of religion mark 7113 golden text this people honor- cth me with their lips but then- heart is far from me mark 7 the lesson in its setting time ad 29 place capernaum 1 and there are gathered together unto him the pharisees and certain of the scribes who had come from jerusalem the reason mark does not say certain of the pharisees and of the setibes but only cer tain of ihe scribes if raot probably because these scribes were especially selected for their learning to match that of jesus the pharisees form ed the jewish sect or party which laid utmost stress on the strictest outward observance of the law they were utterly selfrighteous and cul tivated a hollow formalism that was ostentatious to a degree especially in observing ceremonies fastings etc jesus exposes them as arrant hypocrites the scribes were the pro fessional students of the law old testament the present delegation was sent up from the capital to spy upon jesus to discredit him with the peo ple and to find cause for legal ac tion against him ceremonial cleanliness 2 and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with defiled that is unwashen hands it will be noticed that in the margin of the revised version the word here trans lated defiled is there translated common the pharisees did not seel by these washings to remove dirt but the defilement by contact with profane things 3 for the pharisees and all the jews except they wash their hands diligently tat not washings are frequently referred to in ihe old testament especially in the regula tions regarding ceremonial cleanli ness holding the tradition of the elders the ciders were the leading jewish teachers who expounded the law and applied its precepts to actual life according to their views the law of moses was a system of pre cepts which surrounded the whole of mans life and enveloped each part of human existence in its embrace every action was thus looked on as legal or illegal 4 and when they come from the marketplace except they bathe them selves they oat not because jews would neeesarily have to mingle with gentiles in such public places a the markets and many other things there arc which they have received to hold washings of cups and pots and brazen vessels 5 and the pharisees and the scribes sk him why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders but eat their bread with defiled iands these men leave the disciples alone they hold jesus re sponsible hence thy disciples they who follow thy teaching and thy spir it these men are keen they see that this one act of the disciples real ly sets aside the entire tradition of the elders hypocrisy exposed c and he said unto them hardly anywhere else in the gospels is the absolute preeminence of the lord jesus christ as a teacher so clearly revealed as here in the few short sentences which now drop from his lips our lord pierces the shell of all this outer formalism and reveals a deadening hypocrisy in the depths of the v jewish heart our lord here smashes to pieces forever the whole humanly constructed system of the wooilen traditions of men giving back to true living deep religious life the preeminent place original ly given to it by god well did isa iah phophesy of you hypocrites all of us lave to watch ourselves con tinually as disciples of the lord je sus christ that by words or gifts or actions we do not become ourselves guilty of hypocrisy as it is written this people hoiioreth me with their lips but their heart is far from me 7 but in vain do they worship me teaching as their doctrines the pre cepts of men s ye leave the com mandment of god and hold fast the tradition of men such an indict ment as this can be applied only to religious people the jews were re ligious by teaching and preaching by saying prayers out loud in the synagogues by joining in the songs to jehovah they were pretending to honor god with their lips while they worshipped god they did not obey the law of god 9 and he said unto them full well do ye reject the commandment of god that ye may keep your tra dition directly a precept made for e j fisher r o eyesight specialist 575 danforth ave toronto between pape carlaw south side specializing in difficult eye prob lems scientific diagnosis satis faction assured moderate price an occasion becomes a binding tra dition to he subsequently obeyed it is evil the first movement toward the mastery of the soul by tradition is the movement of that soul away from immediate direct firsthand fellowship with god we should apply this teaching of our lord to our present day and be fore condemning these pharisees too severely we should be sure that we ourselves are not somewhat guilty of the some blind worship of human tradition how many things today in our churches are not commanded by the word of god what our loid was getting at was that the phari sees made these more or less artifi cial rules to be absolutely authorita tive and gave them an importance greater than the importance of the word of god now there may be many things in our churches today which the word of god does not ora- mend the lord now proceeds to give these men a powerful illustration of what he is talking about showing them how from their own mean tricks they are guilty of dishonoring the law of god pretending to be true to the tradition of the elders 10 for moses said honor thy fa ther and thy mother and he that speaketh evil of father or mother let him die the death of course the re ference here is first to the fifth com mandment 11 but ye say if a man shall say to his father or his mother that wherewith thou mightest have been profited by me is corban that is to say given to god 12 ye no longer suffer him to do aught for his father or his mother 13 making void the word of god by your tradition which ye have delivered and many such like things ye do the word corban is a hebrew word which means fundamentally dedicated ie dedicated to god when once a jew had dedicated any possession of his any piece of property or any money to god calling out the word corban over this particular object that money or property or object could never be used except in some religious way the vow of dedication could never be broken what our lord is saying here is that some jews would be so mean that when a hour came when their parents were in need and they had the means to help their parents rather than give them out of their sufficiency they would pronounce corban over these very things which they could have used to help their parents that the case with the fifth commandment is only a single illustration jesus declares by adding that the pharisees keep do ing many things that rob the divine word of its authority for the conscience thus these men who imagined they had a case against je sus not only have their answer a complete vindication of jesus and his disciples but have an indictment launched against themselves one for tified by absolute proof against which no defense is possible on their part gets money back by stomach pump dog who swallowed fivedollar bill is persuaded to give it up tile current issue of the royal bank magazine contains this story told by e s highstead tho first teller at stratford out was faced with a very grave situation on the morning of january 4th to start the year off right when a lady of rather small stature and woebegone expression presented him with the altered centre portion of a royal five dollar bill and asked what could be done about it devoured end pieces after a few questions the lady divulged that the family dog in a playful mood had devoured the two end pieces containing the serial num bers the teller expressed his condol ences as best be could and promised to write head office as per rule 72c but the lady was not content with this and you can imagine the tellers amazement when she arrived smiling ly the next day before his cage with the missing pieces wrapped up in a paper towel the story rushes to a

the truth about your character by lawrence hibbert psychologist characteranalyst and lecturer in deciding on marriage should a girl choose security without glamour or should she marry a man who will give her real companionship but who is somewhat lacking in steadiness this interesting topic is suggested by one of the letters i received this week the girls writing shows that she is very reserved she is capable of much real affection but she is not effusive when she meets people there is nothing impulsive about her she considers matters carefully weighs the pros and cons before coming to a decision once she makes up her mind she wont be in a hurry to change it in sending me letters from her boy friends she says please tell me what you think of these two friends both of whom seem very fond of me i have my own ideas about them but should like to check with your con clusions i am particularly anxious to know as it is possible i may have to choose between them shortly mr as writing shows a volatile nature a little highlystrung and very expressive emotions unfortunately his enthusiasms are not lasting they are like summer storms that sweep up in an instant lash for a brief per iod and then disappear he will be good company but a none-too- sturdy tree to shelter beneath when trouble brews mr bs writing depicts a man who is solid and dependable but unimag inative his energy is constant not a matter of fits and starts he pur sues his tasks quietly but firmly and whilst other men may surpass him in brilliance he will win races in the game of life because he always has something in reserve for the final pull there you have a picture of all three if the girl marries mr b she need have no fears for her future security but she will hardly have the companionship that mr

mechanic are response ible for most of the accidents inj this human chain the pilot is obvl- ously the supremely important link when we consider in this light the recent accidents in which aerial pas sengers have lost their lives the pro posal for a more intensive physical examination of pilots made in science by c k ferrce and g rami should commend itself to airline companies the utmost care is taken in selecting the men who are to manage a plane in llight but this is not enough if planes are inspected before each llight why not their pilots a ten- minute instrumental test is enough to

found that annual or semiannual exam inations are not enough and that a smart medico to keep the pilots under daily observations was need ed these flight surgeons paid off in reducing airplane crashes
