Mere Christianity: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Today, we’ll take a look at the 1939 movie, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, in which Jefferson Smith, leader of the state's Boy Rangers, is an innocent, wide-eyed idealist who idolizes the senior senator of the state, Joseph Paine. But when Smith discovers that Sen. Paine has introduced a pork barrel bill to use the Boy Rangers camp’s land to make money for himself and his business partners, Mr. Smith attempts to expose the scam. Senator Paine uses his power with the news media to accuse Smith of stealing money from the Boy Rangers. Risking his own reputation, he exposes Senator Paine as a charlatan. We’ll consider this question from C.S. Lewis’ book, Mere Christianity by asking: To create a truly Christian society, wouldn’t we want to apply the Golden Rule – to love our neighbors as ourselves?
