Sermonette
' Edited by

! For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the
'whole earth, to show himself strong in behalf of those whose
, neart is perfect toward him. 2 Chron. 16:9. l'
CHARITY AND ROBBERY .
In. a recent issue of the Oregon Voter is "a report of the
speech of -Fred I. Kent at ;a meeting of the Portland City
Club,' lie made the startling statement that there are now
;in the; United States 1,500,000 parasitic idlers who-are en
joying lUnprecedented prosperity. '
; He was referring not to the idle rich but to hoboes who:
'float around from place to place, enjoying the 'freedom of
! an irresponsible life at the expense of tender-hearted citi
zens who freely contribute 'their dimes -and quarters an4
.compliment themselves upon 'their generosity.
'4 i The' iYoter goes on.- to.say: "An experienced investigator,
' Who has spent months on the road and' in the jungles, advises
' us that Kent is right. . He reports that the hobo population
.'is Jiving on the fat of the land and is recruiting 'heavily
jfrom the ranks of the unemployed. The hobo, lives without'
jwork. The towns feed him and move him onwards. In the
; cities he panhandles on the streets and makes from '$3 to'
:$10 per hour." ... ..
,; i Right here 'in La Grande we can confirm these facts with-1
: out the service ' of an ..experienced investigator. Everyone
; admits ' that there are several' hundred mien in the county
i who would like. to' find jobs, men who would be glad to work
- hard for a .living if they .only had the chance.. Butt we also
must admit that there ari many who never did a day's work
in their lives, and never intend to: thev are takinn- advantneo
of the present unemployment situation.and are greedily seek
..Jng charity which should go to those who really deserve it.
The Medford Mall Tribune believes there are more of these
parasites than most people suppose, and says: "The situation
is clearly illustrated by the story of the hard-working wife
who .said she welcomed the depression, for 'before the depres
sion her husband was only a bum. But now, said she proud
ly, he is a, worthy member of the deserving unemployed!"
- In(-La Grande hardly a day passes without similar illustrai
: lions of this unhealthy condition. Strong, healthy men fro-!
quently come to the office of the county nurse with pleas foi'
groceries and clothing for their families; but when told they
may'.earn the needed supplies by splitting wood, they find
all kinds of silly execuses; or brazenly refuse to work for
what they want.
Just the other day a local housewife took pity on a fairlyi
well 'dressed young man who knocked nt the 'back door and,
in a voice which indicated that he had a bad cold, explained
that..he had slept on the ground for several lights and
wanted money to buy food and lodging. The woman gave
him ,a duurter. A short time later she went down town
and happened to see the same young man buy a ticket and
go into the theatre. .
The moral is evident. Charily should be placed entirely
in the hands of organized relief agencies which have means
of distinguishing the worthy unemployed from the para
sites. When you feel a spell of generosity coming over you,
contribute to county relief work, but close your purse to panhandlers.
Ye are my friends, if ye do what,
ever 1 command you. John 15:14,
' It is a luminous and a moving
thing, to think of the Church of Ood
as a river, and filling the ofltces of a
river-In-the life of mankind quick
enlng.'fertlllzlng, beautifying, enrich
lng. - We are too apt to think of (he
Church of Ood as an Institution, and
an Institution Is literally something
that stands, whereas the Church Is a
process, something thot movce,
. , There is a river the life -of
God -In- the sou! of -man canalized In
a eoclety of men .which has -made
glad the life of -man, and you never
.oan-toll -what -strange -treasures -may
not be borne on Its voters.
rruituasur uoyce nus saio mat it
Is a part of the Christian experience
that the believer has an ideal Church,
beloved community, In his heart.
an Ideal that Is forever crying out
to him, "Create." - .
Then, men and women, as tho Lord
llveth, let us bend ourselves to this
business of creation.
. 'And that Imnlles. first of all. that
wo set a term to criticism, to com.
plaint. I have done my share of It
and so have you. But, after all. It
Is a moan and low 'business, like
man criticizing his mother. ....
And the place for us to begin Is in
the Church. It was the Insight of
genius that led the early Quakers to
call themselves a Society of Friends;
trial la what the Church should.be,
and, alas, so little la, and Its busi
ness 'is to mako the whole round
earth a society of friends. Richard
Roberts in The Federal Council Bui
