JESUS THE PERFEa MAN
(From The Memphis Commercial Appeal, Dee. 22, 1922)
There Is no ether character in his* because He knew there were things
tory like that of Jeans.
As a preacher, as a doer of things,
and as a philosopher, no man ever
had the sweep and the vision ff
Jesus.
^ human analysis of the human
actions of Jesus brings to view a
rule of life that 'is amazing in its
perfect detail.
The system of ethics Jesus taught
during His earthly sojourn 2,000 years
ago was true then, has been true in
every century since, and will be true
forever.
Plato was a great thinker and learn
ed in his age, but his teachings did
not stand the test of time. In big
things and in little things time and
human experience have shown that
he erred.
Marcus Aurelius touched the re
flective mind of thf world, but he
was as cold and austere as brown
marble.
The doctrine of Confucius-gave a
great nation moral and mental dry
rot.

Mohammed offered a system of eth
ics which was adopted by millions of
people. Now their children live in
deserts where once there were cities,
along dry rivers where once there
was moisture, and in the shadows of
gray barren hills where once thefe
was greenness.
Thomas Aquinas was a profound
philosopher, but parts of his system
have been abandoned.
Francis of Assissi was Chriatlikc
in his saintliness, but in some things
he was childish
Thomas A. Kempis* '“Imitation of
Christ’' is a thing of rare beauty and
sympathy, mut it is, as its name indi
cates, only an imitation.
Sir Thomas Hoore’s “Utopia” is yet
a dream that can not be realized.
Lord Bacon, writing on chemistry
and medicine under the glasses of
the man working in a twentieth cen
tury laboratory, is puerile.
The world’s most learned doctors
until a hundred and fifty years ago,
gave dragon’s blood ^nd the ground
dried tails of lizards and shells of
eggs for certain ailments. The great
surgeons a hundred years ago bled
a man if he were wounded.
Napoleon had the world at his feet
for four years, and when he died the
world was going on its way as if he
had never lived.
Jesus taught little as to property
of more importance than property.
He measured property anji life, the
body and soul, at their exact relative
value. He taught much as to charac
ter, because character is of more im
portance than dollars. .. ,
Other men taught us to develop

»' No man today, no matter whether
he follows the doctrine of Mills, Marx
or George, as to property, can find a
false principle in Jesus' theory of pro

Bronss Tablet Inscribed to Memory
of Carey Clyde Brown, Tb Be
Placed in New Gym.
H. L. Bomar, president of the P. C.
student body, called a meeting last
Wednesday evening for the purpose
of presenting the bronze tablet to the
memory of Carey Clyde Brown, who
died last year as a result of an injury
sustained in football.
Shortly after Brown's death, a com
mittee was appointed from the stu
dent body to purchase a suitable tab
let to be placed in |he new gymna
sium with a proper inscription on it
to the memory of the decqnsed.
The tablet has been provided and ui
a very appropriate one, bearing testi
mony of the love and esteem the de
parted student was held by his asso
ciates. It bears the date of birth and
the date of death, with the following
wording: “Died October 7th, 1923, on
the football field. He nobly gave his
life for his Alma Mater.”

ffiSrers, not all the' experiences ofrul-
ers, not all the historical facts that
go to make the sum of human kno^rl
edge on this day in 1922 ar ein con
tradiction to one word uttered or one
principle laid down by Jesus.
The human experiences of 2,000
years show that Jesus never made a
mistake. Jesus never uttered a doc
trine that was true at the time and
then became obselete.
Jesus spokerthe truth; He lived the
truth; mid truth is eteimaL
History has no record of any other
man leading a perfect life or doing
everything in logical order. Jesus is
the only person whose every action
and whose every utterance strike a
true note in the heart and mind of
every man born of a woman. He
never said a foolish thing, never did
a foolish act, and never dissembled.
No poet, no dreamer, no philoso
pher loved humanity with the love
that Jesus bore toward all men.
Who, then, was Jesus?
He could not have been merely a
man, for there never was a man who
had two consecutive thoughts abso
lute in truthful perfection.
Jesus must have been what Christ
endom proclaims Him to be^-a divine
being—or He could not have been
what He was. No mind but an in
finite mind could have left behind
those things which Jesus gave to the
world as a heritage.

“HAVE EARS, BUT
; j THEY HEAR NOT”
<> DR. KREDKR1CK R. GREEN
, > Editor of “HEALTH”
EAFNESS, either complete or par-
tlel, Is a common affliction. Next
to loss of sight It is the most serious
accident lyhich can happen to our
senses. In Children, it interferes seri
ously with their school work and early
training, separates them from normal
children and often makes them re
served, shy and melancholy. Cut off
from the world of sound and prevent
ed from mingling with other children
on equal terms, they may develop men
tal peculiarities, which are too often re
garded as signs of defective intellect
or vicious disposition.
Earache is regarded as one of the
common and insignificant complaints
of childhood; something that every
child has and that isn’t of any special
importance. This is a serious mis
take. No one has pain In a healthy
ear. There is no more reason why
children should have earache than why
grovnupr. should have it. Any pain
in the child’s ear is a danger signal
that something Is wrong, which, if neg
lected, may result in permanent Injury
to hearing.
Earache In the child generally means
middle ear Infection. This may be
the result of an earlier scarlet fever,
measles or diphtheria. It may mean
adenoids in the throat, which have
stopped up the passage from the throat
to the ear. It may mean diseased
tonsils. It may be due to an Infection
of the throat and nose, such as an or
dinary “cold” or an attack of grippe.
Whatever the cause, middle ear in
fection means that the little cavity
deep in the ear behind the ear drum
is full of pus. A hot water bag. a hot
salt bag or a little hot sweet oil may
ielieve the pain, but it won’t cure the
trouble. “Leaving it to nature” mean’s
that the pus in the ear, like pus any
where in the body. jwill find its way
out in some direction. It may work
Its way in, in which case your child
will have a mastoid abscess, a very
painful and dangerous condition. *11
the pressure in the middle ear is too
great, the ear drum will rupture and
the pus will run out through the outer
canal. Tearing theiear drum often de
stroys it and may cause permanent
deafness. After the pus has escaped,
the ear may “run” for months or even
years, the long continued Infection de
stroying all the delicate machinery of
hearing and leaving the child partially
or totally deaf.
i Earache in children la not $ trival
matter. It is nature’s warning of a
serious condition. Find out what la
the cause of the pain and save .your
child from a condition which may ham
per It seriously or even endanger life
ttaelf.
