The question box contained the
question "Whv do we have candles

torical reasons for the use OF lights.
the Bishop called the attention of
the people to the fact that people
are generally ritualists in their din
ing rooms and in their lodges, but
that they object to ntual in the
church.
He asked the question "Why do
you dress YOUR dining tables so

care to your Lords table, Il can
see no reason why YOUR tables SHOULD
be so richly decorated and His be
barren. 1t is bad lesson for the

ference between the High and Low

Bishop Johnson
Gives instruction
in the Sacramento

v The largest attendance of the Mis-
sion was recorded Monday evening
at ST. Marks church. Bishop john
son of Colorado gave instruction in
&c Sacraments and their relation to
the Christian life.
N1Ie emphasized the fact that the
religion Of Jesus Christ differs from
all other religions in that it is a rcli-
gion of personal human contacts. 1t
is not an intellectual thing to satisfy
mans curiosity. nor an emotional
sensation to crafty certain physical
Indulgence. but a personal relation
ship in which Christ bound us to
Himself by certain ties that wee
intensely human.
1t is one thing for us to magirt
that ones opintans about God will
raise us from our collins. BIT such
q thing is highly improbable for
opinions will not transport us to the
next room. The Christian docs not
trust to his opinions. but to the
gracious touch of Christ by which
He raised the dead.
1t is this touch which Christ es-
tablisheS in His sacramentS and the
man who believes in Christ eagerly
desires to touch Him through: this
sacrament of his Own making. 1t Is
not a question of YOUR understanding
Him. 1t Is a question of your trust
ing Him, loving Him and doing what
he asks YOU to do. The whole basis
of the Sacramento System Is just
this, do l accept ChriSts grace on
His terms or on NV own?
The Bishop then explained that
all life is subject to these biological
laws, the law of birth. the law Ct
nourishment and the law of adapa
ton. and that Christ had rlade there
statements which related the Christ
ian life 80 our natural lite.
First regarding Baptism, He said:
Except a man be born of water and
the spirit he cannot enter the King
dom of Heaven" the law of spiritual
birth.
Second. He said Except a man eat
the flesh of the son of Man and drink
his blood he has no lite in him"-the
law of spiritual nourishmcnt.
Third. He said, Except man be-
come as a little child he cannot be
a member of the Kingdom of
Heaven"-the law of adaptation.
In his sermon. the Bishop took for
his text IF you love Me keep My
commandments" Christ commanded
us to do not the things which we
want to do. but the things which He
told us to do. all of which are dis
tasteful to the average man. These
three commandments are Repent
We" do This and "Go Yc." The
first is to be humble where we want

A Study In Family Relationships

Cologne. Oct. 15-The little Will
age of HohenburS, near here, Is now
more interested in domestic compli-
cations than it is in international
ones. The town is absorbed in
working out the complexities of two
matrimonial adventures beside
which the table of affinity appears
ridiculously simple.
The puzzle started two years ago
when n GS year old widower wooed
and married the village belle, a.
maid of twenty two, who thus be-
came the" step mother of her hus-
bands forty year old son.. En-
boldened by his fathers example the
son married the mother of his step
mother. by which his own father
became his son-in-law.
Then the twenty two year old
wife presented her husband with a
daughter and the elder bride did
the same thing. and so the first
baby's grandmother is also her sis
ter-in-law.
