EEIN the crowds, he went up on floe mountain,
and when he sat down his disciples came to him
And he opened his mouth and taught thenL saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they slmll
be comforted.
"'Blessed are the meek, for they shall ildwrit
the earth.
"Blessed are those who htuler and thirst for
righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain
mercy. ,,,.
"Blessed are .lhe pure.in heart, for t h('v shall
see Cod.
"'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall
be called sons of Cod.
"'Blessed are those who are lersecuted for
righteousness' sake, for theirs is the ki,gdom of
]maven.
"Blessed are yott when men revile you and per-
secute you and utter all kinds of evilagainst yot
falsely on my account. Rejoice and ])e glad, for your
reward is great in heaven, for so men persecuted the
prophets who were before you.
"Ym are the salt of ttie earth; but if salt has
lost its taste, how can its saltness be restored? It is
no longer good for anything except to be throwrt
out and trodden under fl)ot hv men.
"You are the light of the world. A city set on a
hill cannot be hid. Nor do men light alar@ alld put
it under a bushel, but on a stand, and it gives light
to all in the house. Let your light so shine before
men, that they may see your good works and give
glory to your Father who is in heaven.
"Think not that I have come to abolish the law
and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them
but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, till heaven
and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass
from the law until all is accomplished. Whoever
then relaxes one of tim least of these commandments
and teaches men so, shall be Balled least in the king- _
dora of heaven; but he who does them and teaches
them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
For I tell you, unless your righteotlsness exceeds
that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never
enter the kingdorn of heaven.
"You have heard that it was said to the men of
old, "You shall not kill; and whoever kills shall be
liable to judgment.' But I say to you that every one
who is angry with his brother shall be liable to
judgment; whoever insults his brother shall be liable
to the cormcil, and whoever says, "You fooll' shall be
liaMe to the hell of fire. St) if you are offering your
gift at the altar, and there remember that your
brother has sonmthiilg against you, leave your gift
there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to
your brother, ancl then come and offer y(mr gift.
Make fi'iends quickly with your accuser, while you
are going with him to court, It.st your accuser hand
you over to thc }udge, and the jiMge to the guard,
and you be put in prison; truly, I say to you, you
will never get ont till you have paid the last penny.
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall
not commit adultery." But I say to you flint every
one who looks at a woman lustfidh, has ah•eadv com-
mitted adultery with her in his heart. ]f your right
eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and tlirow it away;
it is better that you lose one of your members than
that your whole body be fllrown into hell. And if
your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and
tlow it away; it is better that you lose one of your
meng)ers than that your whole body go into hell.
"'It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife,
let ltim giw her a certificate of divorce." But I say
to you that every one who divorces his wife, except
on the grou))d of unchastity, makes her an adulteress;
aid w[.)ever marries a divorced woman comnaits
adultorv.
"'Again you lmve heard that it was said to the
Jnon of old, "You shall not swear falsely, but shall
pvi'form to the Lord what you have sworn." But I say
1o you. ])o l,)t swear at all, either by heaven, for it
is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is his
footstool, or l)y Jertmalem, for it is the city of tim
great King. And do not swear by your head, for you
cal,)t make orJe hair white or black. Let what you
say l)o simply 'Yes" or 'No'; anything more than this
comes from evil.
"You have ].ieard that it was said, 'An eye for
an eye and a tooth for a tooth." But I say to you, Do
not resist (n)e who is evil• But if any one strikes you
on the right cheek, turn tohim the other also; and if
any one w()tdd sue you and take your coat, let him
have your cloak as well; and if any one forces you
to go oue mile, go with ]tim two miles. Give to him
who begs fi'om you, and do not refuse him who
would borrow fi'om you.
"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall
love your neighlmr and hate your enemy." But I say
to you, Love your enem/es and pray for those who
persecute you, so that you may be sons of your
Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on
the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just
and on the unjust. For if you love those wlm love
you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax
collectors do the same? And if you salute only your
hrethren, what more are you doing than others? Do
not even the Gentiles do the same? You, therefore,
nmst be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
"DEWABE Of practicing your piety before men in

,.,°rder to be seen by tlmm; for then you will have
no reward fi:om your 'a:laer who is in neaven.
"Thus, when you give ahns, sound no txumpet
before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues
and in the ;treets, that tlmy may be praised by men.
Truly, I say to you they have their reward. But when
you give ahns, do not let yourleft hand know what
yollr right hand is doing, so that your ahns may be
in secret; and ),our Father who sees in secret will
reward yOU.
"And when you pray, you must not be hke the
hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the
synagogues and at the street corners, that they may
1)e seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their
reward. But when you pray, go into your room and
shut the door and pray to your Father who is in
secret; and your Father who sees in secret will
reward you,
"'And in praying do not heap up empty phrases
as the Gentiles do; for they thhk that they will be
heard for their mmy words. Do not be like them, for
your Father knows what you need before you ask
him. Pray then like tlfis:
"0 irr Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name. '
Th!! kingdom come,
Thy wiU be done,
On earl h as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our debts,
As we also have [orgiven our debtors:,
Ad lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil."
more urgent than ever
For if you forgive lnen theh" trespasses, your heav-
enly Father also will forgive you; but if you do not
forgive men their h'espasses, neither will your Father
forgive your trespasses.
"And when you fast, do not look dismal, like
the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their
fasting may be seen by men. Truly, I say to you,
they have theh: reward. But when you fast, anoint
your head and wash your face, that your fasting may
not be seen by men but by your Father who is in
secret; and your Father who sees in secret will
reward you.
"Do not lay up for you!'selves treasures on
earth, where moth and rust corisume and where
thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yore'selves
treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
consumes and where thieves do not break in and
steal; for where your treasnre is, there will your
heart be also•
"The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your
eye is sound, your whole body will he full of light;
but if your eye is not sound, your whole body will
be full of darkness. If then the light in you is dark-
ness, how great is the darkness[
"No one can serve two masters; for either he
will hate the one and love the other, or he will .he
devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot
serve God and mammon.
"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about
your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink,
nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not
life more than food, attd the body more than cloth-
ing? Look at the bh'ds of the air: they neither sow nor
reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly
Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than
they? And which of you by being anxious can add one
cubit to his span of life? And why be anxious about
clothing? Consider the lilies of the feld, how they
grow; they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even
Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of
these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field,
wlfich today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into tim
oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of
little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, say!ng,
"What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink? or
'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek all these
things; and your heaveuly Father knows that you
need them all. But seek first his kingdom and his
righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as
well.
"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's
own h'ouble be sufficient for the day.
J VDeE not, that you be not judged. For with the
judgment you pronounce you will be judged,
and the measure you give will be the measure you
get. Wh y do, you see the speck _that . is. in your bro tm 1 r' s
eye, but do not notice the log that s m your own eye?
Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the
speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in yore:
own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your
own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the
speck out of your brother's eye.
• "Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not
throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample
them underfoot and turn to attack you.
"Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and youwill
find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every
one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and
to him who knocks it will be opened. Or what man of
you, if his son asks hhn for a loaf, will give him a
stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?

This special'newspaper page is the project of a group of a= you r,i
people who believe that the Sermon on the Mount is t
message of profound importance to everyone, everywhere,
today. That conviction is supported thruout the world bY
men and women of very different faiths and backgrounds,
distinguished in science and industry, politics, educatioo,
and every walk of life.
Certainly day. after day this great sermon should be ex-
plored and apphed -- for humility and mature charity, alert"
ness to false prophets, and the power of example. We believe.
t can thereby lead to solution of the most serious human
problems, and offers great power for healing among the
nations.
