* WHIG. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1920. ne.Social Message. of Jesus By 8, J. DUNCAN-CLARK (Chicago Hvening Post.) Never did the world need more than now to hear the authoritative voice of Jesus. If we are to bring order out of chaos, peace out of conflict, brother- hood out of clash of class and group, we must return in humble spirit to od the Bethlehem manger, to the Nazareth shop, to the market place, the | ggpashore or the mountainside, where the message of Jesus was spoken to thé hearts of men. Jesus believed in man. It is well to emphasize this fact in an age of cynicism. There was no room for degpalr in His philosophy. He came ipto a world where force and fraud «hd oppression prevailed, and to the hour of His triumphant death He never doubted that love and justice and freedom were possible in human relations, / Jesus believed in man as a pofential Son of God. His ideal for society dontemplated the emancipation of man from the control of material things. Mammon should not rule ; there should be no occasion for anxious thought RB cernivg any need of the body ; the spiritual nature of man should be €e to realize its highest destiny. ' : In the programme that He worked out ag He toiled at the bench He planned that service should be the motive and co-operation the method in Human industry. We have substituted self-advantage for service, and mutual exploitation for co-operation. While these rule in motive and method we shall nevér realize the happiness He desired for us--the happi- ubss we seek. ' x Jesus set small store by charity. The philanthropy of almsgiving 'was to Him a mere cloak for the imperfection and inequities of human rela- tions. He put all the emphasis of His teaching and example upon justice and love. In a world where these prevailed charity would be unnecessary. We have travelled so far from the ideals of Jesus it is not easy to restore them. But there is no other way to find a permanent solution for the troubles that disturb us. His road is the only road. It involves sacri- fice. We cannot avoid the cross. But beyond Calvary lies the realization of our hopes, It is not enough that the spirit of Jesus should bg worshiped in our temples or revered in our homes. It is not enough that His sympathy and help should be expressed in our hospitals, our orphanages, our institutions for the poor and the afflicted. To be satisfied with this is to evade the fal challenge of His message and to lose the real meaning of His promise. The spirit of Jesus must be brought into factory and mine and bank and railroad system ; into store and office. It must reveal to us that man is more than the machine with which he works ; that material wealth was meant to be the servant, not the master, of the human soul ; thatthe making of a life is the supreme thing, for which the making of a livelihood is merely incidental. Until we get this vision, we will approach the solution of our prob- lems without true understanding. It is time that men who believe in Jesus should make their faith coynt--not merely in religious observance, but in human relations; in civic duty ; in business ; in industrial management ; in the tasks of office and workshop. The hope of the world rests upon the leadership of Jesus. ~~ CHILDREN'S BOOKLAND What Those From Five to Eighteen ing written stories for children. * Neither the authors nor the books that amuse the young people ever re- | the book, SL. 4-w here | t idea we have on paper and.

In 4he rush and roar of the world's business' the spare time which we may have to devote to books is near- ly always given over to interviews with printed friends of our own sphere and comments upon them. We are too apt to neglect a review of the books for the younger generation. What book review magazine or book [review page devotes a regular space "to the books of the children? Once in a great while we find one or two short sketches of some child's series or reference to some author as hav- ceive their due. There have been au- thors of child stories who have ach- ieved some little fame, but it was only after they had spent almost a life's work on the subject, and in- deed, very seldom was the recogni- tion forth-coming. during the life of the author. Truly, if any writers re- ceived public applause for their work, those who write stories for the young folks should!

How parents know 'the exact con- he books their children are reading? The title shows that it is a story for young people, and, in nine cases out of ten, the older folks will glance at the title, conclude that it is merely a harmless story and let it go into the hands of the children unchal- lenged. This is as grave a mistake as children. There are, regrettably, wri- ters or scribblers in the world who will choose dangerous topics for the of curiosity and ignorance of what they read, they will develop the de- sire to read more of the same stuff. and so-called "advanced" ideas who fil] the minds of the children with all sorts of tommyrot which should not and women of a healthy and progres- sive nation. Fortunately these kinds of writers are in the minority. ° The best kind, and the most nume- rous, thank God, are the old-fashion- ed writers of children's tales who, choosing some great hero or world figure of the past, pick out his fine characteristics and build little amus- ing and interesting tales around them, setting these fine models up as examples for the children of the pre- sent. Of these there will never be enough, because the inducements of- fered are not sufficiently attractive to draw many foto the occupation. * Anderson's Fairy Tales, Palmer Cox's Brownie Books, Robinson Cru- soe, Swiss Family Robinson, Horatio Alger's stories, the Elsie Books, Tales of Ancient Greece, King Arthur 'and His Knights, Alexander the Great, Jack the Giant-Killer, and hundreds more have been for a long time the property of the children. How many of us have not read at least half of those named? Can we not now tell the stories without hesitation, per- haps in some cases without changing the wording? That only shows what an impression the books read by the ies, how they influence their lives later on and what a really important feature of the up-bringing of child- ren they are as a result.
