bert Frankau. Harper & Bros
This is the first time-isn't it?-that
the Lounge lizard" has had book OF
his very own-a story all about himself.
Well, he deserves it--deserves 1t and
gets its royally-at the hands of Gilbert
Frankau. Hilarious satire, at moments
boisterous burlesque, over the adVen-
lures of this modern social contraptlon,
the gigolo. Here is an invention calcu-
lated to make any reader forget all the
peSky things that ought to be forgotten
in the troubling world. Yet now ana
then the laughter peters out, or dwin-
dies to a grin, before the obtruding TACT
that this little dancing gentleman Is.
after all, one of the natural products OF
a society, redundantly temale-ard
questing. Comedy, turning deftly INTO
farce and back again, has fun sway
here in a book of innocent seeming THAT
is made for laughter and good fun and
touch of sympathy.

Q. Where in the Scriptures do we
find the statement that the tender
branch of the fig tree and its young
leaves are a sign Of approaching Sum-
mer?
A. The passage to which you refer
occurs in st. Marks Gospel, xiii %,
and reads as follows: Nov from this
fig tree learn her parable; when her
branch Is become tender and putteth
forth its leaves, We know that the Sum-
mer is nigh"
The parable in which it occurs is
one of those beautiful parallels with
nature which the Master frequently
employed for His profoundest leach
ings. 1t illustrates the secret yet IN
vincible coming of Gods kingdom. Az
the unseen breath of Summer fills the
land with life, JOY and gladness and
makes the barren trees of yesterday to
blossom anew, so the eternal spirit of
God prepares the hearts Of men to re-
ceive their Lord.
c. How can theology change If it
deals with a changelesS God? I have
not found an answer to this simple
question.
A. You should have found it, for the
answer is quite as simple as the ques-
ton. Ideas of Deity are often errone-
GUS, because they are the creation of
human thinking, which conceive His
attributes so arbitrarily as to battle
those who seek His aid. Take the
nature Of God revealed by Christ as the
All Father, and compare it with the
God of Justice, vengeance and terror
found in theological works which re-
fiected the passions and prejudices of
their authors.
1 think you will readily perceive that
the changelesS Deity whom they mis-
represented demanded a changing
theology in order to correct the utterly
false and misleading notions of mis-
guided men.
Q. What is the good of praying? My
prayers have never been answered. nor
have the prayers of many friends of
mine, and they were not merely sup
plications for material benefits, but
for mercy, relief from pain and death
| when young. feel Inundated by pray
ing and call myself coward for daring
to ask for things.
A. The stumbling block in your ques-
ton is that it assumes prayer IS merely
a matter of asking for things we greatly
desire. The idea that God ought to
give us whatever we want fatty con-
tradicts Biblical teaching on prayer.
We often fail to realize that God hears
countless petitions which He cannot
grant because He has elected to govern
the universe according to a settled pur-
| pose. Undoubtedly, distressing stu
| atoms will arise to confront His rule
If we ask Him to change those situ-
atoms it should be with the distinct
understanding that what He wills to
do is our chief good.
More, what He vouchsafes for you
and me has to be consistent with His
total plan. He cannot violate His obli-
cation at other points than those we
cover For example. we pray to be re-
Geved from pain. Yet is it not much
more beneficial in the end that by the
very pressure of pain God compels COM
| petent men to investigate its causes and
endeavor to arrest them? OF course,
