that the leaders, priests, prophets and
king, were aroused and determined to
put him away. They had been indif-
ferent to the spirit of the sinfulAess
that was sweeping the nation downward
to destruction. jeremiah was arrested
for being a traitor and teacher Of false
doctrines Supported by the conviction
that Go dhad given him q divine reve-
.ation, jeremiah faced the court with
out fear. He made a defense that won
him support from certain laymen, who
rallied TO his defense. They pointed out
that Micah the Morasthite had prophe-
sled in the days of Hezekiah that Jeru-
salem's streets would be plowed up like
field. He had bean recognized as
prophet of God and was allowed to 60
without being punished for such state
ments. Their support convinced the as
sembly of the innocence OF the prophet.
who was given his freedom.
GeographerS would point to Israefs
central location as the cause Of the
nations undoing. Historians will find
in the developments on the battleheldS
of the east, the cause of Jerusalem's
overthrow. They will point to Nehu-
chadnezzar's triumph over Ninevah as
the cause of ISrael'S fall Jeremiah saw
it in the hearts of the nation. The
spiritual poverty, the normal corruption
and the religious apostacy of the nation
were the foundation of his prophecy
that the nation that he loved was
doomed. The spirit of God was upon
him. He sacrificed popularity and dared
to- obey God rather than man. We face
similar perils in our modern social,
political life. Let us return to live the
religion of Jesus as our only hope.

Q.-What is the significance Of the
angel, spoken Of in the New Testament,
in connection with st. Peters escape
from prison?
A.-Angelology and demonology were
marked features of the religious oellefs
of the New Testament age. The Jews
we're averse to the idea that God acted
directly in human affairs. therefore He
must needs have intermediates to ac-
complish his ends. So the Epistle to
the Hebrews says: who Tnaketh his
angels winds and his ministers name
of fire" Angels were thus conceived as
the agents for the fulflllment OF His
purposes. while demons were the instru-
merlts through whom their prince,
BeelZebub, carried out his sinister prof.
ects.
have a suspicion that the angel who
helped Peter to escape was q disguised
member of the Jerusalem Church. For
this angel" carried light. spoke Greek
or perhaps Aranaaic, was strong enough
to arouse the Apostle out OF heavy
slumber and to unfaSten the chalnS
with which he was bound.
Angels are introduced IS messengers
in the Old and New Testament nara
tiyes TO convey the assurance OF q
divine Providence which shapes the
lives Of men and controls human
events.
Q-Would you kindly explain the fol-
lowing quotations from the Book OF JOB
xix.25, as: "I know that my redeemer
liveth. Though worms destroy this
body, yet in my flesh shall see GOO.
A.-The margin of the Revised YER
sion reads "vindicator" instead OF re-
deemer," and is to be preferred. The
Hebrew word names that great being
who will establish ones innocence and
free one from unjust and cruel accusa-
tions. The same word Is used Of God
in His work of freeing the chosen ma
ton from the bondage Of exile.
Job anticipates the day when his
Righteousness will be amply vindicated
by his Creator. The Hebrew Of the
second passage you quote Is capable OF
more than one translation. The Re
vised Version renders it as follows:
And after my skin hath been de-
stroyed, vet from my flesh shall see
God ;" The word translated from"
may mean without" The verse as a
whole may be paraphrased, when !
have died under the ravages OF my dis
ease. shall then see God"
@. What is the explanation with
reference to the lie" In Romans iii.7:
For II the truth Of God hath more
abounded through my lie unto His
glory. why am also adjudged as a
sinner"
A. DR.. Sundays paraphrase of the
verse you quote Is as follows: IF, you
say, as In the case before US, the truth

Religious Questions
DISCUSSED BY
DR.. S. Porkes CGd,nan.

fullness of God in performing His
promises is only thrown into relief by
my infidelity, which thus rebounds to
His glory, why am I still like other
offenders brought up for Judgment as
sinner"
st. Paul's governing principle that
righteousness Is to be obtained by faith
in Christ and not by the performance
of works Of the law was represented
by his opponents as an immoral doc
trine. It's natural inference for them
is expressed by their saving: Sin the
more, 1t will only magnify Gods grace
more" The apostle does not stop to
discuss it, but only states that those
who PROFOUND such an unreasonable
judgment will themselves be subjected
to the just censure of God
In verse 7 he borrows from his OPP
ponents the premise that he himself
is to be judged as a sinner and that
his life has set OF Gods truth. There
is enough In this premise to serve his
purpose, namely, that If he for his part
cannot evade Judgment on the ground
that his sin Gas they think it) has been
can they evade that Judgment. 1t is
a good specimen of the apostles rab-
binical tendency when at close grips
with those who scorned his favorite
doctrine of justification by faith.
Q.-Will you kindly tell me where the
Roman Catholics. Episcopalians, Pres
byterians and Methodists get their
modes of baptism?
A. There is no account in the New
Testament of the baptism Of an in
FAINT, though 1t Is probable that the
households of Lydia, the Philippian
Tailor, Crispus and StephanuS included
young children. Polycarp. at his mar
tyrdom In 155 A. D.. claimed that he
had served Christ for So wears. which
indicates that he must have counted
his Christian service almost from the
day of his birth.
Seeing that the Jews circumciged
their children, 1t would be but natural
for teachers of the new religion to ap-
ply the outward sign of baptism to the
offspring Of confessing Christians be-
fore accepting them into the church.
Our Lord, by blessing little children.
clearly showed that they have an i'm
poFtant place in His kingdom.
There Is little doubt that the usual
mode of New Testament baptism was
by immersion. but when the early
church decided to admit infants into
her fellowship, sprinkling was practiced.
After all, the manner of the rite is
comparatively unimportant. so long as
the baptized disciple realizes it is a
sign of inward and spiritual grace, and
in the case Of infant baptism a solemn
covenanting Of the parents to conse-
crate themselves to the religious train
ing of the child.

THE domkerk, or cathedral, at
Utrecht, originally dedicated to ST.
Martin, is today a Protestant church.
1t was an outgrowth of the primitive
church founded in $50 by Dagobert I,
and of an abbey established by st.
Willibrod. The cathedral Of St Martin
was rebuilt after fire in 1924 and 200
years later 1t was nearly entirely re-
built. A great storm in 1914 crushed in
its nave and the faulty juncture of the
various parts has been sadly apparent.
After the destruction Of the nave the
choir and the tranSepts formed practi-
cally the entire building, with the tower
existing merely as a dismembered and
orphaned feature.
The tower was commenced in 1891
and completed 81 years later. 1t rises
from magnificently vaulted base. The
lower portion is rectangular, but the
