SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON AND YOUNG PEOPLE’S TOPIC A ROUND-THE-WORLD CURRENT tain Mahon, said in nc address In Now York, there Is danger of inverting the order of the two greatest commandment*. Our time Is emphasizing the second, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But the first really isr-nnd a little thought will ' ' ft The International Sunday School Lesson for June 30 is, "A Temperance Lesson," 1 Cor. 10: 22-23. Tho Golden Text Is, "It Is Good Neither to Eat Flesh, Nor to Drink Wine, Nor Anything Whereby Thy Brother Stumbleth ” Romans 14: 21. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS. Thore Is a dost of unlabeled Christianity In the world In these days. The tidal wave of many-named socialism that seems to be sweeping ovor the whole earth Is, after all, but an expression of the Now Testament principle to which tho Sunday schools this week give attention. Tho stu dent unrest In Japan, the revolution In Russia, the spectacular awakening of Chino, the struggle of Korea for national exist ence, the portentlous Swadeshi movement I India, the mntterings of the “Young gypt" party, the dominance of laborlsm Qd liberalism In British politics, and tho owerful social ferment In the United States, may all reasonably be Interpreted us widely separated specimens of the ono un derlying sentiment of individual liberty and social Interdependence. Ostensibly, at least, all of these manifestations look to the bet terment of the common welfare and the enlargement of personal rights and Inde pendence. Old-Fashioned Up-to-Dateness. everybody Is under obligations to all. That Is, broadly stated, the day’s platform. Yet what Is that but tho Pauline teaching, net forth In tho present Sunday school les- Hon. “Let no man seek hla own, but each uIh neighbor’s good?” Or, again, "Not socking my owu profit, but the profit of tho nuyiy.’ r There you have what tne tracts used to call “truths for tho time.” Ho Ih « dull teacher, Indeed, who can not point *uls lesson with Illustrations not a few from the days' news. In truth, tho coinci dence between tho theme of this lesson and • no thought of tho day Is most extraor dinary. The world's socialism is seeking the goal long ago Indicated by Inspired pens, even though It know it not. The day's “ad vanced" thinkers may consider themselves ahead of the old-fashioned Book: but In truth they are only coming up to it. Thero way be nn atmosphere of novelty and pro- grosslvenese about espousing the cause of the common weal, as set forth under va rious names, yst the indisputable fact Is that this has been the message of Christian- ty for centuries. The Christian church at its purest hag presented the nearest to an ideal social condition that the world has p ver scan. Ill-Founded Temperance Teaching. In tho present Instance, this big truth, which Jesus embodied In His llfo and Ills followers set down on the sacred page, Is indicated for .Its bearing upon the temper- snee question, which once a quarter Is designated as the theme of study by the millions of members of the Sunday school. Herein Is found the sanest and most uni 6allnl>le basis for tho temperance position. When children are taugnt, with more seal than truthfulness, that only bad people ever drink Intoxicants, they grow up to learn that the teaching Is not true. When they are told that to taste liquor always menna drunkenness and ruin they are certain Inter to discover the falsity of this Instruction. When It Is represented to them that the drinking of wlno Is forbidden by Scripture their own Intelligent fending eventually controverts the statement. No man can ever know how much tempernneo Instruc tion has fallen to the ground In failure because bnsed upon these unsound founda tions. A Man's Noblest "Right.” But when tho Pauline position of noble altruism Is token—“give no occasion for stumbling"—surrendering one’s lawful right because It Is not expedient or does not build up, then the temperance propaganda stands upon uti unshakable basis. Not only has a man a right to give up his own Indulgence In ly taste, for the sake of his fellow-men, it he Is concededly noble In the exerclso of that right. To do for others, or to do without for others, Is magnanimous and brotherly; It Is the law of the Ideal llfo. This Is the platform upou which Paul taught concerning a subject analogous to the modern drinking habit: the eating by Cbrtstlnus of meat which had been offered to idols. Tho meat was nothing In Itself: the effect of the eating of It upon one's own conscience, and the conscience of one's follow-men, was the main consideration. Paul, you see. was a Christian socialist. Thero Is a higher ground yet. and to It the great apostle ascended. There Is a loftier motive for human action than man kind’s welfare: n motive which Is really necessary to tho sustenance of the latter. This is the glory of God. The highest ex- B resslon of man’s good Is God's glory. Man i rarely In right relations with man until he Is In right relations with God. “Get right with God" Is the prelude to getting right with man. A sense of obligation Jo Infinite has ever been the most now< "* to tne i i hcrefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ya o, do all to the glory of God." The man who lives by that law will never make a brewer rich or n neighbor poor. A Naval Man's Theory. The religious motive Is most needed In life. As the famous nnval authority. Cap- , . .

Intemperance la In such a one nothing less than Iniquity. A Word of Warning, While preferring to deal with principles ns sot forth above rather than with detailed practices, yet I can not forego this oppor tunity to suggest a fact In relation to the use of alcoholic beverages which has of late been forced upon my attention. In a year s Journey around tne world I bare noted everywhere tho partnership of strong drink with other vices.

The meaning of tbls is patent: "Where there Is drink there Is danger.’’ The stimu lating glass has been the means of Innumer- ab e persons' Introduction to even worse habits.
