'hings to be omitted and things to be done surpasses belief, an elaborate and colossal rifhal, The hair-splitting refinements were absurd in the last degree. That they could ever have been fooked upon seriously eems incredible. The chief ocCupation of the ecclesiastics of that dar' was the making of new ceremonies or explaining and eliforcing the vast "umber already in existence, The whole system was utterly useless. The; repairing it knew this, but their perpetuation. So they insincerely On others which they themselves would not touch. oi One so divinely foil of human sympathy as Jesus was could mot {00k upon such a condition with the least degree of complacency. He must: needs attack it. Being past reformation, nothing short of abolition sufficed. Che homely phrase, "Actions speak louder than words," indicated Jesus' nethod. Ina conspicuous manner, before a considerable number of people, | at the house of a Pharisee, he deliberately omitted one of the most vener- ited and frequently observed ceremonies, namely, the washing of hands sefore a meal. The omission created a sensation. There was an ominous nurmur rising to positive protest. It served Jesus for a text. He took the ery dishes on the table for illustration. What was the use of polishing the wutside of a cup or plate if filth was oft inside Ceremony was an external nutter like rubbing the exterior of a vessel. Ritual might be observed or ymitted--more honored in the breach, if it did not represent something eal in the person who observed it . : Génuine religion, on the ther hand. was essentially an mvard matter a right condition of the eart--righteousness, He who had that might do or omit the ceremonial. . The Master now proceeds to aint the portrait of the Pharisee vhose chief business is to maintain the system of ceremony. He is absurd- ly "busy about infinitesimal matters, such as the tithing of. garden herbs. vhile he passes by the essential matters which a correct judgment would nfallibly indicate. He is destitute of that which is all-inclusive, namely, a sineere love of God, ' The Master adds another stroke to the port- 'ait whef He describes the Pharisees vanity. He climbs to highest seats N Synagogue or prays at street corners. His dominating motive is to be seen and have praise of men. : Jesus gives Pharisaic ecclesiasticism ts death thrust that day. Then He w rites its epitaph in a single word--- "Hypocrisy." He begins the emancipation of the people from a galling yoke. But at the same time, by His reference to the long line of martyrs, He plainly indicates His consclousness of the price He must needs pay to set the people free. The shadow: of the cross fell on Jesus' path that day. | THE TEACHER'S LANTERN | Winston Churchill's "Inside the Cup" is a powerful, merciless arraign- | ment of present-day Pharisaism---a 11 uthful expose of its inutility and hypo- erisy . . At the same t me the book ig constructive---showing what the church should be doing in the way of social service. It even indi- cates a practical'outline of porced +. + . "The outside of the cup" in Jesus' discourse is the part which can be most readily seen. Concern for it is concern for appearance without reference to reality. It is care for the shadow and neglect of the substance. it is the substitution of the trivial for garden herbs in place of judgment, mercy, love and truth. ! . The genuineness of Je ' social 'disposition does not admit of question. He accepted all invitations. He adorned and beautified with his presence all the functions of home und society. We must believe that his downright and sincere moral carne:indss in this instance freed him from | the imputation of discourtesy to his host. In the original, his language w as | free from the harshness and contempt 'which appears in the translation | (i. e., "Tools"; literally, "thoughtless ones'). . . Religious ceremon- ial is like a ladder, Its approprialc use is to enable one to elimb to com- munion with God. The ceremonialist is one who just runs up and down the ladder. making show of his dexterity. It is an inane procedure. It feeds vanity, leads nowhe're, brings contenipt on religion. . . At super- ficial glance the words "Give alms and all things are clean," seem a poul- tice for a plutocrat. 'But the very reverse is true. It is as if Jesus said, | "Clean ail rapine from the cup, and put a ministering love in its place and system of 1t produced "all iy clean inside and out.
