Religious Questions
DR.. S. Parkes Cadman.

Q. Will you state on what texts in
the Old Testament was based the
statement in st. Luke xxiv.46: Thus
1t behooved Christ to suffer and to rise
from the dead the third day"
know that in the flfty-third chap
ter of Isaiah and elsewhere there are
plenty of passages to indicate that He
would suffer: bat the Old Testament
at least as it has come down to us
does not seem to contain anything re-
sembling categorical prediction that
He would rise from the dead on the
third day."
A. The authors Of the gospels and
epistles lived and wrought under the
dominating knowledge that their LORD
was actually alive and had appeared
unto many after His resurrection
Hence the New Testament contains
illusions as well as prophecies taken
from the Old Testament, which seemed
to them to predict this august event.
The interview related in the last
chapter of st. Luke's Evangel contains
the statement that Jesus opened the
understandings of His disciples, In
order that they might know the gen.
eral tenor and purpose of the pre-
dictive Scriptures of Israel. While
they present no specific passage such
as is here inferred, there are several
which may be taken as the evangelist
construed them. For example, the
declaration in Psalm xvi. 10: Thou
wilt not leave my soul in Hades
neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One
to see corruption" was thus inter-
preted by Christian apologistS. Othe,
quotations similarly treated could be
adduced, but this one may suffice fol
the purpose In hand.

DISCUSSED BY

@. How is the story of the creation
as given in Genesis reconciled with the
geological age of the earth as estab-
lished by science?
A. They cannot be reconciled, nor do
they need to be. The purpose of the
writer of Genesis was to present the
views prevalent in his day concerning
the origin of the universe and of man.
His conception on these matters was
influenced by Babylonian or Semetic
legends. He wrote in a primitive and
unscientific age and naturally his state
ments did not anticipate the discoveries
of modern geology and astronomy. The
authors primary aim was to show that
the universe and man proceeded from
God and gravitated toward Him.
Therefore, mans highest happiness and
greatest honor were bound up in his
obedience to his Maker and his constant
endeavor to live in accordance with the
Eternal Will. In t e words Of Cardinal
Baronius, the ancient poets chief OBJ
ject was not to tell us how the heavens
go, but how We go to Heaven.
@. You have referred to Christ's
great saying, Thou shalt love thy neigh
Dor as myself" Did not Moses preach
this very doctrine IA centuries before
Christ, and did not Christ learn this
Hebrew precept at His mothers knee
and from the prayers in the syna-
gogue, as all devout Jews have done
from the time of Moses to the present
day?
Why should not Moses instead of
Christ be given credit for this prin-
ciple?
A. Christ gives credit to Moses for
the authorship of this Scripture, though
It is found only once in the Mosaic
code, hidden away in the book of Le-
viticus (xvi.18). But when He quotes
the words In Matthew VAS, you have
heard the saying, You must love your
neighbor.' He adds its fatal qualifica-
ton, land hate your enemy" Evidently
Christ considered the Jewish conception
Of "neighbor" too narrow for His pur-
poses. 1t included only members of the
same race and among these only those
who strictly observed the law. Those
who did not observe the law were con-
sidered accursed. While this precept is
not original with Christ, He certainly
universalizeG its meaning and applica-
ton. For Him it included all human
beings without distinction of creed or
blood, and especially those who are
wounded in the conflict of life.

HEZEKIAH LEADS HIS PEOPLE
BACK TO GOD.
II Chronicles, xxx.l-27.
Golden Text--"Jehovah, your
God, is gracious and merciful."
II Chronicles, xXx.9.

Hezekiah was unique among the kings
of Judah. We are told that after him
was none like him among all the kings
of Judah, nor any that were before
him" His mother was the daughter OF
zechariah, the high priest, who had OBJ
jected to Uzziah's usurpation OF the
functions of the priesthood. He In
herited the kingdom upon the death OF
his father, AhaZ, who. as a vassal OF
the ASsyrians, had introduced their Gus
toms and worship. He had offered his
own son upon the altar Of Moloch.
Hezekiall had assumed the kingship at
an hour when iniQuity was firmly rooted
and entrenched in the customs, con-
science and character of the people.
Under Ahaz corruption in private and
public life had become so prevalent that
Hezekiah found that he was surrounded
by corrupt court. The public treasury
was empty. The people were poverty
stricken. The army had been shattered
and the boundary of the kingdom was
without proper Notifications.
Hezekiah revealed in his conduct the
influence of his mother who taught him
the obligations Of obeying Gods laws,
including the support OF the Temple.
Isaiah, who, according to tradition, was
the kings tutor and teacher. Influenced
Hezekian to make religion the founda-
ton of the nations life. He was the
kings constant counselor. Hezekiah'S
decision to honor God was due to the
preaching of the prophet Micah, who
suddenly appeared in a public assembly
and in the presence Of the king de-
nounced the unholy alliance that had
been formed by "the mercerary priests
and the traitor prophets" The kings
conversion, that was started by the
preaching of Micah, was fostered and
| developed under the guidance Of Isaiah.
Judah no longer had to face as Its
supreme mission the keeping of their
| faith free from contamination of pagan
| faiths for 1t was confronted with the
menace of their faith being completely
absorbed by the Assyrians, who had
mastered the smaller cities Of the land
and placed them under their protection.
demanding a liberal tribute from them
Assyria sought to master the country,
so that they could pass down through
the coastal plains of Palestine and use
it's resources in an effort to crush Egypt,
its highest adversary.
Passover Restored.
Heszekiah started his religious refor-
nation by reopening the temple. He
summoned the members of the IL tribes
| to return to Jerusalem for the observ.
ance of the Passover upon the SECOND
month, because the work of restoring
the Temple, as we'll as sanctifying the
priesthood, could not be finished earlier
| The results of the Temple having beer
closed for Is years called for complete
renovation and many repairs. Dirt that
had accumulated In that period had tc
be removed. The courts and the whole
Temple had to be renovated. Hezekiah's
courage and spirit had aroused the
Levites. so that through their cooper
alton they made ready the Temple fol
