Religious Questions
DISCUSSED BY
DR.. S. Parkes Cddman.

pagan Justice to give an account OF his
career as an apostle of the cross. It
certainly thrills the souls of intelligent
people to understand that Europe's
civilization is inseparably connected
with the spiritual history of Self-ex-
patriated and prosecuted jew.
His Astounding Joy, contagious faith
and resistless love cannot be severed
| from that illumination. Many great
mystics have had similar visitations, for
which mere human speech is an made
quate medium. These are built into the
very fabric of the church and they set
the pace for regenerated men and
women and a higher civilization. Note
that the apostle kept silence for IA
years about his entrance into the realms
of bliss. Would that all who claim such
experiences would emulate his example!
@. Should the Bible be read in homes
or public schools without first being
revised? I can point to many stories
in the Old Testament which are moth
ing short of indecent, and should be
barred from the mails. The story of
Joseph and Mrs Potiphar, for example,
Is fine piece of snappy fiction, is 1t
not?
A. One must admire your industry in
having gone through the Old Tesla
ment to find its indecent stories! What
amaZes me Is that your fine tooth
comb did not manage to bring to light
something else besides them. Of course,
we usually find what we are looking
for, but so long as bookstalls flourish
why go to this Book solely for "snappy
stories?
Let it be granted that the Bible con-
tains matter which ought not to be read
to children of tender age. What does
that prove? Simply that the parent and
public school teacher will presumably
use the same discretion in selecting bib
lical passages for this purpose they
display in selecting a passage from
Shakespeare.
1 happen to know that in a certain
town the following passages have re-
Gently been read to the children in
their school assembly Psalm xix, Psalm
xxXiv. Psalm lXv, Proverbs viii, Isaiah
ly, Matthew V, 1-16 Luke vx, 11-32;
Romans xii and I Corinthians xiii. Is
there anybody outside An insane asylum
who could reasonably object to a single
word in any of those selections? The
chief revision that the Bible needs is the
one it will always receive from any man
or woman of good taste who is guided
by circumstances.
When you were reading about Joseph
and the wife of Potiphar it Is pity
you did not observe that the motive Of
the story is not to portray the weakness
of woman. but the purity, strength
and highmindedneSs of a young man
who put God and conscience before the
demons of lust and betrayal. Cut off
your hunt for the putrid and read this
noble literature for its eternal values.

@. Kindly explain the real meaning
of Christ's Ascension. I am a believer,
but this part o. His life has often puz-
| zled me.
A. It is not necessary 70 dwell on the
details OF this event, nor can they be
| literally interpreted without inperiling
its spiritual significance. Your ac-
quaintance with the apostolic writings
teaches you that under all possible cir
cumstances Jesus was dominant. the
whether they were friendly or antago-
nistic. His return to the Father as
related IN the New Testament con-
firmed His lordship and made it SUI
preme in the seen and unseen realms
of life.
You may ask why such lordship was
necessary. The answer Is, experience
demonstrates that not even the best
good sense of the race can construct an
authoritative code o: religion and
morals for its own guidance, The
natural goodness Of man which con-
tributes to our common civilization
may be gratefully acknowledged, but
its deficiencies should be candidly
avowed. Christ's creative force in the
realm of the Christian virtues, espe-
cially those of self-sacrifice and zeal
for the redemption of life's desperate
conditions, emanates from His indisturb-
ance and power as the rightful ruler
of mankind.
There is hereafter no need for us
to dread evils mysterious potencies,
whether in this world or the next.
Our goal has already been won by the
risen and assembled Jesus, and He oc-
cupies till we come. This, as I see 1t,
is the solution Of the riddle Of the
universe and also the meaning OF the
elevation of the crucif1ed Redeemer to
His eternal sovereignty.
@. To whom is St Paul referring in
II Corinthians, xii2-5?
A. To himself. Here is the apostles
testimony: II knew a man In Christ
above IA years ago whether in the
body I cannot tell; or whether out of
the body cannot tell: God knoweth).
such an one caught up to the third
heaven where he heard unspeak-
able words, which is not lawful for
man to utter"
The blended reticence and candor of
the passage show that st. Paul was re-
lating a unique personal experience.
The malady which tormented his flesh
also refined and intensified his spiritual
visible and the invisible was momen-
tarily removed and he tasted Of 1.-THE
powers of the world to come"
He wisely abstains from the details
of this tranScendental hour with his
Maker. But 1t was translated into the
noblest mission, save one, ever under
taken for mankind. 81 was not dis
obedient to my heavenly vision" he ex-
claimed when summoned to the bar of

nal Savior as we'll as our desire to be
saved by approaching the Father and
seeking in the Lords name salvation
through His blood, shed for us upon
Calvary's cross.
While Christ did secure our salvation
upon the cross by intervening upon our
behalf, He is anxious to preserve us and
help us live as sons of God. Our recon-
citation is the guarantee of our being
glorif1ed with Him. He longs to pre-
sent us holy and without blemish and
unreproachable before Him" in glory.
This calls for the fellowship of the
Holy Spirit that we will consider In
next weeks study. There is no limit to
what He can do for us if We will let
Him have His way in our life and labor.
Our Christian life should be one of con-
slant progress, SO that we can grow i'll

us He should mold our hearts until We
become like Him and all people recog-
