Religion

and Life

What do you think of the hypo- crite in religion? It is a safe mess that you wouldn't trust him in anything as far as you could see

im.

one of snyleachera told us cf a perfectionist who claimed he had not committed a sin for fourteen

ears. The professor added that

ditki't like to tell the man that he couldn't heueve him but made some inquiries about his ainless- ness. They said that he was the most dangerous man in the whole countryside to trade horses with. That sort of creature brings con- tempt not only on himself but on the body with which he associates. Yet we must never forget that "hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue" and that the per- sistence of a yr tense assures us of the reality of the genuine.

Men like the one just described try to fool others: much more dangerous is the man who fools himself. A noted preacher cnce sounded this warning: "we can humbug ourselves and any who believed them. humbug anyone else."

The word "hypocrite" as Jesus used it. meant "actor". As applied in the religious leaders of His time, it meant one who observed the forms of godliness but denied its power. They were men who. in their prayers and professions. said what they thought ought to be said. instead of voicing real devo- tion. They thought that they were in the right, but were deceiving themselves and any who believed them. Their modern counterparts are as dangerous as they.

A story in the book of Acts il- lustrate the dire consequences of pretended faith. (Acts 19: 13-10.)

Paul's ministry in Ephesus was carried on with a. spiritual energy that we call miraculous. and aur- prising effects answered his faith. some wandering exorcists tried to imitate' him. particularly the sons of a certain priest whom Luke names. They found a man pos- sessed by an evil spirit and tried to expel the demon by saying: "We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches." And the demoni- zed man turned on them with ex- clamation: "Jesus I know. and Paul I know. but who are you?" He overpowered them and drove them out naked and wounded. Peo- ple of that type in our time may not have suffered the wounds but have had the same humiliation.

On that story Dr. Charles CHI- key once commented: "There is nothing but failure for those who repeat a borrowed formula in- stead of reporting a personal ex- perience. Religion is communi-

ferable by exchange or .bequcst. You may catch it. but you cannot borrow it. and only in a partial sense can you bequeath or inherit it. Vital religion is always auto- biographical and uses the first

use the first person and the pre- sent tense and say: "I adjure you by the Jesus who saved me,' can dispel the discouragement of the present h ." .

He added words to this effect: The pathway to first-hand reli- gion is never around your doubts but through them. Don't borrow anything: above all. don't borrow your doubts. You never find a solution to borrowed doubts. al- though you may find solutions to your own. And don't borrow your solutions.

Jesus' call is always to personal experience. The call to His first followers was. "Come and see." With these wonis. Andrew brought Peter to Jesus and Philip brought Nathanael. These personal work- ers first testified that in Jesus they themselves had found the Messiah-"on Jewish lips the most comprehensive of all Eurskas." It is only the person who has found in Christ satisfaction of his own needs and ionglngs who can lead others into personal contact with Him. Here the order is, first, faith based on the testimony of others, then experience. and then fruit- fulriess.

Here is a church with its heri- tage from the past of truth, moral standards and ideals of service. so -far this is all second-hand; what

lieve. In so far as it is only second- hand it is impotent. But if the testimony of the fathers lead: their children to seek Christ for themselves. and by personal fa.ith in the personal saviour, enter into vital union with Him. then that church becomes a vitllising power to be used of God to lead others to Him.

The same law governs the life of the individual. Letters received from some who read this column tell of Christ coming as a life- giving power into the writers' lives. When He comes as a personal pre- ssnce and factor. He brings His peace with Him. He gives the soul mastery over situations often cruel and distressing. and makes the person who lives in Him an in- fluence for God in the hearts of his or her friends. But it is only this first-hand knowledge of God and His love that can make us His agents in saving men. Jesus” own word is "Come and see."

He will reveal Himself to the heart that responds and claim him for His own purposes.

Takes Sharp llap Al Queen's Ouilii

, LONDON. July 9 - (AP) -The Sunday Pictorial, a mass-circula- lion weekly newspaper, today takes . ghgrp gap at Queen Elizabaths most recent outfit.

The paper says the ensemble which t e Queen were at the wed- ding of her godson. Dlvid somer- set. and Lady Caroline Thynne July 5 was "particularly unfortun- ate because the Queen has proved, on so many occasions how serenely lovely she can look."

The outfit it criticises II a black-edged flowered dress with matching cape, wide-brimmed bat. long ”"'Iee'rM"mf3o ”'i'.'&asie shoes. A I0 . A with fashion experts. the Pictorial lists these specific objections:

"This pattern of dress would be better on hirnlshlnl fabric. skimpy cape is both broadening and shortening. The dark edsins makes the dress look like a dress- ing gown with the sash undone. The gloves are too heavy looking and add unnecessary bulk tot-hi figure. Peeksboo slices have been lnelegant for two years. All in All a misguided effort that will not enhance our growing reputation as s fashion-conscious nation."

LUSTY APPETITES

Mrs. Jones. who thinks her job of feeding John aged lit years and David agedd monthsverydifficult, should be thankful she is not obliged to keep a. family of young Wrens. Their parents have been known to make 116 trips to the nest. bringing food, in 7 hours. Foraging is hard for a parent White-crowned Sparrow, because those young birds are fed tiny seeds, or for a Downy Woodpecker trying to satisfy its offspring with diminutive insects. A I-leron family may consume from 12 to 15 gophers in a day. Kingfisher parents must do a lot of fishing. for each of the 6 or 8 nestllngs demolishes a whole fish at a gulp. This inten- s,ive feeding ordinarily lasts only from ten days to three weeks, but young l3ald..Ea.gIes remain at home from two to three months,

As with human babies. food is necessary for growth. The nestlings of some species eat their own weight daily. This is true of Red- winged Blackbirds. Observers do not agree as to the order in which nestlings are fed. It seems evident that the strong ones eat most, and become still stronger and bigger. while the weak brother or sister gradually starvcs. The most per- sistent in opening its mouth is given the meal first. some bird say the parents simply feed the baby most easily reached. others are confident that there is a sys- tem. They say that the parents touch the back of the children's throats (perhaps a gland), thus forcing them to swallow.

At any rate, you may see for yourself that generally little birds seem somehow to know when the meal is on its way, and open their mouths in readiness. The Meadow- lark warns ahead by giving a food call when returning. If young birds are asleep when dinner comes. the parent stands looking bewildered. as though uncertain what to do with it. We wonder how Gannets recognize their own children. be- cause they nest on large colonies, the families squeezed together.

some birds have bills that are too long to poke down a baby's throat without injuring it. Then the feeding must be done differ- ently. If the baby hangs on tight to the parent's bill it must be hungry, and is fed by regurgitat- ion. Mouming Doves are fed in an odd manner, The little ones cling one on each side of the parent's mouth and suck out the food known as "pigeon milk". Mrs. Hummingbird inserts the tip of her tongue in the tiny throat and squirts in the meal.
