“The Good Samaritan”
A Sermon by Rev. ?H Faust, Winder, Ga,
Text: *“But a certaln Samaritan, as
he journeyed, came where he was; and
when he saw him he had compassion on
him.” Luke x:33,
The story of the Good Samaritan has
thrilled the hearts of readers and hear
ers since it was spoken by the Master,
and more and more is the sflrit of the
Samaritan manifesting itself in the
every-day living of people. Neighbors
are better to each other now than they
were centuries ago. 'Times have im
proved, and we are living in the golden
age of the world's history. Say ye not
that former times are better than these
glorious days in which our lot has been
so pleasantly cast, Just a few nights
ago I chanced to drop into a store and
heard a number of men talking about
a court that had just been in session
in one of the counties of the State. A
scene was described that was indica
tive of a better age, a better day for
Christianty . Two neighbers it seems, had
fallen out with each other about some
trivial affair that didn't amount to
much, and the matter came to the
Grand Jury. The jurors, knowing the
men and the circumstances, got down
and prayed that the difficulty might be
seitled and that they might be friends.
Think of it. A Grand Jury with men
on it who were not ashamed to pray
that neighbors might be neighborly.
Alas, that so many juries do not pray.
Again, récently, 1 heard of a court
opened by a judge each morning with
prayer. Think of it; prayer to the Al
mighty for strength and wisdom 1o
guide the officials in the dispensation of
justige. It Is needed, and the fact that
it is being done is a delight to the
hearts of the seryants of the King.
Read the story with the desire to
get some real help from it and it will
be as full of help of the right sort
as the Pacific Ocean is of water. There
is great good in it, and vital lessons
taught, In the story possibly it would
ot be spiritualizing too much to say
that the different characters represent
rlussei_ an_q. persons as follo_!vs;
. The Wounded Man the Race.
The story of the fellow going down
from Jerusalem to Jericho and falling
among men of a low type who beat him
and robbed him and left him for dead
refers to the condition of the entire
human race, dead in trespasses and sins,
crueity and despitefully used by the
Devil who is our chief enemy. Here
comes in the great doctrine of de
pravity. We have all sinned and fallen
short of the glory of God. The Imagi
nation of our hearts has been evil from
our vouth up. When we would do good,
evil is always present with us. Adam
sinned and brought sin upon all his
posterity. Wounds and bruises and
sores and afflictions are the common lot
and heritage of man, and like this poor
fellow who was overtaken by the rob
bers and left in such an ill plight, so the
entire family of man has been over
taken by sin and left sore and help
less before God. And it is not slm{ply
one, but all; “‘all have sinned and fallen
short of the glory of God.” Not sim
ply the white race, but the black and
red and yellow. Not simply the poor,
but the rich and the influential and
powerful. Not simply those who speak
the German language, but those whe
speak KEnglish and French and Spanish
and Portuguese and Itallan and Polish
—all, all.
The Devil Is the Thieves,
That is a clear and simple proposi
tion. There has never been a time
since the days back yonder described by
Job when the sons of God gathered to
gether that the devil was not present
always where he was and is not need
ed. The most grievous sin of the pres
ent generation is that of underestimat
ing the devil and his power. He isn't
omnipotent, but he i{s so nearly om
nipotent that people who fail to study
the matter as they should feel that he
is. He isn't omnipresent, but he is such
a continuous traveler and such a good
general that he seems to be everywhere
on the field at the right time, at the
‘auspicious moment. He isn't om
'niscient, but he is such a fine student of
human nature and such a close ob
server of the weaknesses and frailties
of men that he appears to some to know
everything. He has a personality and
along with that personality he has
power. He is referred to as the prince
of the powers of the air. He has con
trol of things in high places, Some of
us can remember when we had intem
perance to fight among the poor and ig
norant, among the slums and lower
communities. But with marvelous skill
the devil has drawn his forces in be
hind the respectable clubs and socie
ties and intrenched himself in the
‘white vest brigade for his last desper
ate stand. In past years he had his re
cruiting station among the wool hat
boys, now he is ensconsed among the
white vest gentlemen. And any booze
fighter knows that it is easier to stop
a poor negro from handiing liquor con
trary to law than it is to step a man
who is high up socially and wgu has a
blg bank account. Some man recently
said that the church of the present day
needn’'t fear any enemy save the one
who was in its own membership. Out
side forces don't count. If the so-called
Christians, the church members, were
to take the stand that they should
and fight the devil as they ought it
would be only a short time before evil
would be put down. Let the newspa
pers of our country take a strong and
decided stand for clean, honest govern
ment, or champion the cause of the
downtrodden and oppressed. Lei them
for instance take up the cudgel in de
fense of mistreated prisoners, and at
once some fellow begins to cry out that

SAME IRON RATES.
WASHINGTON, April 10.—Pend
fng further action the Interstate
Commerce Commission has author
-Ized the Southern Railway to main
tain the same rates on iron and
steel articles from Savannah to Au
gusta via Blackville, 8. C... as are
concurrently in effect by way of the
Central of Georgia, without observ
ing the long and short haul pro
vigion,
the penitentiaries will get to be so pop
vlar after a while that people will want
to go there, Well, I've been about
some over the State, and, honest truth,
I never heard of a man sane and sound
who volunteered to go to the chaingang
because the poor prisoners were having
such a good time. 1 hope rome reader
who has heard of such a case will no
tify me.s Praise the Lord there are men
all over the land to-day who are not
afraid to stand for the rl%‘ms of mis
treated men everywhere, he spirit of
the Good Samaritan is still abroad in
the land. And the day of brutality is
fast passing away. ‘The light of the
Gospel has been turned in upon the
darkness of the Jericho road, the poor
unfortunates are being helped. The day
of the locker club, the convict whipping
boss, along with the fiendish instru
ments of the Spanish inquisition, will
soon be only a horrible bit of history.
Men are too enlightened to be robbed
completely and turned over to the devil
body and soul. They know better,
The Priest Is the Law.
We have had law in the world since
the days when Moses stood face to face
with God in Sanai, but law yet never
saved a man. KExamine our statute
books and see that there is a law
against murder, and yet nearly every
daily paper carries the news of mur
ders. lLaw against lots of things, but
still erime continues. T'he priest doesn't
help a man--the law doesn’t help a man
in the sense of saving him, but the Gos
pel does. 1t plays the part of the Good
Samaritan every time. About all that
law- can do is to become a schoolmaster
to lead men to Christ. The law says
thou shalt not, but deesn't provide any
reimedy when ecrime has been comit
ted. Ceremonial ordinances will heip
out but little, and serious, thinking
men must know that ritualism and cer
emouny are closing in on every side and
choking spirituality out of the churches.
Take the days before Martin Luther and
see how the churches had lost sight of
their mission, and were, through their
representatives, such men as Tetzel and
others, literally bartering and selling the
privileges to sin, ete. Take Engiand
before Wesley and Whittield started
their crusade for spirftual religion and
note its religious weakness. The Gospel
alone can make man do what is right,
and not only what is right, but what is
best also. 'The law is right; sin looms
larger and larger, and the siuner dies:
but grace comes and handles the erring
sinner differently, and what the law
failed to do the Gospel of love came in
and did with the utmost ease,
Every fellow Is Your Neighbor.
Not the fellow simply whose lands
join yours, for if that were the case
suppose you were to have a man who
owned an auger big enough and long
enough to bore a hole through the earth,
and suppose you were over on the other
side where the point of the auger came
out, on what part of the map would
you be, and near what large city would
f‘ou find yourself? It is a question that
s worth while. The next time you take
a long railroad trip look across and up
and down the car and look at your
neighbor. There sits a quiet looking
person buried behind a newspaper or a
book. Look closer and you will see that
he is a Chinaman or a Japancsge., Just
across in front is a jolly leilow who
hails from the British Isles. And to
your rear is to be scen a heavy-set fel
low whose very florid complexion and
looks of health declare him fresh from the
Fatherland. Who is your neighbor? Any
man who needs your aid, any fellow
who is down and out in the race of
life. Any fellow who needs . a chance:
any one who really could be help:d by
you in any way. Such men are your
neighbors. Treat them® kindly, as did
the Good Samaritan. The time will
come possibly in your own experience
when the Master will reward yvou; when
He will say even as ye did it to one
of the least of these My little ones, ve
did it unto Me; can 1 help you? Then
you are in deed and in truth my neigh
bor, and for me to refuse to aid you is
criminality of the baser and meaner
sort.
The story is told that a woman in one
of our Western States had a hog taker
with cholera, and the Government pro
vided an expert hog cholera doctor to
g 0 out and look after the hog. Anather
with a child stricken with tuberculosis
just couldn’t get aid from any one, and
the child died. Lord help us to put as
high value on our babies and our chil
dren as we put on hogs and cattle.
Mayhbe we love our neighbor as we love
ourselves. It don't take much to do a
kindly, neighborly deed. A poor tramp
who had seen better days was drunk in
a gutter on a hot day in summer® A
lady passed by and saw his bleared
face turned up to the sun. Having
compassion on him in this fallen condi
tion, she stooped down and placed her
handkerchief over his face for protec
tion. When he awoke from his drunken
debauch he saw the name of this cul
tured, Christian lady on the handker
chief. He took in the situation at a
glance and resolved if she thought
enough of him to_stoop and put ne
handkerchief over his face for protec
tion, that he would think enough of
himself not to mar the image of God in
heart to Christ and becaime a goed man.
The spirit of the Good Samaritan, our
Lord Jesus Christ, will be respended to
by any and all men—no one yet ever
lent a helping hand but that it was ap
preciated. The Samaritan’s purse, for
tune, his all, were at the disposal of his
needy neighbor. Can we say that our
all is laid upon the altar to be used by
our Master as he sees best? [lf we can't
now is the accepted time to get for our
selves the spirit of the Samaritan.
