Ambition and jealousy over position,
place and power threatened to destroy
the unity of the apostolic college. Differ
ences, disputes and discussion as to
precedence which had filled the twelve
with divisions and discord were detected
by the Lord. 1t was evident that they
had not fully understood the Masters
teachings in reference to self-denial,
sacrifice and surrender If they were
to participate in His service. They had
not graSped the teachings of Jesus con-
corning the kingdom.
They did not object to their being
selected out of all the disciples to en-
joy the privileges of being, aff1liated in
the close intimacy of the Lord. Never
theless, there evidently was a secret
protest against the honors that Peter,
James and John had received from the
Christ. On their way back to Caper-
naum from their trip into Cesarea
Phillip, where Peter had confessed Him
as the Messiah and Son of the Living
God, the Master had detected the EVIL
dence of the presence of jealousy and
division among them. In an effort to

Christian Character ChiIdIike.
He surprised the twelve by making
the spirit Of the child to be the stand
ard Of Christian character. He re-
buked them for their differences by in
sisting that unless we have turned TO
God in the spirit of a child, we have
approached God in the spirit of a lit
tie one, which is one of trust, love and
obedience, then He can make us what
| we ought to be. If we are His follow
ers we ought not to allow the question
of precedent, position and power to en-
ter into our thought. Filled with the
spirit Of the child, we should desire to
show our love, devotion and loyalty to
Him by life of sacrifice, Self-denial
and surrender to Him and His service.
Jesus realized the value Of winning
the children. He knew that they could
be started easier on their Christian ca
| reer, the younger they were won. Sin
has not entered into q young person s
life, so that 1t would not be hard for
them to remove the chains of iniquity
A larger number can be won with the
same effort by seeking to save children.
A better type Of Christians can be de-
veloped by the conversion of children
than the winning of adults. The
churches that have specialized in win
ming men and women for Christ and
His Church have departed from His
program by winning the children,
whose characters can be nodded bet
ter and who can multiply their own
lives many times by winning others, If
they are trained along Christian lines

q. I have Just been reading the
Westminster Confession of Faith" the
official creed of the Presbyterian
Church. 1t affirms the sin of ali men
in Adam: infant damnation; the abb
solute foreordination of all events;
physical resurrection, and eternal tor
ment. Is it possible that these things
are still sincerely believed?
A. It is impossible to state to what
extent all the articles of this offlcial
creed are accepted by its nominal adj
herents. Doubtless, untold numbers of
them repudiate some of them as heart
lily as you do. Let us not forget. how
ever, that the Westminster Confession
is the inheritance of a bygone time,
and in no sense a modern formula.
1t Is also in numerous respects q dead

reasons rather than as an adequate
presentation of the beliefs of our Pres
byterian brethren. If you would know

world as it exists here and now. That
church is the friend of racial brother
hood, of philanthropy, of all human
izing reforms and movements. Its
members contain some of the noblest
benefactors of mankind Its golden roll
of saints, missionaries, scholars and
heroes is unexcelled in the annals of
cotemporary Christianity or Judaism.
So far as children are concerned
consider the educational and charitable
activities of the church you name. In
regard to predestination, consider again
its strenuous and ceaseless efforts to
advance those enterprises which its
members believe God would approve. I
have not yet found church which was
not infinitely better in practice than
some of its doctrinal theories suggest.
liberty, and the communion you name
has great liberty in its prophecy and
in its deeds.
@. Do you think it is possible to
keep the Ten Commandments?
A. Yes, If they are regarded as
nothing more than code for the regu-
lAtion of external behavior. Differ
ences of view and refinements of mean
ing have been attached to the Deca-
logue. But in the broad sense multi

1t is when we distinguish between its
formal and spiritual obedience that the
problem your question suggests becomes
acute. Mark in this connection what
Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount
(St. Matthew v.0. The same individ-
ual can keep and break the Ten Com
