THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER C4. 1906. 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.

Shoemakers in Austria get $7 u week, rhlle In Lynn, Mass., they receive $12. The labor unionist-- In Northwest Canada are taking actively to the for mation of a separate political party. A union of Italian furniture workers has been formed tn Philadelphia. Efforts are being made to have a bill passed In Nevada making the first Mondny In September Labor Day, The Prince law In New York, which makes It a misdemeanor to bribe a la bor official. Is y> be tested shortly. The New South Wales Employers' l-'ederntlon has decided to oppose the 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.
