grades and classes. And
because this becomes a vocabulary of
the heart as well as of the tongue we
become estranged from/>ur brother and
lose the power of co-operation and mu
tual self-help.
The stock broker enters reverently
Into the Inner sanctuary of his own
well-fostered self-righteousness and
devoutly thanks God that his business
Is not a dishonorable one, like that of
the bookmaker at the race tracks, for
Instance. The corporation director,
fresh from the meeting where plans
have been fully perfected for throttling
the life of a score of independent In
dustries, gratifies his benevolent’ Im
pulse by still another addition to the
endowment of his favorite charity, and
sits down to meditate upon the good-
*ness of God that he should have been
led to devote his splendid talent and
energy to legitimate business enter
prises Instead of becoming a noted des
perado end bank robber. Uke that other
poor fellow Whom he knew no well In
college, and whose mind waa certainly
as good as his own.
The popular “society” leader whose
proud record shows at least three living
husbands, by the grace of the conven
ient divorce laws which curse our land,
changes her seat In the street car lest
she be contaminated by the Immediate
presenye of her foolish sister of the
street, whose easily bartered virtue
yields not the splendid revenue of her
own frequent shifting of family rela
tion. 8he Is more than apt to dis
countenance and discourage every fee
ble attempt of this wretched outcast to
reclaim herself, mentally avowing her
to he forever accursed, the while she
devoutly thanks God that hers Is not
this case.
The owner of that splendid building
clown the street enters the church of
his choice on the accustomed day of
REV. E. D. ELLENWOOD.
| Righteousness.” while he thanks God
that he is guiltless of any great crime
against society like that of the wicked
and selfish man who conducts the pop*-
ular saloon on the ground floor of that
building.
The minister of the gospel thunks
God hourly that he has been called to
be a messenger of love and peace and
good will, of broad charity and all-em
bracing fraternity, and with averted
face and glance of unrecognition he
passes upon the common thoroughfare
his brother of differing credal concep
tion. _
The newspapers of a great city vie
with each other for months in the pub
lication of editorials and news items
certainly potent to goad to the limit of
endurance the taut racial antagonism
of an overwrought and prejudiced com
munity, and then In the baleful gleam
of the appalling conflagration which
their united unwisdom had helped to
provoke they stand "aloof one from the
other and, In Pharisaical self-right
eousness, congratulate themselves that
they were not the one who plied the
bellows to the smouldering flame.
Theologioal Pharisaism.
Too much of modern theology and
Its ordinary application furnisher at
once the justification and the training
school for the modern Pharisee.
Wherever you hear a religious leader
exhorting his hearers to rise in the
"experience meeting” and thank God
that they are saved, you hear him urge
. the emulation of the spirit of that some
Pharisee whose self-righteousness was
so strongly- condemned by the .Master.
Our expressions of state or condition
are only possible through the medium
of comparison, and he who thanks God
for the self-assurance of his own sal
vation. ‘simply thanks God “that he Is
not like other men.” It Is quite likely
that the constant preaching of this
erroneous theology h&s done more than
anything else- toward constituting tne
church in the minds of the majority of
men and women as a safe lmven for
the sanctified rather than that which I
am convinced Christ Intended It to be
come, simply the most efficient school
for righteousness.
The most acceptable gratitude which
ft repentant soul may render unto God
for providing const®ntly the certain
means of ralvatlon. Is by adopting
that means as the working principle of
own life, and praying earnestly with
heart and hand and brain that he tnay
be able to bring forth fruits meet for
repentance.
One of the most striking examples of
modem theological Pharisaism re
cently furnished to the world, was seen
a few wefeks ago In the bitter and vin
dictive denunciation of his audience
by a sioted evangelist because of their
apparent unwillingness to accent at hi?
handH the salvation of which he so
repeatedly declares himself assured,
and of which he conceives himself to
! be a special administrator to the nK
The Publican’s Prayer.
More than exultation for salvation
already attained does the world need
to take constantly upon its lips ns th-
outpouring from Its heart, the huinhu
reverent, penitent prayer of the Imh
Ilcan, “God be merciful to tne a I'
ner.” ’ n ‘
When we have attained salvation u-
shall have no need to advertise that
joyful fact to the eagerly waiting world
Heaven and earth will ring with ho
sannas, and our transfiguring lives » v n*
tell their own story. If our salvation t*
really a fact we shall be so busy in
trying to bring other men the Joy that
lias become Ours that we shall have no
time to waste In thanking God that we
are not like other then. The aristoera
cy of self-righteousness shall be lost in
the aristocarcy of service, and «, ur
greatness shall be measured by our
humility. • ur
The first step toward personal right,
eousness Is the individual recognition
of Its need.
The most hopelessly unhappy winner
In all God’s universe of heavenward
striving souls Is that unfortunate one
who knows that he Is saved.
Rome men measure us by our pro-
fessions and our assumptions, other*
a little more discerning, will demand
of us accomplishment, but God's esti
mates will be based upon the heart’s
unfeigned aspirations.

lirst attempt made by any trade union
to register a union label.
The British government has appoint
ed a committee of scientists to Inquire
Into the probable economic effect of an
eight-hour working day In the mines.
The Antalgamated Association of
Electric Railway Employees Is pledged
to arbitration of all disputes before
suspending woftt. '
it ts estimated that the Varmers'
Union has a membership of over 500,-
000 In ths cotton-growing states of the
South alone.
Employees In the navy yards, naval
stations, arsenals and gun factories
have formed a national organization at
New York and elected officers.
The Clgamiakers' International Un
ion has 495 locals throughout the couh-
try, aud has about $700,000 In Its treas
ury.
When we think this world Is a wlclt
ed and selfish place, we need to look
back to Its condition something like 500
yenrs ago.
The civilized world (or what passed
for It) at that period considered
“wrecking” a legitimate occupation.
Pirate ships went forth unhindered by
law and with the boldly avowed and
publicly understood Intention of wreck
ing merchant nhlps, depriving them of
their cargoes and' making their owners
slave, and vassals.
The unwritten law made the con
quered the slave of the conqueror al
ways In those days.
in spite of such a condition mer
chant ships piled the seas and carried
their cargoes over the Baltic and the
Mediterranean seas, brought the people
of tne Northlands In touch with those
of the Southlands and traded with alt
known ports (it the world.
It was the German nation that first
made an effort to circumvent the es
tabllshed methods of wreckers and pi
rates.
This effort took the form of an or
ganized union of German cities. The
German cities, and afterwards many
others, organized In what became
known in later times as "The Han
seatlc Federation.”
Hanseatic League.
The word Hansa Is found In one
translation of the Bible as signifying
a society or union of men.
Aldermen were selected from Impor
tant cities, nnd each city had a key to
a common treasury.
Each city so represented was made
responsible If a trader suffered ma
lignant shipwreck or was robbed of his
goods within Its domain. If such things
occurred these cities were bound to
help the sufferer recover his goods und
his safety.
It can be Imagine*? how this very old
union (probubly the oldest on record)
round difficulty in having Its laws car
ried out, when It Is known that the
church, at that era, looked on the
spoils of wreckage as Its legitimate
dues.
Many churches and monasteries were
founded on this spoil. All the booty
cast ashore by the waves was regarded
as the “gift of Providence,” and the
dwelldr* on the Baltic shores, It It said,
in their prayers daily asked God to
give them a "Good harvest of flotsam
and Jetsam.”
Nevertheles, the German cities kept
at their organized efforts, and grew In
power and wisdom with the years.
Each defaulting city had to pay a
fine of $10,000 (in our money), and tills
went to strengthen the. union, and for
any recurrence of such defalcation ex
pulsion from the community was added.
Movement Grows.
This punishment was called “unhan
ging." The stain of this punishment
was only wiped out by pilgrimages to
distant shrines, added to heavy money
tributes.
\ And so the honor of the union and a
sense of Its serious purpose were main
tained.
And this was the very beginning of
the transformation of pirates and rob
bers Into honorable tollers and Indus
trious citizens.
It was the beginning of co-operation
—of labor unions.
A North German chronicler of the
thirteenth century says: "The organi
zation did not please the princes,
knights and robbers,- especially did It
displease those who forever put forth
their hands for booty. They said It
was shameful that merchants should
rule over high-born and noble men."
Just so we hear people talk now
when any organized effort Is being
made to circumvent the high-born rob
bers who "put forth their hands for
booty.”
But Just as the Hansa federation
grew In strength and power, until It
changed the whole system of human
existence, so will all organized efforts
of the present day grow: and all co
operative movements, until our own
world of the twentieth century changes
into something higher and greater than
exists today.
As the old sea pirates and robbers
were put to rout, ao will our pirates of
finance and our trust robbers be mailo
to stand aside through the swelllnt
power of tho new Hansa League.
