Too Much Selfish Employment of Religion for
Personal Comfort
By REV. HARRY EMERSON FOSDICK (Baptist), New York.
RELIGION, like love, can be utterly selfish. Love gives and love
wants. There are always two sides to it, and a love where the
one side overbalances the other side can be disastrously ruinous.
Even mother love can be a destroying angel. I 1 or what some
mothers mean when they say “I love him,” is “I want him; I will not let
him be anybody else’s but mine.”
More than one young man has poured out to me the story of a blasted
life, and the cause, strangely enough, was a loving mother. For when love
becomes selfish it can do more damage than hate.
So it is with religion, for religion has comfortable aspects. It is easy
to get religion for comfort only. A man can love his family primarily for
what he gets out of it. A man can love his country primarily for what
he gets out of it. A man can love a friend and squeeze him like an orange
into his cup, and a man can love God for what there is in it. There is a
lot of that kind of religion today. Some of our most prominent modern
cults face the tremendous temptation to be religious for comfort only.
It is dreadful to he really irreligious, to think that creation has no
spiritual origin, meaning or destiny, that the creative power cares no
more for us than the weather for the grass. One flees from the Arctic cold
of irreligion to the gracious warmth of faith in God and Ill's goodness
and to the comfortable and sustaining power of His fellowship.
If I did not believe in missions for any other reason I would be
lieve in them because they keep alive the heroic tradition of a sacrificial
Christianity. They do at least challenge our easy consciences with the
conviction that Christ came to get some great business done on earth and
that it costs to do it.
Nation Can Have No Greater Concern Than
Development of Its Youth
By OSCAR LEONARD, B’nai B’rith Leader.
The problem of American Jewry, in common with that of America
itself, is that of its youth. The greatest concern of any people must be
its youth, because that is its future. But this is truer of Jews, since we
are a minority group. We must do something to save the Jewish youth
for the Jewish people. We must give them something of the ideals which
have animated our people through the ages.
Eor a time we were so busy finding our place in America that we
almost forgot our youth, and particularly our intellectuals. The result
being that many of them left us, or were about to leave us. It was Prof.
Chauncey Baldwin, a prominent Christian at the University of Illinois,
who called the attention of the B’nai B’rith to this peculiar situation
The B’nai B’rith, with its record of more than four score years of serv
ice, took up this work first in Illinois. The B’nai B’rith Hillel founda
tion was established there. This work was so successful that requests
came from other universities for similar foundations. Where established,
the foundation gives Jewish university students the opportunities to meet
together for social, spiritual and intellectual purposes.
Medical Profession Must Find Methods of Giv
ing Proper Care to the Needy
By DR. MALCOLM M. HARRIS, Chicago.
Unless the medical profession adopts methods of earing for needy
patients the medical foundation societies will. This will be to the detri
ment of the profession. Millions of dollars are being endowed to founda
tions. The doctors in them work on salaries. The idea is advanced that
the patients are patients, first of the hospital, second of the doctor.
It is the belief of the people that the medical profession is charging
prices so high as to make its services available only to the rich, that it is
failing to fulfill its obligations. The people are providing this other
method.
Exorbitant charges by surgeons are crimes against society. No physi
cian, no matter how eminent, is justified in making such charges. Charges
must be fair, honorable and just. They must not be greater than the
financial status of the patient justifies.
County medical societies should include every reputable physician
and should create institutions for the care of persons of slight means,
with every physician pledging a certain amount of time to the institu
tion. Only persons of limited means would be treated and they would
pay according to their means.
Faith in Mankind and Belief in God Inseparable,
Though Not Easy
By DR. CHARLES F. WISHART, President Wooster College.
Christianity is committed to fundamental faith in man and encour
ages men to see submerged possibilities in the most insignificant human
through the power of Christ in their lives. “Honor All Men” is the very
essence of Christianity. Belief in God and belief in man are inseparable
A thorough belief in man is manifestly not easy. In fact, it is not much
easier than a belief in God. It takes a great soul to believe in God. It
is about the largest achievement of the human spirit. Next to that is
belief in man. It takes a great man to sense the greatness of all men, to
work your way down beneath the overlay of circumstances, the appar
ent limitations, the puzzling inconsistencies, below the commonplace
and the vulgar and the banal, and to appreciate the splendor, the trag
edy, the majesty of humanity that is the achievement of a great soul!
Christianity is firmly committed to a fundamental faith in man. It
views man not at all with blind eyes. In the deepest, truest sense, we
may say that we dare not wait to love men until we know them. We
must love them in order to know them.
Grave Necessity for Reorganization of Govern
ment in United States
By DEAN WALTER J. SHEPARD, Ohio State University.
If democracy is to survive under the present complex industrial sys
tem, and America is to avoid falling back on a centralized dictatorship
as have several European countries, the government must be fundamen
tally reorganized along functional and group lines, rather than on geo
graphical lines. We are attempting to operate a Twentieth-century indus
trial system with an Eighteenth-century scheme of industrial control. Wc
have advanced by leaps and bounds in the field of industrial technique
and organization. We have lagged far behind in the necessary social and
political adjustments which such industrial transformation requires.

OLD FOLKS SAY §
DR. CALDWELL
j WAS RIGHT I
Tho basis of treating sickness has not
changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medical
College in 1875, nor since he placed on
the market the laxative prescription he
had used in his practice.
He treated constipation, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositions
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These are
still the basis of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, a combination of _ senna and
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa
tion, the safer for the child and for you.
And as you can get results in a mild
and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs?
A bottle will last several months, and
all can use it. It is pleasant to the
taste, gentle in action, and free from
narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal.
All drug stores have the generous bottles,
or write “Syfrup Pepsin,” Dept. 88,
Monticello, Illinois, for free trial bottle.

I. The Book of the Law Found (vv.
14-17).
1. The occasion (v. 14).
It was while restoring the temple
during Josiah’s reformation that the
Book of the Law was discovered. No
doubt, in clearing out the dark corners
to make repairs and to find a place
to store the subscriptions made by the
people, many things which had been
lost were found, among which was the
law. This was “the law of the Lord
given by Moses.”
2. The book delivered to the king
(vv. 15-17).
In a report of the work, the king
was informed of the finding of the
Book of the Law by Hilkiah, and the
book was delivered to him.
11. The Effect of the Reading of the
Law (vv. 18-2S).
Shaphan, the scribe, read the law
before the king.
1. The king rent his clothes (v. 19).
As the law was read before him,
the king was led to realize the awful
extent of the nation’s departure from
God. He knew that sin merited pun
ishment. The function of the law is
to reveal sin. The rending of the
royal robes indicated that tlie king
was penitent and sorrowful.
2. The king sent a deputation to
make inquiry of the Lord (vv. 20, 23).
The king included himself in guilt
before God. “Go inquire for me and
for them that are left—for great Is
the wrath of the Lord that is poured
out upon us.” His sense of sin was
so keen that he sent to inquire of the
Lord as to whether there was any
means of diverting the divine judg
ments. Instinctively, the human heart
turns from God’s threatening judg
ments to a means of escape. The
soul that sorrows for sin inquires for
a way of escape. The law prepared
for the gospel. The law is our school
master to bring us to Christ (Gal.
3:24).
3. The message of Huldah, the
prophetess (vv. 22-28).
(1) Confirmation of what the law
said (vv. 22-25).
She said that all the curses written
in the law must fall, for the sins had
been so flagrant that God’s wrath
could not be restrained. Destruction
was hanging over Jerusalem and it
was too late to avert it. It was not
too late, however, to repent and to ob
tain mercy from God, but the outward
consequences of sin must be realized.
Fulfillment of this is found on every
hand today. The murderer must hang.
(2) Acceptance of Josiah’s repent
ance (vv. 26-28).
Because of bis tenderness of heart
and deep penitence, the Lord said he
should be gathered to his grave in
peace and should not see all the evil
to be brought on Jerusalem and its
people. What Huldah said was true,
even though Josiah died In battle
(35:23-25). When God accepts a
man and forgives him, his death is a
peaceful one, even though it may be
on the battlefield. God’s presence is
with him, therefore he will go straight
from the battlefield to the heavenly
home.
111. The Law Obeyed (vv. 29-33).
1. The king read the law (vv. 29,
30).
He gathered together the Inhabit
ants of Jerusalem, including the
priests, Levites and eiders, and read
unto them the law.
2. The king made a covenant before
the Lord to keep His commandments
and testimonies (vv. 31, 32). In this
covenant he pledged himself to do
three things:
(1) To walk before the Lord (v. 31).
Tltis meant that he would get person
ally right with God.
(2) To keep God’s commandments,
i testimonies and statutes with all his
heart and soul (v. 31). To read the
law is not enough. Its holy require
ments must be obeyed.
(3) To perform the words of the
covenant, which were written in the
book (v. 31). This was done sincere
ly and he caused all that were pres
ent "to stand to it.”
. 3. Tlie king took away the abomina
tions out of all the countries which
pertained to Israel (v. 33). All the
days of the king they departed not
from following after the Lord, the
God of their fathers.
The Camel and the Rich Man
And Jesus looked round about, and
said unto his disciples, How hardly
shall they that have riches enter into
the kingdom of God ! It is easier for
a camel to go through the eye of a
needle, than for a ricli man to enter
iDtO ,Ile kingdom of God.—Mark 10:
23-20.
