TANEY LAW CLUB TOLD
OF accommodation
Church Action Likened to Depriv-
ing Defendant of Rights in Civil
Court Treason Case.

accommodation under church law
was likened TO the stripping of a de-
PENDANT of his rights in a civil court
in a case of treason in an address
delivered before the fancy Law Club
of Columbus University, 1914 Massa-
chusetts avenue, last night by Rev.
Theodore Hemelt of the Sulpician House
of Studies of the Catholic University
of America. The basic principles of
both canon and civil law are the same,
he told the law club both being based
on principles Of divine justice. He
suggested that the executive, the legis-
lator and the judge withdraw from the
modern furry of life and contemplate
the body of canon law that has vitality
affected governments for 1900 years. "
Mrs. Sadee Brawner. president of the
club, presided. William A. Roberts,
senior attorney examiner in the Inter
state Commerce Commission, faculty
adviser OF the fancy Law Club, intro
duced DR.. Hemelt. Papers were pre-
sented by Miss Margaret Shea on the
negligence of pedestrians at inteIsec-
tons controlled by traffic lights. and by
John H. Bishop who opposed the pro-
posed abolition of the trial by fury, as
a result of the Wickersham commissions
stand on prohibition cases.

Religious Questions
Dr.. S. P6rkes CGdmdn.

@. You have stated in your answers
that Christianity allows freedom OF
thought and also that it sets up a fixed
standard of life and conduct. How do
you reconcile such inconsistent state
ments?
A. In the realm of Interpretation all
sincere presentations of the New Tesla
menu Ialtn are welcome to unprej JUDGED
minds. But in the realm of conduct
that faith maintains fixed codes of right
and wrong. The old Testament prophets
were scornful of offerings and sacrifices
made by hypocrites and proflteers. Read
Isaiah, Micah, Hosea and Amos in proof
OF the foregoing statement. Those who
bemuse themselves by observing religions
outward forms at the cost of its inward
discipline are treated by biblical writer's
with tmpatience and rebuke.
ST. Paul and st. John approach the
Christian mysteries from different
standpointS and st. James follows a
third line peculiarly his own. Yet they
are one In the affirmation, This dc,
because 1t Is right"
There is no inconsistency here. On
the contrary, the teacher who supposes
his explanation of Divine Truth is the
solely correct one is grossly inconsistent
with that Truths manifold wisdom and
significance. But every explanation of
such truth must be judged by its
beneficial effect, or otherwise, on life
and character.
@. Will you kindly explain an
apparent discrepancy between the
Apostles Greed and the Gospel? The
creed says, He was crucified, dead, and
buried. He descended into hell" etc.,
whereas Christ said to the thief on the
cross, To-day thou shalt be with me in
Paradise" Do you really think that
Christ descended into hell? Why should
He? Personally do not believe in any
such place, but, admitting its existence,
was not ChriSt's sacrifice completed
with His crucifixion?
A. The phrase to which you object
Is not found in the Apostles Greed until
late In the fourth century, and its COM
mon use dates much later than that
period. Why it was eventually included
Is dif1lcult to explain. One reason may
have been that men felt the BENEFITS of
Christ's grace should be made known to
all mankind, dead as well as living. This
would seem to be the meaning of Peter
Ill, 10. But DR.. Rendel Harris has re-
Gently suggested that a slight adjust
ment of the Greek text would make
this passage refer to Enoch's journey
to the lower world as described in the
apocryphal Book of Enoch."

DISCUSSED BY

In any event the English word hell
conveys quite q false meaning to the
modern mind. The Latin inferna or
inferos and the Greek katotata should
be translated by the word Hades (also
a Greek world, which has the general
sense of underworld" That under
world might include paradise" Gin the
sense of place of blesSedness) and
"gehenna" Tin the sense of a place OF
torment). See Christ's parable OF the
rich man and Lazarus in st. Luke XVI.
1881 revised translation). Christ and
the penitent thief could, therefore, be
in both hades and paradise at the same
time, but not in hell and paradise at
the same time.
The phrase in question, however, is
a difficult one, and many churches
have dropped 1t altogether. Others
leave 1t optional with the off1ciating
minister and his congregation whether
to repeat it or not. Still others per-
NIT the alternative rendering, the
place of departed spirits" In the older
theology the descent was regarded as
a part of the total scheme of our
Lords redemption: His humiliation had
to be complete in order that His exalta-
ton might be perfect.
@. Why did Moses, who gave the
wholly ignore the insanitary habit Of
cultivating a long and flowing beard,
with its susceptibility to germ collect
ing?
A. Have you forgotten the advice
twice given in the Old Testament:
"Tarry at Jericho till your boards be
grown?" To the Oriental these natural
products of the human face divine,
which you scarify, signified manhood's
maturity, wisdom and strength. Ortho-
dox Jews cling to these ancient mean
ings. Hence the whiskers.
But other times, other customs.
Ancient Greeks and Romans practiced
the clean shave with notable excep-
tions, as in the OSCILLATIONS of Homer,
Socrates and other classic celebrities.
The bare faced man Is triumphant to-
day. But who knows whether tomor-
row will not usher in BurnSideS, Dun
drearys and Van Dykes? Charles
Kingsley denounced the beardless man
as enthusiastically as you applaud him.
The Arab tribes lived In torrid heat.
Yet they affect the old-fashioned beard.
and their wl1ite-haired sheiks mounted
on fiery steeds are a sight for the gods
So runs the checkered tale and with
it the BARRIERS rise or fall. Do you
prefer Lincoln clean shaven? 1 per-
sonally do not, but perhaps lack good
taste.
