II, CAVING ON NEIGHBOR, OR, La.'s 10 2537, TSI, Mal It8LIGI011 James 1: 27; 2r 1.4-17. 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 kn own. There e 1.. dif- ference Gf opinion regarding this am- 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.

James, commonly believed to have been the Lord's brother, hat wise a-.4 timely counsel to give to the professed -followers of Jesus.' He demands or them entire sincerity. If any u among you seem to be religious,". he says, "let him show it by becoming conduct, ;by patience, by enduralice, -y self-restraint, not •being double -iniad= ed, obedient to the perfect law of lib- erty."' Pure religi o and uiledis not in wods only, deeds—espe- 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 Matt. 7:ich ring all 26; Ran g5: ood.works, anCompare231.
