THEOLOGY
By DR.. Frank Crane

~ HERE is a great deal of unreasonable
prejudice against theology.
- Theology is the science of God, and
God is simply ones theory of the universe, OF
the purpose of life, and Of the meaning Of
destiny.
Every living man has a theology. In either
case It is the fundamental idea of all his
thinking.
The questions, "Why was born?" what
is to become of me when I die?" What re-
sponsibiIity is upon me in my Iife?" 'What is
good and what is bad, and how are they
binding upon me?' are the very ueepeSU
questions one can ask.
And thew are questions every human being
does ask, is interested in, and seeks light
upon.
A persons character is determined by the
way he answers them.
He may take refuge in some creed and
answer them in the formulas of others, con-
scious that they are too much for him. 80
he may be Christian, Jew, Buddhist or MO-
hammedan All these institutions rest upon
the ever green desire of men to solve in some
workable way the problem Of existence and
it's significance.
Or he may Danish these questions entirely
and give himself to science or amusement,
Or he may evade them and call himself
an agnostic.
But whatever he does he must locate him.
self in some relation to them he must take
some point of view in regard to them.
And whatever his point OF view may be-
that is his theology.
The agnostic inidel wastrel has eX-
actly as much theology as the Presbyterian
or the Baptist.
The theology of Omar's "Rubaiyat" is as
distinct as that Of Calvin's Institutes" even
more, for the former has but one point and
the latter has five.
TO say II don't know nor care where I am
going. when [ die or whether l shall survive
bodily death at ALL" is quite as positive an
opinion about the meaning Of life as to say
81 am going to heaven because l am good
Catholic"
/ At the present stage of the worlds devel-
opment these issues are still possessed by
partisan spirit 1t is hard to discuss them
without raising. the question, (Which sect do
you belong to?'
Hence they are not subjects of converse
ton ordinarily in polite society.
And so we lose much We should be helped
if we could argue calmly and honestly about
what life and death mean, without chopplng
the head off every discussion by saying, Il
believe so and So" and being offended If
friend, or an enemy, undertakes to reason
with us.
OF theology it may be said, what a modern
essayist says of philosophy, that 1T ''is not
the concern of those who pass through di
vinity and greats, but of those who pass
through birth and death. Nearly all the more
awful and abstruse statements can be put in
words of one syllable, from "a child is born
to a soul is damned If the ordinary man
nav not discuss existence, why should he be
asked to conduct it,"
