the grace unto salvation Of the new
dispsnsation.
@. What Is your construction Of st.
Johns Gospel, Watts?
A. st. John. MA: ."No man can
come to Me except the Father which
hath sent Me draw him.
st. John, WIGS: Therefore I said
unto you. that no man can come unto
Me, except it were given unto him of
my Father
The Greek word translated ito
draw Is q very expressive one. In
the Septuagint version of the Old
Testament, jeremiah xxxia, reads:
With loving kindness have drawn
thee" This passage describes the gen.
tie and gradual capture of the soul
accomplished by the gracious influence
Of God upon the inner life Of man.
The process Is explained In st. Johns
Gospel, Was, as a teaching by the
spirit Of God I'm the prophets it is
written, and they will be all instructed
of God; every one who has listened
to the Father and learned from Him
comes to Me-" Verse IS shows that we
are enabled to accept Christ and to
form adequate Judgment of Him only
as we surrender ourselves to the guild
ance of the spirit of God.
@. Which Is the correct translation
of our Lords Prayer: Forgive us our
trespasses as We forgive those who
trespass against u.s." or Forgive us our
debts as we forgive our debtors?
A. In the Jucan account of the
Lords Prayer (St Luke, xi2-4} the
petition reads: Forgive us our sins;
for We ourselves also forgive every one
that is indebted to u.s." st. Matthew
presents the petition in this form:
Forgive us our debts, as we have for
given our debtors" The form For
give us cur trespasses, as we forgive
those who trespass against u.s." is used
by the Anglican Book of Common
Prayer. st. Matthews version is the
one upon which many scholars rely as
containing the original words Of Jesus.

@. Why is there no record in the
Bible of any Of the 10 disciples having
asked Christ about heaven after His
resurrection Surely they must have
wanted to know OF it.
A. The only answer that I can sug-
gest about a subject upon which pro-
rouncement Is manifestly impossible Is
that the disciples felt that where
Jesus was heaven became real, and
that so long as they could commune
with Him personally, they were not
curious to know more about the many
mansions reserved for all doors of
righteousness. Moreover, our Lords in
tercourse did not encourage such in
quiries He practiced strict economy
OF reference to the paradise beyond. It
was enough for His followers that
where He was they would also be, both
In this world and the next.
@. What was the righteousness Christ
referred to in st. Matthew, Hills?
A. The best translation Of ST. Mat
thew Hills Is as follows: This Is how
we should fulfill our duty to God"
Such is the evangeiist's report of the
important reason why the Master jour-
neyed to the Jordan to be baptized by
st. john In their Lives" OF Jesus
Klausner and Middleton Murray insist
that He submitted to the rite because
of His consciousness Of sin. ~
There Is not the slightest support for
this assertion either in the Bible or In
the experience and tradition of the
church. Our Lord regarded the cere-
mony as one wherein He publicly dedi-
Gated Himself to His divine mission.
It affirmed before the throngs gathered
to st. Johns ministry that a greater
than the Baptist was now manifested,
who would usher In that reign of jus
tice and holiness which surpassed all
existing ideals OF righteousness.
Jesus also included III His baptism's
scope and meaning the motivation OF
the remarkable religious awakening Of
which the Baptist was the center, and
by so doing linked the last of the
