INTROAUcame't--The law of human
kindness appears in the Old Testament
as well as in the New. It is implied
in the lave against affiictilig in any.
way a widowor an onetime and in the
prohibition of usury, Exod. 22: 1
Kindness even to an enemy is enjoin-
ed in the oldest laws, ch, 23: 4, 5, The
I w of lnve • to a neighbor ex.tl:ds also
to the stranger, Lev. 19:1.8, 34. The
fundamental virtues in the teaching.
of the ,irophets were truth and mercy
(or kindness) and the knowledge of
God; Hosea 4: 1; 6: 6; Micah 6: 8.
Job remembers in his affliction that
he has been kind to the poor and the
fatherless; ch. 29: 12, 18. The wise
nian in Proverbs says:
"Whose stoppeth his ears at the cry
of the poor,
He also shall cry himself, but shall
not be heard."
It is the glory of Israel's .ideal king
that:
"He shall judge the poor of the people,
he shall save tbe children of the
needy,
For he shall when
he crieth;dthe poor alsoeliver. the , and him
that hath no helper."—Ps. 72: 4,
12.
In his beatitudes oar Lord Moes not
forget the merciful, Matt. 5: 7. Paul
prays the Lords mercy upon one who
was very kind to hiin when he was a
prisoner in Rome, and when he had
been in need of help in Ephesus, 2
Tim, 1: 16-18. Such 'a labor of love
God does not forget, Heb. 6: 10.
1. MINISTERING TO I3U1iAN NEED, Matt.
25: 31-46.
In many passages of the gospels,
Jesus seems clearly to be lookit.g for
his coming in great power and glory,
and all the forces of heaven -„-ith him,
to set up his kingdom in the world.
Whether he is using in these passages
the lang-1age of apocalyptic vision in
its literal sense (comp: vs Dan. 7: 13) ,
or figuratively of the triumph of his.
spirit in the reminds and hearts of men,
is not i
ntY

ference

ong readers of the New Testament.'
The all-important thing to look, :sr,
whatever form it might take, woula
surely be the triumph of the spirit in
the minds and hearts of men,, of
is n
certainly known. Tiler is difference
of opinion regarding this among reacl-
ers of the New Testament. The all,
important thing to look for, whatever
form it 'might take, would surely be
the triumph of his spirit and the
transforming of the minds of men
no
his likeness (see Philip 2: 5). Inthat
sense may we not still cherish the
hope that he shall et sit upon the
throne of his. glory, and that before
hills shall be gathered all nations?
'has a matter of fact, wherever the
name of .i esus is named and his gospel
proclaimed, that judgment is already
taking place and Hier are being di-
vided. Judgment is troth a ..present
feet and an expectation of the future,
Jelin 3: 18.27..• In the parable of our
lesson Jesus makes clear what shall.
be the decisive' factors hi -judgment.
They who receive the invitation, Come
ye blessed of my Fat:nerinherit the
kingdom, are those men and evoiuen
who have practieed-. kindness :toward
those who were in need, the hungry,.
the thirsty, the stranger, the naked,
'the sick,' the prisoner. Even' hough
they knew not that it was the Lord
they rgerved,in •:doin this they.are ani
ong the: clessed. The unkind and un-
merciful are the condemned. ' Jesus
identifies himself with human need. A

James, commonly believed to have

timely counsel to give to the professed
-followers of Jesus.' He demands or
them entire sincerity. If any u

says, "let him show it by becoming

self-restraint, not •being double -iniad=

cially in deeds of kindness toward the
poor and the afflicted. With the last
clause o" verse 2'1 compare Rom -12:
2 and 1 John 5: 18.
So also faith, ifit be real and living,
deola res itself in Christlike deeds.
Faith, if. it hath not woeks, is dead,
being alone.. Stele faith is :a mere pro-
fession without .reality. The faith by
which men are saved, according to the
teaching of Paul, is quite different. It
is a vital' relationship. of trust and
obedience .to God as he is revealed, in
Jesus - Christ, an experience out : of
