CrOpLGnd Abbey, England.

The name Croyland signifies "a desert
fenny place" and was peculiarly APP
propriate to the island and its sur
roundings in its primitive state The
monks, with incredible industry, united
the island to the continent of Britain
and covered it with Stupendous works
which have been the admiration of
later generations.
The conventual buildings after the
monks were expelled fell into decay,
and in the seventeenth century were al
most destroyed during the Cromwellian
wars. The remains are still highly in
teresting, but include little except some
of the piers of the eastern portion of
the monastery and part of the nave and
aisles of the church. The south piers
and arches of the church, and a portion
of its clerestory still stand, and the
north aisle of the nave has been re-
stored for use as parish church of the
Protestant establishment.
Although consisting only of this small
portion of the abbey church, the pres
ent church is spoken of as "a COM
modious and very handsome edifice." 1t
has low, massive tower. and its west
front is highly enriched with orna-
mental sculpture. Upon the front still
remain several statues. including those
of Ethelbald, st. Guthlac and 81, Bar

Religious Questions
DISCUSSED BY
Dr.. s. P0rkes Cadm6n.

New Testament as his guide, can say
that the work of Jesus was confined TO
His revelation of the Father. He added
to that glorious unwilling the remark
able saving, II am the Way, the truth
and the Life" This statement was
typical of many others deaiing Wpn
His conception of Himself, and those
who Fundamentally believe and act
upon it are spiritually transformed by
its active application.
n WHY do Christian churches thrust
their religion on the peoples OF lor-
eign lands who already have religions
of their own? Should we not limit
missionary work to the backward sec
tions of our own country and its pos
sessions?
A. If we did there is ample room
for home evangelism. TWo-thirdS OF
the 5000. 600 mountaineers OF the APP
palachian range who represent the
purest Anglo-SaXon stock on this con-
tinent are practically unreached by re-
ligion and education.
Five million of the II 900. 600 Negroes
in the United States are unchurched.
The EskimoS of Alaska need the civil
lizing benefits of the Gospel, and the
Christians of the Panama Zone are
making a gallant effort to establish
cant. so per cent of our white popula-
ton is either indifferent to religion or
takes its claims very lightly. Truly the
domestic field is white for the harvest
But the American churches conspicu-
Gus for their spiritual service abroad
do most for this republic. Nor should
they even consider the surrender of the
universally of their mission to man
kind. Whatever good inheres in any
religion should be pooled for the spirit
ual culture of the race as a whole. We
need not fear the outcome of this gen.
erous policy. Christianity redeemed
our ancestors from barbarism. What
it did for them it can do for the ma
lions which still sit in darkness and the
shadow of death.
AS a supernatural faith the New
Testament evangel must be transmitted
to those who need it most, whose souls
hunger is of necessity not of choice.
The Christian missionary is a world
servant He recognizes neither geo.
graphical boundaries nor social anc
blood distinctions. The term foreign"
is meaningless to his mind In his es-
innate the earth is one, and the peace,
Joy and bleSsedness of Gods brother
hood belong equally and alike to all its
inhabitants.

O. Do you base your beliefs as a
religious teacher on any particular
theology? If so, which?
A. I regard theology as a growing
science. How can it be reckoned other
wise? II 1t does not grow, it Is dead.
Nothing having vitality fails to expand.
to take on new forms and cover fresh
areas. The same is true Of the physical
sciences. The two doctrinal funda-
mentals I accept are GD the revela-
ton of Gods Being and Nature in Jesus
Christ. and (2D Christ's lordship in
the church and in the world.
Because l thus believe, feel obli-
gated to emphasize the love Of the
Father through service for all men and
loval obedience to Christ's rule. That
position is as enduring as God and
Christ are, and yet sufficiently flexible
to meet the constantly changing con-
ditions OF human life. Any theology.
ancient or modern, which sustalns 1t
is to that extent my theology.
I care not whether it be Hebrew,
Catholic or Protestant. The ever basic
question is: Does this particular method
of interpreting religion confirm one IN
his determination to live for the Well
being and ennoblement of his fellow
men and women. It is perhaps need
less to ada t1aG an embracing dlIlluNC
toward every servant of God enrtcheS
ones concepts of Him and strengthens
ones faith in His redemptive purpose
As expressed in Jesus Christ
O. Is it a correct Interpretation OF
Christ's life and work to say that He
simply revealed God as Father and
made no claim for Himself?
A. The centrally of Jesus as the
Christ of God pervades the New Tesla
ment and is its distinctive feature in
comparison with the Old Testament.
To be sure, He manifested Himself In
the gospels with directness and urgency.
You may recall that He commissioned
His disciples and constantly stressed
the fa6 that union with Himself gen.
Grated in them a spiritual authority
which should overcome the world
Devotion to Christ, faith in His mes
sage and in the redemption which His
death effected for mankind, are re-
peatedly emphasized in solemn terms
as the things needful for time and
eternity. -.
Do you suppose that if st. Peter, st.
Paul and st. John reappeared on earth'
thew would change their attitude to-
ward the Evangel which Christ thus
authorized? think not. No minister
orthodox or otherwise, who accepts the
