SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Religion in Capsule Form Bequest of Prophet Micah -t', Like Jesus, Old Hebrew Prophet PuK ji Profoundest Truth Into Portable Phrase Portrayed People's Plight By WILLIAM T. HUI. REEDS are out of favor nowa- -M AV1 I Bays. ncvnincwMt mw P- sons seek a simple, portable definition of religion.

Our genera tion is not theologically minded, although it ia Cod-conscious. We want the -essence of truth -in plain words, easily to be under- stood. An elaboration of rules of conduct, labelled confuses the average man or woman. received a letter last week from a troubled reader who. had been told that, to be a Christian, she must avoid the movies, and Sunday rides, and a specified list of amusements.

She wants to do right, but is disturbed by all these proscriptions which a religious teacher had laid upon her. Myriads of sincere and earnest souls are similarly perplexed. I Fortunately, from both the Old and New Testaments, We havi definitions of religion in capsule form, easily understood by anybody; and making clear that "the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth -Our lesson today is a-study of Micah, who- wrote the most familiar and popular definition of Old Testament religion: doth the Lord require of thee, but to do Justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy Cod." In other words, but to the same purport. Jesus said, "Thou shalt love the Lard thy -Cod with all thy heart and thy neighbor as thy self. i Playing on the same note.

Really, though, it all means the same thing as the simpler, plainer words of the Bible. We fool ourselves Into the belief that all our modern concern for social justice, social security and social service is new. Where as it is but the application of the stern teachings of the Old Testa ment prophets. Justice Not without reason did Micah put Justice first. Everything else is secondary.

As Daniel Webster said, "Justice is the supreme con cern of heaven on The prophet penned a powerful pic ture of the rich and the rulers of his day who withheld justice from the people. They were the prototypes of the exploiting class of our time. Their misdeeds smelt to high heaven-and made a mock ery of all their sacrifices and cere monial observances. Cod laughs In condemnatory scorn at the man who underpays and works his employes, and then gives an art gallery or a library to the public. International affairs are hope lessly askew today simply because justice has been withheld by na lions in dealing with one another.

Government commissions are in vestigating the unjust practices of corporations and industries, until sheer justice prevails, neither philosophy nor philanthropy can amend contemporary ills. Happily, the number of Prophet Micahs Is increasing throughout the earth', and raising the old, old cry for righteousness and justice. This truth of the primacy of justice is not -merely one for statesmen and business magnates it applies equally to paying pri vate debts, to rendering honest income tax reports, to dealing fairly with servants, and to all the multiform transactions of dally life. Nobody can at the same time be both dishonest and religious. As Micah says, God hides His face from deniers of justice The Everyday In Canada, where I spend my Summers, I learn many lessons, from the plain folk who are my neighbors.

One is their sterling honesty. They have Inherited the great Christian traditions of char acter, and they carry them out in practical neighbor lines. I inquir ed concerning a Unless and help less old man who will not be mov ed from his longtime home; and was told that the busy neighbor women 'take turns in caring for him. That sort of thing is going on all over the land among everyday folk who would not recognize themselves as "social workers" One notable change has been made by the Revised 'Version in Micah's most famous utterances, It translates the rather vague "tove mercy" into "love kindness That, brings the great principle down on to the common plane of life. The art of kindness is for everyday use.

Paul put it, "Be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one Kindness is a universal language. To every man and woman on earth every day brings opportunity for kindness. It Is a more easily recog-j nized sign of a religious character than the theological profundity or ecclesiastical orthodoxy. Real Christians are kind In all their relationships; and by that label they are recognized. A Steadying Backward Look.

This man Micah, whose words fit present-day conditions as glove fits a hand, lived long, long ago, in the eighth century before Christ. He was a contemporary of Isaiah; and is an illustration of the truth that there is always room for a minor prophet, even in the pres ence of a major prophet: just as a Sunday School teacher has a work nerres and irritable temper destroy the two seetntisli of attractiveness. specialist win tell you how hopeleaa of com bat ting the care lioea and -which accompany nervous exhaustioa symptoms of fear, worry snd anxiety. brought on by trouble, overwork or of a deficient diet, nervous disorders overcome by the regular and persistant Chase's Nerve.

The dark cloud of the Assyrian Invasion hung over the horizon of Micah day, and colored his ut terances. But he had a word of hope. He was counsellor and comforter to Judah.
