REV, JAMES REDDOCH ST. ANDR.EW'
Jesus ...said, '''A;11. things'
whatsoever ye .would that
Men Should do to you, do ye
even so to.thein ; for this is the
law and .the prophets.'",
( Matthew. Chapter 7 v. 120•
This. saying: of Jesus is•often
called- ' 'The Golden, Rule'. '
Jesus.: sums up . in a single
sr.'kftence everything that can
be Said about, conduct'and the,
true way. 'to, live. . The
Pharisees believed the
highest standard of conduct '
to be perfect obedience to the
law.. It wastheir one aim in.
life ` to keep the law. They
read the books of the
Prophets as giving them a
glimpse'.into the purposes .of
God.
Yet •Jesus. is 'here saying
that:the cvhole•mean.ing•of the
law ' and the Prophets is
suinme.d up in .the warns, 'All
things whatsoever ye would
that men should do to you, do
ye even set() them'.
Other people had said what
appears atfirst glance, -to be
something similar. For
example Confusius who lived
hundreds "of years 'before
Jesus, •had said, `What .1 do
not wish others to do to me, I
also wish not• to do to them'.
The great:Jewish Rabbi I-Iillel
had said., 'Do net to otherds
what you would not have
them do to you'.
There was also a Greek
saying, 'If anything would
make you angry if : it were
done to you,. don't do it to
anyone -else'`- —
All these sayings which
seem so very similar, to the
Gol:den'Rule have a-po•int in
cor7imon;. Put yourselfin the
other,pers'bns place. -
But there is a difference,;.
and . it •`s a' profound dif-
ference! •These other sayings
snake it'a negative principle.
A test of what not to do.
Jesus alone makes it a
positive principle of conduct
"All things whatsoever ye
wouldthat•men should do. to
y.au, dei ye even so to ahem''.
,Jesus does not Say ?'Don't but
"1)o". Goodness does not lie
in prohibitions but sin per-
formance.;•
This: isiltustrated again and
,again in the teaching,of Jesus
when He reproves people not
r for 'doing something whong -
but for doing nothing good:'
The Priest and the Levite in
the parable, of the "'Good
' Samaritan'.diil no harm to the
man. who ' fell among 'the
thieves. They . were not
responsible for his condition.
• But: they didn't ' help • :him.
They passed by on the other
• side. ... . , ..
In another parable which
Jesus told . a man .finds
himself in torment hereafter
not for anything he had done
but because he had don(
nothing for the man in need a
his very gate.
In the parable Jesus told of
the 'Last Judgment' it.is the
things .which people failed to
do which placed them on the
left hand rather than ' the
right: `I was hungry and ye
'gave me no meat, thirstyand
ye gave me no drink...'
The critical question is not;
has a person done any harm -
but have they done any good!
The 'Thou shalt not' of -the
--aid starneht•gives=plarec
the 'This do and thou shalt
live' of Jesus. •
Jesus not only gave' the
Golden Riffle butgave.also the
Golden Pattern • for. us ,„tofollow.. Peter declares how
God annoizited •.'Jesus 'of
Nazareth with the Holy Ghost
BAYF] ELL)•
and with power; who went
• abQUt doing good. He. did not
philosophize 'about goodness,
' ar think about it in any .ab-
stract: way, but went about
doing good. • -
1VIay we .feel _challenged! t1
'tallow in His steps for -only as
we -are -inspired by His Spirit
and takin.g '.'Him ' as •our.

The time has come when
the Presbyterian Church of
Canada must reconsider the
matter of church: union, the
Rev.' p.L RO-5ral•-•=t at the.
conclusion ofhis sermon in..
Knox'C'hurch last Sun'dayi .
I-thiflk-we are x oving:into
a 'tirne of :assess:ment," he.
said, "I believe ' we: 'are,',
corning into a time .when .we*
must consider once agate tkla
matter of Church : union, : '.I
believe that; this. matter" of °:
denominationalism is ai .
insult thrown in the face of,
the Lord, and the :time has,
come when we must consider,
and re -ponder. a matter i:of
such. gigantic proportions:
"I know the danger that
underlies such a proposition.
I know my own conviction as
a Presbyterian':I know,that it
has. been •my. desire, since L'.
was born a • Presbyterian I
would dieone; but after a
terrible confliet o' spirit and
wrestling,. of mind over
matter I' feel the day has
conle when we must recon-
sider our position in regard to
our • brethren. '
"I rememberhow sad I was
when I. saw in.thg paper that
•the. United and, -Anglican
•people had cut off all comings
and doings: Manhas Won
another' victory, and do.vvned.
Oise Lord again.. I believe.we
have gilt into: a hostile, an-
tti.gonis,tic:,- ' unharmoniaus
kind of discussion: We have
to sit down one with the other
and ask 'What have we got?
:What are we doing? Where
are we ..going?' I believe we
Presbyerians must give an -
important meaning. to this
question: 'What :- are we
doing?'-"
