We Are Going On Exactly the Same Way as Our
Fathers of Old.
• And they all with one con
sent begun to make excuse. -
Luke xiv., 18. ,
ere,. sse human nature if there
is any sueh collective reality hi the
'world! ' We are all of us good at
making excuses, even though we
are good at nothing else. This One
thing at least we do! Is it a lapse
of memory -a failure to keep an
engagernent,-,a yielding to tempta-
tion -an open sin?se s
Our excu i
ready upon the instant. 1 We are
'quick to forgive ourselves, even
`though nobody else is in agreement
with us. -Aud this applies not
merely to -the weaknesses and of-
fences of our lives, but to the .whole
problem Of our relation to society
at large. Does an eager idealist
begin to talk about the abolition of
Child labor, the equalization of tax-
ation, the establishment of inter-
national peace, the conq,uest of
poverty, the extension of demo-
cracy into the field of incluetry, the
universalization of good will, the
bringing in -of the kingdom of' God
upon the earth? 'Then immedia,te-
ly with one eoneent, like the people
invited to the- great feast in the
paakreanb,le from which our text is
t
We All Begin "To Make Excuse,"
as to why these things cannot be
done. From the vereabeginning of
'human society men have had no
difficulty en finding innumerable
excusee for not making the world
'better than it is. Never has there
been aaj) trouble in explaining and
justifying inaction in the face of
evil, injustice and oppression.
Every abomination ever fought and
destroyed in the past by valiant
and heroic champions of the, right
San been excused a thousand times
by the eulture and respectability,
as well as by the ignorance and
maliee, of its age. Like our fathers
of old, we are still making excuses,
with one comet -it," for not doing
with all our hearts the will of 'Cllod
That all suet! excuse Malang' as -
this av ails nothing is perhaps ma
parent, but it may out beet° aPPel-
rent that this excuse making is also
devoid of all merit. The truth of
the matter is well expressed in the
old proverb that he who -e'1C11.6(18
111111Self accuses himself? To make
an excuse is at the same time to
make it confession that one has not,
done',..or tried to do, what he it
conscious that he ought to have
done, or at least have tried to do
• "It is surrender at the outset ef
• one's whole case for virtue, The -e
really virtuous man never hart to
make excuse of any kind. If he
finds weakness Or sin within him-
self he straightway tries to e00
tiner,t.hA3 One and banish the other.
If he sees an evil flourishing in the
w43.1dIfe Tries To Destroy It,
and if he discovers aim° latent
good he seeks to foster and uphold
it. If there is some great reform
,which he knows must be achieved
if society is io endure he can think
of no better time for each achieve-
ment than the present ttnd thus he
gives himself at once and gladly to
the cause. Never is he concerned
with conditione, or probebilibies, or
expediences. Always does he seek
simply the right and do it with til
his might. Excuses for inaction,
acquiescence, surrender have no
pstlanic.e,,in his scheme or life. Even
but, "though defeated, battles
when he fails he makes no excuse,
Excuses are a poor salestitute for
virtue, Indeed, they have no share
in virtue at all! The making of
eke:lees must be counted in the last
analysis as one of our many sins.
Not those who tell, however plausi-
bly, why they have not tried, but
tlaose who try, for better or for
worse, and fail as gladly as they
win, are the chosen ones of earth.
