Religious Questions
DISCUSSED BY
DR.. S. PGrkes CGdmGn.

embodied the perfect ideal Of persuasive
affection which you and I must en-
deavor to secure. This does not mean
that He was complacent with open
wrongdoing. On the contrary. He de-
nounced 1t with words that burned and
made Him bitter and relentless enemies.
But gentlenesS was His norm; COM
passion for the weak and erring HIS
habit.
He was so averSe to pious pretenSions
that He shocked the ardent religionists
Of His time. You will also note that He
seldom interviewed unless asked to do So
Neither are you required to be busy
body any more than prig. Naturalness
is the secret of every successful spiritual
adventure. Hearts open, consciences
respond and wills submit to the steady
approaches OF good life and patient
comprehension. When the moment is
ripe you can speak the word which is
as nail fastened in sure place.
@. We are told that we must sur
render the reality Of the God Of the
Bible. What do you say to that
proposition?
A. Everything depends on what is
meant by the God of the Bible" If
this phrase refers to the Being who
commanded Abraham to slay Isaac
and the Israelites to exterminate the
Amalekites, few believers, Jews or
Christians, would accept such COM
mands as indicative of the God they
adore. But what of the majestic con-
ceptions of God in the Hebrew prophets?
For example. in the fortieth chapter of
Isaiah. Consider the rounding out of His
Self-revelation in those inspired guides
to spiritual reality. Reflect that as
Bishop Gore shows in his book, Be
lief in Cod" Jesus presupposed the
illuminating writings of those prophets
and His teaching about the universal
Father Of all men completed theirs
The net result Is that the ideal of
God is elevated in the Bible to an
inf1nitude Of benevolence and rectitude.
AS the Christ, Jesus embodied that
| ideal.
Since when has it been unreal? If
define God as the personal spirit,
entirely good, who in holy love creates,
sustains and ordains all that is, only
reproduce the Biblical concept Of God
as accepted by Christendom and Jewry
at large. But we must not seek the
| Biblical concept of God in the early
stages OF its emergence. That is illogical
ana unsound. Its conSummation is in
the mind and revelation of Jesus. The
man who says this concept is unreal
denies Gods existence. For If He is not
personal spirit He is not God in any
ineligible sense. Hence the Biblical
idea OF His being, taken as I have stated
1t, affords us more rational explana-
ton Of life and experience than any
suggested substitutes offer. Whatever
achieves this end will never be surren-
uered by reasonable and aspiring men
and women.

@. What is the best evidence that
one is a true Christian?
A. Growth of the soul through Chris
tian discipline. To achieve that there
must be humility and confession before
the new life in Christ can become
operative.
Divorcing self from fond conceits,
vain desires and vicious habits is not
an easy matter either for the goddess
or the conventionally religious. Yet
in any effective approach to the Father
through Christ we should listen rather
than speak, and be humble recipients
who hear solely to obey.
This requires q contemplation the
depth and significance of which demand
every energy of the entire man. Pere
Lallemant in his devotional manual
Prayer and Intelligence" declares that
without contemplation no great ad-
vance will be made in virtue, and we
shall never be able to help others
toward it."
The Christian should keep his inward
vision fixed on the divine perfection.
the divine love, the divine salvation
whereby the dross of his lower being
shall be purged away. Thus can he
meet the crises of life through reliance
upon the mercy which endures forever
That is the rule of Christian progress
into ChristlikenesS.
Too often our intercourse with heaven
chiefly consists in asking for what we
want, careless of whether it is what we
need for the development of our souls
Suppose one followed this course in
social life and became a mere suppli-
cant, with everybody else the victims OF
ones ceaseless requests and importu-
nit ha tNn
should understand that the teaching OF
Jesus is our surest guide and that what
He establishes for the Christian life is
not only divine wisdom, 1t is also com
mon sense.
Q. I have recently joined the church
and feel that I ought to plead with
others to join it. How can I go about
this?
A. BY being wholesome, manly, fair
minded and sympathetic. Live to the
limit that which you profess and pro-
fesS nothing you do not strive to attain
Manifest the spirit of unSelf1sh service
Do not preach at your acquaintance
as If they were public meeting.
Ex-senator Pepper stated the basic
answer to your inquiry when he said
If your common sense tells you thai
friendship is by far the greatest power
in the world, it will also tell you thai
the essence of Christianity is mature
friendship with Jesus Christ, the kline
of friendship which leads to imitation
of Him."
Read the Gospels to find what 6
friend He was to all sorts and condi.
tons Of men and women. He did no'
patroniZe them, nor put on superior
airs, nor parade His excellencies. HI
