q. What do you regard as the pri-
mary interests Of the Christian
churchesf Should not the principal de-
nominations have representation in the
League of Nations?
A. Their first and final interest Is the
evangelization of the world. This car
ries with It peace and good will to all
men. Their mission is spiritual, fra
ternal, supernatural and necessitates
freedom from entangling political ALI
ances Of any kind. In some countries
the state church still survives as a lneri-
tage from the past. But experience does
not commend the union Of church and
state unless that union is sanctioned
by the practically unanimous consent of
all parties affected thereby.
No well disposed Christian or non
Christian can be Indifferent to the
great moral issues embodied in the
acting in behalf Of brotherhood and for
restraint of war. - :
I regard 1t as essential that all who
prize international peace and security
should unite for the realization Of
those great detectives. But they should
do so as citizens, not as religionlstS.
This Limitation applies to their repre-
sentation in the League. It is involved
IN political, economic, financial, terri
tor1al and technical matters which are
best handled by statesmen, not by theo-
logiAns or advocates of religion.
AS it is, churchmen belonging to the
constituent nations of the League are
already represented therein by their
appointed delegates. They are now in
position to contribute their moral
support, give advice, II so desired upon
matters OF principle and encourage
their. fellow citizens to theoretically
sustain the work of the League. But
these efforts, as ! see 1t, should mark
the boundaries of their activity as
churchmen.
Q. have recently been told that the
existence of God is illogical and with
out proof. AS 1ayman and a believer
in God should appreciate your answer
to this assertion.
A. THESIS agree in the main that the
existence Of God Is not demonstrable.
They take exception, however, to the
statement that what cannot be demon
| strated Is illogical. LIES necessities
repeatedly leap like hunted deer be-
vond the bounds of logic. The indi-
vidual who undertakes to limit his be-
liefs and activities to what he can prove
would no longer be q social being.
To be concrete, the ordinary scien-
tific view lists man as product Of ma
| ture. This implies that nature must
be equal to producing man. But man
surpasseS anything found in nature. He
is q moral being. having reasoning
| faculties and the vision of Imagination
He forms lofty, ideals and judges him
self in their light. His conscience acts

DISCUSSED BY
Dr.. S. Pdrkes C6dmdr.

as though it were the attorney general
of q higher power.
How, then, can nature. which is
merely q dead and impersonal system,
evolve such q being as man2 Since
personality alone can impart PERSONAL
ity, whatever exists in man is ascribcd
by responsible thinkers to his Creator.
He Is the image of his God, or he could
not be either rational or moral; and
nature is the instrument of that ra-
tional and moral order which further
reflects the presiding mind of the uni
verse. This is the argument which sur
passes logic and, while TOO large in its
scope for demonstration as we prac-
tice It, It is nevertheless wholly reason
able and defensible.
q. What basis is there for the belief
of immediate personal immortality
when we die? Clearly st. Paul declares
we are dead" or asleep" until the
final judgment. If we have immediate
immortality at death why then is there
to be final Judgment? In either case
will there be o consciousness Of individu-
ality after death, regardless of spiritual
form?
A. st. PauPs teaching on the future
life should be read in the light of his
argument contained in the fifteenth
chapter of his first letter to the church
at Corinth. There he scars like an eagle
above the. plain and visualizes the
bleSsednesS Of the discarnate who are
no longer subject to the corruptions of
the flesh.
Undoubtedly, he anticipated an i'm
mediate entrance into the life eternal,
or why should he say in another let
ter, For me to live is Christ and to
die is gain; and again, 1T am in a
aff0tt hnfNrfNef fxxyn HI xTtvN a
sire to depart and be with Christ. which
is far better" philippians i.21-23).
Consider the triumphant assurance
OF his words in his second letter To
the Corinthians and the first verse of
the fifth chapter, For we know that
If our earthly house of this tabernacle
were dissolved we have . building OF
God, a house not made with hands
eternal in the heavens"
Here immortality is no distant des-
tiny, separated from mortality by a long
Nirvana and awaiting the final judg-
ment. It is as though the apostle and
his fellow believers at once passed from
the veStibule into the palace. 1t should
be remembered that he and the Chris
tians of his time looked for their Lords
visible return while they were still or
| earth.
They saw him coming in trailing
clouds OF glory to judge the quick and
dead and make universal restoration
Of all things. This belief in q f1nal
judgment was part of the Jewish escha-
tology taken over into the New Tesla
ment gospel. Behind it and all other
theories of the future assize is a solemn
emphasis of our responsibility for deed.
done in the body. Old and New Tesla.
ment writer's alike insist that we mus
answer to God for the conduct of oul
personal life.

Cathedral, Rochester, England.

.0NE Of the most ancient cathedrals
in all England is that which stands
today at Rochester, for it owes its foun-
dation to Ethelbert, King Of Kent, who
founded the Church of st. Andrew Of
Rochester in the year 900. And when
we enter the church today by its north
western door we are treading upon
foundations of the apse Of this ancient
Saxon edif7ce.
. We hear but little of the history of
this structure for nearly five centuries
after its founding, but in LOTT William
the Conqueror appointed the famed
Gundulf to fill the see of Rochester,
and from that date the cathedral be-
came the scene of much architectural
activity. Gundulf commenced the en-
largement of the cathedral year after
his appointment and was energetic in
the work until his death. His sue
cesSor, Ernulf, was even more ambitious,
for 1t was he who added the chapter
