Our Christian task is to help "every race to realize its highest possibilities. In the Coasts of Decapolis, 31-37 Having shown the value of child­ hood and womanhood apart from na­ tionality, our lesson next tells of Je­ sus setting forth the value of man­ hood, apart from race or class. He came through the coasts of Decapo­ lis still outside his own country. They brought to him a man who was deaf, and who had an impediment in his .speech. All his days he been laughed at by the children smart-alecs of his community cause of his stuttering speech, could not hear the voices ef friends, nor the music of running waters, nor the wind whistling thro’ the trees. He was living a partial life and Jesus sought to help him to live an abundant life. Jesus put his fingers into the deaf man’s ears touched his tongue, and with a word of prayer said, "Be open.” It was significant that Jesus rendered this service to a man who was handicap­ ped and to a man who was not a Jew.

To get rest from con-j troversy and to have quiet that he J might teach his disciples, Jesus' went into the borders of Tyre and] Sidon, thirty-five miles from Caper- j naum. He deiberately left his own land in order that he might have seclusion, and he entered into a house hoping for rest and quiet. But he could not hide. Human need found him out. In the history of the Christian era there have been many attempts to hide Jesus. Some < have sought to conceal him with compliments, others with criticisms. • Sometimes the church has hidden him with ritual and form; at other times has dimmed that view by con­ troversy. But he is the. inescapable Christ. He always emerges with more truth for men to know and greater service for them to render. A Greek Woman’s Request, 25, 26 The disciples had the customary attitude of Jews towards Gentiles. They were superior- and exclusive. Doubtless they thought tha,t it was Roman Empire, impertinent fox- this Syrophenician | arguments about it woman to come with her request to ( compatriots, but he Jesus. What claim had a Greek wo- his conviction that man upon a Jewish teacher? But Je.' sus did not think of her as a Greek.' He saw her only as a mother con-. cerned for the ljfe of her child. Bar. riers of nationality are trivial com­ pared to the universal needs of hu­ manity. In this incident with the Syro-phenician family, Jesus gave bis disciples a new attitude towards childhood and a new attitude to­ wards womanhood. It was in the light of his example that Paul could later write, "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free.” This lesson of the oneness of mankind and the universality of Christ’s gos­ pel has been none too well learned even yet. Many Britishers coolly as­ sume a superority ovex- other races. Many white people think they are God’s elect. |.Many Christians are glad to have, the gospel fox’ them­ selves, but see no reason why it should be given to those of bro^n, yellow or black complexions. The The Kingdom of God. ideal which Jesus taught is for all. We are all subject to the one King and all fel­ low citizens in the one Kingdom. Healing a Race Feud, 27-30 These words need to, be read with imagination and sympathetic under­ standing. On the surface the words appeal- hard and. the attitude less than gentle, but the words in the Greek convey a. different impression and we must tliink' of Jesus as speaking them with a playful smile upon his lips. It was the custom of the Jews to speak of the Gentiles as “dogs” and Jesus used this term in testing the faith of the Greek wo­ man. His words were probably In­ tended as much fox- his disciples as fox- the woman. He said it was hot fitting to take the children’s bread ; and to cast it to the dogs. The wo­ man readily met his playful humor , for all. In Christ ____ ____ neither Jew nor Greek, Barbarian Scythian, bond or free. This was no new discovery on the part of Paul. Jesus taught this and acted in the light of his teaching. through Samaria, and .taught Samaritians. an the hero of one of his most beautiful parables. He welcomed the Greeks who came to see him He healed the daughter of the Greek woman and gave speech and hearing to a Geiitile man in Decapolis. The Gentiles were to be his inheritance Jesus said, "Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; then al­ so I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be fold, and one shepherd,” To must be given credit for taking tical steps to fulfil this world wide religion, but of the universality of the in the inclusive love of men and women and every race.

The milk was divided at night and each man received one gallon as his share. Soon the neighbors far and near heard about the wonderful cow and said to one another, "Think of get­ ting a whole gallon of milk every day. What a wonderful return on a ten-dollhr investment. I wish I had a share in her.” When this talk was repeated to the ten men, they held a meeting and one of them said, "Let us give these peo-ple what they want. Our shares in the cow cost us ten dollars each, and we can sell other shares} at the same price.” So they went to a printer and ob­ tained one thousands sheets of paper bearing the legend: "One share in the cow.” these shares at $10 brought them $5,0'00 the other >500 among their reward of being Each man of the shares, whereas in each had but one. But one of them "Look here,” he said, "Every fel­ low who bought a share in this cow will expect a gallon of milk to-night and the cow gives When the milk is thousand and ten shareholders won’t Shares will drop to nothing, better unload w*hile we can.” So the ten men went out on the street to find investors and each of them sold the fifty shares that had been awarded to him, and thus they obtained a second $>5,000 to divide among them. But now night was drawing near and again one of them began to worry. "There will be a row at milking1 time,” said he. "Hasten abroad and persuade each of the shareholders to- sign a proxy, which is a joker authorizing you to cast as you think best the vote to which his-share en­ titles him. Then return with proxies and we shall do some ing.” i At twilight the men met at barn and in their hands were a 1,000 signed proxies to represent the absent shareholders. And the ten were en­ titled to vote in their own right, fox- each still held his original share. "Now,” said the one who did the talking, “We must organize. This company needs a president, a treas­ urer and eight vice-presidents. That gives each of us a job. And since there are ten of us and the cow gives ten gallons, it is moved and seconded that each of us receive a salary of one gallon ot milk per day. All in -favor say ‘Aye’ ”. The motion carried -without a dissenting vote. And then they milked the cow.

We regret that space forbids our printing his address in full. "We face unprecedented conditions, which would not have been imagined a few years ago and which have created widespread doubt, not only as to the soundness, but even -as to the stability of our economic system.” "One of the insistent demands of the day is the re-establish­ ment of sound principles and sound business methods in every line.” "Assurance is needed that errors of the past will not be re­ peated.” "In the days of prosperity we were careless of the qualifica­ tions of many of those who were entrusted with positions of impor­ tance and power and gave them oux- confidence too readily.” “The appearance of success was enough to establish leadership and to attract large numbers of followers.” "We closed our minds to the necessity of making progress slow­ ly and of building sound foundations.” "It is now generally recognized that the lack of complete • disclosure of the results of business operations contributed to the inflation of security values which preceded' the panic of 1929.” “The public, today, insists upon more complete and accurate financial statements from publicly owned companies.” “We all realize that company financial statements must be more complete and more accurate.” "The best assurance of accurate statements lies in the com­ petence and independence of the accountants.” "If we wish really to prevent the distribution of unsound se­ curities, we should strike at the root of the matter and prevent the issuance of such securities instead of merely preventing theii- sale after they have been issued.” "Thrift and private investment are an imperative need now and for the future, and they must be safeguarded.” MR.
