Much deliberation and thoughtful planning is involved in
moving one of these chessmen. People who play this game spend
many hours contemplating the next move. Often a player finds
his move has proved futile, and frequently he discovers his play
has cost him the game.
In chess, we are not always able to foresee the move that lies
ahead. If we lose, we merely chalk one up for the other side and
forget about it.
But in another more serious game we are not able to treat
our failures so lightly. In the game of life, we cannot deliberately
ignore and forget our errors. i
In life also, we are faced with our inability to foretell the cor-
rect move, but here the outcome is more important. This is why
we must put our faith in something greater, something more sure
than mere human speculation.
We who live in the Christian era are blessed with great gifts
of inspiration and guidance—the Bible and the Church. Through
them our lives may be made victorious. But the choice is ours...
to win, or to lose!

Jesus Knew No Religious Prejudice
RY WILLIAM R GILROY. D. Ik
( )NE of the most amazing and re-
volting incidents of 6ur time
is the spectacle of certsin people
preaching and practicing racial
and religious prejudice in the
name of Cli’rist. And much of this
prejudice has been duwted against
Jews, of which religum was Jesus
himself, and from whom we re-
ceived, not only the riches of thv
Old Testament, but the records of
the New, and the church itself.
When Paul spoke of the Gospel
of Christ, he emphaaized its uni-
versality. His mission and min-
istry, he insisted, were to Gentiles
as well as to those of his own re-
ligion. bo^i to the Greek and to the
Jew It was his boast of the Gos-
pel that it had power to change
any man.
Was Paul in this a true inter-
preter of his Master'* Or did Jesus
in any way limit His mission, or
the benefits nnd privileges of the
grace of God?
'THEJRE arc one or two incidents
1 that viewed tightly, or thought-
lessly. might indicate that. But
the whole story of Jeaus. the rev-
elation of His spirit, and the gen-
eral records of the four Gospels,
are so much agauhst any such in-
terpretation. that these Incidents
must be seen in the light of the
full evidence.
One of the most purrling inci-
dents. if we read the record wilh-

out insight and imagioalion, is that
o( Jesus and the Syrophenician
woman, in Mark 25-39. This
troubled Grecian woman had
brought her demented daughter to
Jesus, beseeching Him to heal her.
Jesus had retired to a house, hop-
ing fur privacy and rest, but the
woman heard of His being there,
and was persistent in her effort to
see Him.
Her importunity must have Im-
pressed Him, but evidently to test
her faith He put in her way stum*
bling blocks that seemed harsh,
and even cruel. Voicing the com-
mon religious and racial prejudice,
He salAln effect, "Do you ask this
ot Me. iSew? If is not meet to
take the children's bread and give
it unto dogit,'' But He was voicing,
not His own thought, but the sort
of thing that racial and religious
prejudice thinks and says, for He
was about to bless the woman and
her daughter.
Had we been there, we would
undoubtedly have seen the look in
His eye, and observed the manner
that belied the seeming harshness
of His words. And He drew from
the woman the reply that pleased
Him. Dogs must be fed. Human
need transcends prejudices.
So the incident, and the healing,
actually rebuked those who would
have turned the woman away.
There is no place for racial or re-
ligious-prejudice in any phase ot
Christ or HU Gospel.
