Sunday School Lesson

To believe in the hiStOricity of
Jesus, however, may mean relatively
little to the soul. 1t is not the fact
that Jesus lived on the earth at a
particular period that is important
for us but the manner of His life,
the teaching He gave to men, and
all the testing of His claims, and
the claims that have been made
for Him, in the light Of human ex-
perience. These claims concerning
Jesus mark Him off even from the
realm Of great men and notable
teachers.
He is represented to us as the
Way, the Truth, and the Life, the
one through whom men come TO
God. He is the Light Of the World.
He is Emmanuel, or Saviour, with
power to redeem and bless. He is
the supreme friend and companion
of all who would travel the heavenly
way and who would make their lives
spiritually true and noble.
Agree on the Essentials
Men may not agree about all the
details of the Gospel story. Their
critical judgment may estimate
various matters in different ways,
but when We come to these great
elemental veritie9 concerning the
character, teaching. mission, and
uniuueneSS of Jesus, we come to
what is almost unaniInity concern
ing Him. Nor is the greatness that
we assign Him the greatness that
we think of in other men.
Earthly estate. fame, glory,
achievement-au these things are
not at all in our estimate of the
Saviour King. We think of Him
as humble and lowly. We think Of
Him in terms of his supreme service
and his tragic sacrifice. We think
of Him as the man Supremely good,
willing to suffer for the sins of his
fellow men, and devoting all His
goodness to the unselfish purpose of
redeeming men and leading them
to God.
Whatever our metaphysics or
theories, we put that King
in human history in a place by Him
self. We bring Him reverence and
alteration, we yield Him our gifts
as did the Wise Men of old, be-
lieving that in Him the divine and
the human have met, that he has
revealed to the world the humanity
of God and the divinity that dwells
in man and that is His supreme
quest.

Disciples Of EpicuruS may be in
tereSted in knowing that the popu-
larity of Maurice Chevalier, starring
in THE Love Parade" Paramount's
lavish musical romance, has reached
such scope that a leading chain OF
New York tearooms has named a
delectable salad after the French
singing star.
The recipe for the "Chevelier sal
ad," an original concoction fash
toned by Emile Roth, formerly as
sistant to Oscar at the Waldorf
Astoria, is as follows:
Peel one large Bartlett pear and
soak in lemon juice for five minutes.
Remove core Of pear and replenish
with equal parts of cream and
rocquefort cheese, seasoned with a
dash of paprika. Embellish with let
tuce leaves, garnish mixture of
cream and rocquefort and add
French dressing when ready to
serve.

CHEVALIER REMAINS
AT THE CIRCLE

The supershows of 1880 brought
to the Circle theater last week Maui
rice Chevaler in The Love Parade,
which proved such a big attraction
that it has been announced this pic
ture will be held over for showing
during this week Supporting the
star are Jeanette Macdonald, Lillian
Roth and LupinO Lane.
THE Love Parade is the story OF
the affaireS d'amour of a queen OF
a mythical kingdom, played by
jeanette Macdonald, who falls in
love and marrieS a prince, Maurice
Chevalier. Their comical marital
life. the troubles of a prince conSort
and general life in the palace form
the background for this rollicking
musical romance.
There are ten songs featured in
this picture. They were written by
Victor Schertzinger, who is said to
have done the work in his home
high above Hollywood-at night.
1t is his method to work on his
music at night, laboring through the
QATk llOlIS anu SOlllClllAACS peioN
dawn. All his musical compositions
have their inception while he is at
his desk. it is said, working only with
pen and paper.
1t was Just such a procedure that
was followed in composing of such
numbers from The Love Parade
as Dream Lover" My Love Pa
rade," "Nobody'S Using 1t Now and
seven other popular hits.
This picture has been declared by
critics all over the country as 'the
greatest production since the advent
Of the talking pictures"
1t is a Paramount picture and was
directed by Ernst LubitSch.
The feature of the short subjects
is an all-color picture Song of the
Islands" Other talking acts and a
talking news reel will complete the
bill.

doubt the supreme triumph of the

bers i'll SHOW of Shows is pre-

VKTE start the new year with a
| w lesson appropriate to Christ
mas. dealing with the childhood OF
/ the Saviour-King No lesson could
be also more appropriate for New
Years. for if history had proceeded
with the accuracy which many peo-
pie like to assume for it, there
would be no difference between
Christmas and New Years.
Our calendar reckons the years
ostensibly from the birth of Christ,
so that if we had known the exact
day of the exact year in which
Jesus was born, each recurring New
Years day would be identical with
the birthday of Jesus. AS it is,
however, we celebrate the birthday
of Jesus on the 25th of December
and then week later we begin on
Jan. 1st the year reckoned oStenSlbly
from the birth of Christ.
What Is Really Vital
This lack of outward eXactitude
only goes to emphasize the impor-
lance of the spiritual and essential
as distinguished from the temporary
and non essential. If divine ProVi-
dence had intended the outward
facts concerning the life of Christ
to be at all as important as the
facts of His inward character, His
teaching, and His spiritual power to
save, one might be sure that we
should have had preserved for us
some means of greater certainty re-
garding these secondary things. The
whole circumstance ought to lead
us to see the necessity in our own
faith. and in our own teaching, OF
putting the supreme emphasis upon
the things that are clear and I'M
mistakable concerning the Saviour.
What were these things? First
Of all, His birth. There are those
who have challenged the historicity
of the story Of Jesus and who have
tried to make out that He is a myth
ical or a legendary figure like other
famous characters in the literature
of the ancient world To all that
criticism of the Gospel story surely
the best answer is found in a recent
statement Of the eminent scientist
EinStein.
Einstein is not known as re-
ligious leader, but has become ia
nous for his PRONUNCIATION of the
Relatively Theory. His Jewish up
bringing and background would
not create III his mind any favor
able bias in discussing the hiStori-
cal place and character Of Jesus;
yet this is what Einstein is re-
ported as saying:
He was asked: ITO what extent
are you influenced by Christianity"
And he replied: LAS a child I re-
ceived instruction both in the Bible
and in the Talmud. am Jew,
but I am enthralled by the lumi-
nous figure of the Nazarene." Asked
further whether he accepted the
historical existence of Jesus, he
replied:
"Unquestionably. No one can
read the Gospels without feeling
the actual presence of Jesus. His
personality pulsates in every word.
No myth is filled with such life.
How different, for instance, is the
impression which we receive from
an account Of legendary heroes of
antiquity like Theseus. Theseus
and other heroes of his type lack
the authentic vitality of Jesus
