MODERN PHARISEES
j j By REV, EVERETT DEAN' ELLEN WOOD, |
PASTOR UNIVERSAL1ST CHURCH
=iJ
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 Jn
themselves that they were righteous,
and despised others.” Here two men
of the same race, but of distinctly dif
ferent thought and practice, are over
heard at their devotions, “the one a
Phurlsee and the other a publican."
The first was u* much honored and re.
vered by all loyal Jews as the other
altation, and genuine repentance Is the
first evidence of humility.
The Modern Pharieee.
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.' Afl 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 publl-
And, even though their voices
was heartily despised and Imted, and | niay not always be heard In the snne-
‘ tuary, yet by the very attitude of their
dally lives do they express their grati
tude that they had been set apart as a
pecuHnr people. They fallen upon our
vocabulary such terms as “the rab
ble,” “the crowd,” “the common herd,"
“proletariat,'' "the proper people to
know," “the quality,*' "society (with a
capital H),’’ and the numerous other
labels by which we are taught to recog
nize the division of the family of hu
manity Into grudes and classes. And
because this becomes a vocabulary of
the heart as well ns of the tongue we
become estranged from our brother und
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
certainly 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, hut a religious delinquent and out
cast, the object of the utter scorn and
contempt of all those who boasted
themselves "the need of Abraham."
And yet this strange teacher of dif
ficult philosophies and spiritual enig
mas declared that this outcast, whose
very office wns anathema, “went down
to ills house justified, rather than the
other."
Humility is the price of spiritual cx-
Is not a dishonorable one, like that of
the bookmaker at the race tracks, for
Instance. The corporation director,
fresh from the meeting where pluns
have been fully perfected for throttling
the life of a score of Independent In
dustries, gratifies hls % 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 and bank robber, like that other
poor fellow whom he knew so well In
college, and whose mind was 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
presence 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 be forever accursed, the while she
devoutly thanks God that hers Is not
this case.
The owner of that splendid building
down the street enters the church of
his choice on the accustomed day of
i
REV. E. D. ELLENWOOD.
Righteousness." while he thanks God
that he Is guiltiest* 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 thanks
God hourly that he has been called to
be a messenger of love and peace and
good will, of broad charity and all-ein-
braclng 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 p 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
ol 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.
Thtologioal 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 Qod
that they are saved, you hear him urge
the emulation of the spirit of that s*une
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 has done more than
anything else toward constituting tne
church In the minds of tho majority of
men and women as a safe' haven for
the sanctified rather than that which 1
am convinced Christ Intended It to be
come, simply the most efficient school
for righteousness.
The most acceptable gratitude which
a repentant soul may render unto God
for providing constantly the certain
means of ralvarion. Is by adopting
that means as the working principle of
his own life, and praying earnestly with
heart and hand and brain that he may
be able to bring forth fruits meet for
repentance.
One of the most striking examples of
modern theological Pharisaism re
cently furnished to the world, was seen
a few weeks ago in the bitter and vin
dictive denunciation of his audience
by a noted evangelist because of their
apparent unwillingness to accept at hi3
hands the salvation of which he no
repeatedly declares himself assured,
and of which he conceives himself to
be a special administrator to the nesiu.
The Publican’s Prayer, **
More than exultation for salvation
already attained does the world need
to take constantly upon Its lip* as thp
outpouring from Its heart, the humble
reverent, penitent prayer of the m.h
ilcan, "God be merciful to me a l,
ner." n *
When we have attained salvation wa
shall have no need to advertise that
Joyful fact to the eagerly waiting world
Heaven and earth will ring with ho
sannns, and our transfiguring lives wii*
tell their own story. If our salvation i*
really a fact we shall be so busy in
trying to bring other' men the Joy th ;it
has become ours Wat we shall have no
time tcy'waste In thanking God that we
are not like other men. The arlstoera
~y of self-righteousness shall be lost m
is aristocarcy of service, and „ ur
greatness shall be measured by o Ur
humility. ur
The first step toward personal right
eousness Is the Individual recognition
of Its need.
The most hopelessly unhappy sinner
In all God’s universe of heavenward
striving soqls Is that unfortunate on.*
who knows that he Is saved.
Rome men measure us by our pro
fessions and our assumptions, others
a little more discerning, will demand
of us accomplishment, but God’s esti
mate* will be based upon the hearts
unfeigned aspirations.

ganlsed union of German cities. The
German cities, and afterwards many
others, organised In what became
known In later times as -The Han
seatic Federation."
Hanseatio League.
The word Hansa Is found in one
translation of Ilia Bible a* signifying
a society or union of men.
Aldermen were selected from Impor
tant cities, and each city had a key to
a common treasury.
Each city sa represented was made
responsible If a trader suffered ma
lignant ahlpwreck or was robbed of hi*
goods within its domain. If such things
occurred these cities were bound to
help the sufferer recover his goods and
his safety.
It can be Imagined how tills very old
union (probably the oldest on record)
found difficulty In having Its laws car.
rled out, when It Is known that the
church, at that era, looked on the
spoils of wreckage a* Its legitimate
dues.
.Many churches and monasteries were
founded on'this spoil. All the booty
cast ashore by the waves was regarded
a* the “gift of Providence," and the
dwellers on the Baltic shores. It la said,
In their prayers dolly asked God to
give them a "Oood harvest of flotsam
and Jetsam."
Neverthelea, the German cities kept
at their organlxed efforts, and grew In
power nnd wisdom with the years.
Each defaulting city had to pay a
line of $10,000 (In our money), and this
went to strengthen the union, and for
any recurrence of such defalcation ex
pulsion from the community was added.
Movement Grow*.
This punishment wae called “unhan-
aing.” The etaln of this punishment
was only wiped out by pilgrimages to
distant shrines, added to heavy money
tributes.
And so the honor of the union nnd a
■ense of II* serious purpose were main,
talned.
And this was the very beginning of
the transformation of pirates and rob
bers into honorable tollers and Indus-
trlous citizens.
It was the beginning of co-operation
—of labor unions.
A North German chronicler of th,
thirteenth century says: “The organi
sation did not please the princes,
knights and robbers; especially did It
displease those who forever put forth
their bands for booty. They said It
was shameful that merchants should
rule over high-born and noble men."
Just so ws hear people talk nmv
when any organised efTort It being
made to circumvent the high-born rob-
ber* who “put forth their hands for
booty."
But juat as the Hansa fedtratlon
grew In strength and power, until it
changed the whole system of human
existence, so will oil organlxed efforts
of the pjesent day grow; and all co.
operative movements, until our own
world of the twentieth century changes
Into something higher and greater than
exlsta today.
i\* the old sea pirates and robbers
were put to rout, so will our pirate* of
11 nance and our trust robbers be mndo
to stand aside through the swelling
power of the new Hansa League.
