William Jennings Br yan's Weekly Bible Talk
A LESSON OF SURPASSING BEAUTY
'By William Jennings Bryan
In our weekly study of events in
Christ's life, we now come to a les
son of surpassing beauty, although
it deals with sin and the sinner,
It exhibits one of the wonderful
attributes of the Saviour; namely,
His ability to separate the sinner
from his sin and to love the for
mcr while hating tbe latter.
Christ, in the second year of Hii
ministry, sat at meat in a Phari
see's house when ''a woman in the
city" Luke describes her simply as
a "sinner" came to Jesus with an
alabaster cruse of ointment. Let me
quote the description of the scene
which we find in Luke's Gospel
"And stood at his feet behind
him weeping, and began to wash his
feet with tears, and did wipe them
with the hairs of her head, and
kissed his feet, and anointed them
with the ointment.
."Now when the Pharisee which
bad bidden him saw it, he spake
within himself, saying, This man,
if he were a prophet, would have
known who and what manner of
woman this is thst toucheth him:
for she is a sinner."
The Pharisee felt offended that
such a woman a sinner should
come into his house, and it raised
suspicion as to Christ's power that
He seemed not to perceive the kind
of woman that she was.
Just like a Pharisee; it was one
of his School that Christ used to
draw a contrast between the imita
tion prayer and the real prayer. It
was a Pharisee who prided himself
upon his own superiority and thank
ed God that he was not as other
men.
How could a woman like this
have the courage to ocme in a house
like hist' And how could one who
claimed to be a prophet allow such
a woman to wash his feet with her
tears and wipe them with the hairs
of her head and even kiss his feet
and anoint them with ointment?
An Unequalled Bebuke
Of all the rebukes in history and
literature few, if any, equal tne one
administered to this Pharisee by
Jesus.
"Simon, I have somewhat to' say
unto thee,'' said the guest of His
host. . . ' '
"Master, say on," replied the
Pharisee
Then Christ put a question to
himr if one debtor owed five hun
dred pence and another fifty and
both were forgiven, which would
Jpve the lendor most?
Simon, the Pharisee, did not seem
to be greatly impressed by the prob
lem; he did not answer Tory heart
ily; there was even an air of flip
pancy in his reply. "I suppose,"
he did not care to announce any
positive decision in so trival a case
but he "supposed" that the one
to whom the creditor forgave most
would love most..
Then Christ turning to tbe woman
but speaking to Simon, said what
might seem even rude where polite
ness is estimated more highly than
truth.
"Seest thou this woman! I entered
into thine house, thou gavest me no
water for my feet; but she hath
washed them with tears, and wip
ed them with the hairs of her head.
"Thou gavest me no kiss: but this
woman since the time I came in
hath not ceased to kiss mv feet.
"My head with oil thou didst not
anoint: but this woman hath anoint
ed my feet with ointment."
How the eyes of Jesus must have
lliere will be special music by the
choir, congregational singing, and
brief address by the pastor. These
Sunday night meetings are growing
in interest' snd attendnnee. A week
ago the house was filled almost to
capacity and it was an inspiration to
sit under the spell of Gospel songs

1 (Luke 7:37-48)
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when
he knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought
an alabaster box of Ointment.
And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash
his feet with tears ,and did wipe them with the hair of her head,
and kissed his feet, and annointed them with ointment,
Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he
spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet,
would have known who and what manner of woman this is that
toucheth him; for she is a sinner.
And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat
to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
There was a certain creditor which had two debtors; the one
owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
And when they bad nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them
both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most!
8imon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he for
gave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou
this woman t I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water
for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped
them with the hairs of her head.
' Thou gavest me no kiss; bat this woman since the time I came
in hath not ceased to "kiss my feet.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath
anointed my feet with ointment.
Wharefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are
forgiven; for she loved much; but to whom little is forgiven, the
same loveth little.
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
pierced the Pharisee's heart as He
held up before him the devotion of
the woman and contrasted her at
tentions with the indifference of
the Pharisee, Before saying- to the
woman, "Thy sins are forgiven,"
He informed Simon that "her sins,
which are many, are forgiven," and
then he applied the rule that He
had forced Simon to admit to be
just, "For she, loved much."
And we must not overlook the
philosophy embodied in the conclud
ing clause , of the verse, "But to
whom little is forgiven, the same
loveth little." Here we have Jesus
who came to be the propitiation for
man 's sins, announcing the posses
sion of all power to rorgive ana
the completeness of that forgive
ness. We have Pharisees today who
think themselves sinless who draw
their cloaks close about them for
fear they may be contaminated by
sinner.
They reject the idea that man
ever fell or can fall. They profess
to believe that man has been im
proving throughout the ages and
therefore needs no Saviour. Having
no place in their philosophy for a
fall, they recognize no need of sal
vation. They can. see no blackness
in sin. If man makes mistakes, they
say we must not be too severe with
him just, a little reprimand , will
be sufficient.
Such is the philosophy of those
who today feel themselves superior
to all who confess their sins and
see in Christ their Saviour.
Man's Natural Tendency
There is no subject upon which
the Bible is more explicit than the
subject of sin. Philip Mauro, in a
recent book, declares that the Bible
is the most hated book ever pub
lished and he explains this hatred
on the ground that the Bible is
man. It holds up before him a life
the only book that does not flatter
like picture of himself and declares
him to be wicked and in need of a
Saviour. This is a subject which
every human being should study and
upon wheih every one should have

an opinion because it is a subject
which concerns every one.
Is man's natural tendency down
ward or upward Who, if he ex
amines himself and understands
others, can doubt that it is down
ward! That invisible, intangible,
eternal thing that we call life is
in a constant struggle with the in
fluences that would destroy the
body.
From birth it is a fight against
disease and Iurlrtng danger. Some
times the spark of life is extin
guished as the babe enters life;
'sometimes it is put out in infancy
or youth; sometimes the battle con
tinues until maturity is reached;
sometimes all of life's foes are kept
at bay until old age lowers the
body's vitality and makes it the
prey of some disease which would
have been impotent when the pulse
was full and the resisting iwer
at its maximum.
Need of a Spiritual Fores
But there is never a day when
life can make a treaty of peace
with hidden enemies or suspend its
vigilance. Finally, either - without
notice or at the end of a seige of
sickness, the surrender is announc
ed and man drops back into the dust
from which he sprang.
Drummond has nsed this gravita
tion toward the grave to illustrate
the necessity for a lifting power.
Just as the body needs life to keep
it from yielding to an unrelenting
force that pulls it downward to
ward the earth, so man needs a
spiritual force from above to keep
him from the grossest transgres
sions. Look at the victims of sin. -One
man is an athlete in frame,
a scholar in training, and a saint
in hopes and ideals; he falls a viij
tim to the appetite for drink.
Watch him as he drops out of
church, and then out of business,
and the nout of society and then
into the grave. The mother who
rejoiced at his birth and dreamed
of great achievements in his youlh
sighs botween her tears and feels
relieved when the tragedy is en led.

Take one who has just as good s

immorality; his rotting flosh Will

not be born upon a plane so high
but he can fall to the lowest
depths of degradation.
The Supreme False God
And so with the gambler; he can
become so diseased as to be indif
ferent to God 's law of rewards
which limits one's collections to his
earnings and measures his earnings
by the service which he renders.
But the god of drink, the gwd of
passion, and the god. of chance are
only three of the many false gode
which men worship.
There is the god of ease that
those worship wno think only of
having a good time; the god of in
tellect that those worship who put
the brain above the heart and the
reason above faith; the travel god
that those worship who yield to the
wanderlust until the ordinary ex
periences of life become uninterest
ing to them; tbe god of fame that
those worship who are willing to ex
change everything for fleeting ap
plause; the god of fashion that
those worship who put social dis
tinction above solid service to so
ciety; and the god of gold whose
devotees find their hearts shrivel
ing and their sympathies contract
ing because of their worship of
money.
All of these false gods have their
worshippers and all are but masks
for the one supreme false god
self.
The worship of self is the funda
mental sin, black and degrading.
It may not lead one to the viola
tion of statute laws), it may simply
make him as worthless to society as
the brute more worthless because
he consumes, while the brute may
yield its body to man for food.
An Awe.Inspiring Though
Until one la brought under con
viction, he does not understand his
need for forgiveness, but let him
once see the carnal heart as it real
ly is and he can understand how far
man has fallen and how helpless
man is without a power from above
to lift his load of guilt and lead
him on the upward way.
Bible scholars have pointed out
as evidence of the fall of man that
the human being is the only crea
ture that does not live up to its
possibilities.
The horse, the cow, the sheep, the
hog all animals, -domestic and
wild live upon the highest plane
possible for them. There are no de
linquents, no degenerates among
the brutes "only man is vile."
The difference between the value
of the highest and the lowest of
any given species is not great, but
consider the infinitude of space that
separates man at his best from man
