The idea of God.

winston ChufcnlIl, IN the Auantlc.
God, for Jew and Christian, and even
for the pagan. has always been the most
vital element in government. We see il
in ancient Egypt and in the Roman en-
pire: we see 1t in Israel. And just as
we turn to Greece for art and to Rome
for law, we turn to Israel for religion.
What was the Jews conception OF God
He was our God. We can recognize Him
in Isaiah. In the Psalms. in the Penta-
teuch. Yet He was. as they conceived
Him. something Of an oriental despot, but
not wholly. He was more He was the
Kind, just father Of his chosen people.
but outside OF them, In a place above the
roof Of the sky which they called heaven.
He was a God who ruled by laws which
He had sent down from heaven and given
to Moses: He was God who demanded
sacrifice. Then Jesus came with a new
and bewildering idea OF Him, so tran
We're to elapse before the world could
begin to grasp something Of the full
meaning OF 1t. God Is a father; not the
father Of q nation, but the father of
every man and woman who walks the
earth, Of the publican, OF the sinner and
the outcast as well as of the fortunate;
father who Is ready to recognize the
spirit of godhood in each, no matter into
what state of bestiality he has deteri-

bic, autonomous being. Il will arise and

ingratiatingly: not with presents to pro-
pftiate him, but with the offer Of service

X *
Mark.
Mark, strange to say, has no genealogy
at all. The Roman needed none. In the
Roman state a slave, II he had qualities
efficient enough, could rise to the place
OF chief power and be thought none the
less OF for having been a slave. The
Roman cared not where q man came
from, but simply for what he was. The
Roman empire is the last-and shall !
say only?-universal empire the world mas
seen. In the very first chapter OF Mark
Christ begins to establish kingdom-a
very Roman proceedings work that
Matthew puts or to the fourth chapter
and that Luke does not mention at all.
Marks gospel Is the gospel of action IN
stead of talk. He onlits all the long dis
courses the others have, and OF some
thirty parallels he gives only four; but OF
thirty three miracles--displays OF divine
power-his gospel. by far the shortest,
gives nearly as many as any other. He
deals with the logic OF facts and acts.

The Gospels.

AS it was an object of the Old Testa-
ment to present the Savior that was to
come, so the object of the New Testa-
ment is to set forth the Savior that did
come.
The four gospels record the eternal be-
ing, human ancestry, birth, teaching and
works Gin parD. death, resurrection and
ascension of Jesus the Christ, who, in
His Ofice Of fulfillment of the needed re-
quirements of Savior, must be the Son of
God and Son of Man.
Let it be noted that the gospels are not,
and are not intended to be, a biography
of Jesus; for, as appears from John,
20:3O only a small part OF His deeds
(teaching and works) are recorded. Their
purpose is simply to set forth, not a
biography, but a person. This fact, ap-
pretended. would have precluded a vast
amount Of thought, speech and writing
more otherwise than wise.e
Scholarship. beginning with early
Christian fathers and coming down
through the centuries, discerns that Mat
thew wrote for the Jew, Mark for the
Roman, Luke for the Greek, John for the
Christian. The four have more or less
that is common to all-similar. and each
has elements peculiar to itseif-diner-
ences that distinguish. and thus the four
become q, fourfold portraiture-(and they
are four because OF the fourfold need OF
humanity)-a composite photograph OF
the one unique Person, who meets the
quadruplex racial wants, Savior suited

SCHOOL FIGHT ON
FRATS LEADS TO
DOUBLE WEDDING

CHICAGO, Sept. 21-"Four Hearts
That Beat as Two" or "A Romance of
the Fraternity War of 1904" would be
a fitting title to the double wedding to
be performed at the Holy Angels
church. Mabel Thorpe is to wed Jo-
seph J. Grindell, mining engineer. At
the same time Miss Thorpe's brother,
William ]. Thorpe, is to wed Miss Elva
Putnam, who lives at the Thorpe home.
The wedding is the elimination of
the fraternity fight waged by the Chi
cago school authorities against frater-
mites and sororities in 1904. Miss
Thorpe and Miss Putnam were mem
bers of the same sorority and Thorpe
and Grindell were members of the
same fraternity. Both societies were
placed under the ban of the faculty of
the Wendell Phillips school.
Both girls and boys were members Of
committees appointed to meet and con-
fer on ways and means to combat the
school ediCt. At the meeting Thorpe
met Miss Putnam and Grindeu met
Miss Thorpe. A friendship sprang up
and last year the couples became en-
gagged
