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

Q. What is the Gideon Society? I
recently found q Bible in my room at
a hotel in the Middle West inscribed
with the name of that society. Can
you tell me anything about it?
A. The Gideon Society was organ
lied In 1899 at GAINESVILLE, Wis. to
convey the teachings of Holy Scripture
TO commercial travellers and transient
guests Nearly a million copies of the
Bible have been thus distributed in the
hotels of the United States and Canada
and an additional number in China.
Japan and Korea
This society has placed at the dis
poSal OF travellers the matchless values
OF the worlds greatest religious litera-
ture, the Bible, so that he who runs
may read.
@. Our clergyman has expressed his
disbelief in the virgin birth and in
Christ's miracles. I thought then. as
l have always tried to think, that these
were non-eSsentials and would not
disturb me. But facing these questions
squarely for the first time I find myself
deeply disturbed. 1t does matter
TO me very greatly that Christ may have
been born in the ordinary way and it
wounds my sensibilities to think that
He might have thus come into the
world.
What is your own position on these
matters?
A. If were you I would not react
so emotionally toward what your clergy
man says about the sacred mystery of
the incarnation. You do not have to
accept his Interpretation of that august
event, nor stake your peace of mind on
any theological opinions he may hold
Exercise your freedom in the matter
and believe what your heart and con-
science dictate about it.
After all, the supreme issues are that
Christ entered the human realm
through the gateway of motherhood
and that in Him God so stopped to man.
and man so reached up to God, that an
eternal meeting of God and man was
made in Mary's blessed son.
Moreover, every soul is an emanation
OF the divine over-soul, spark of the
everlasting flame. and in this sense
distinct creation of God. Keep in mind
ChriSts indisturbable enforcement as
the Saviour and Prince of humanity's
spiritual renewal. Quite apart from
disputatious doctrines about His origin
as member of our race, He is its ever
present and reigning Lord in you and
in countless others who know Him by
faith and with Thanksgiving.
~ AAOW w yOu SuppOhC NIOu NlSWo
us poor miserable sinners? 1t Is diff
cult for me 10 believe that He has
any use for the men and women l
know, myself included.
A. Let us look at the situation in the
form of a parable.
A traveller passes through a country
which is cruelty bleak. barren and pow
erty stricken. He says: Surely this
is one OF Natures penal settlements,
and heaven pity the miserable victims
/ who have to scrape these rocks to post
pone starvation!
Here are no fertile plains to nur-
ture crops, no favoring climate to ripen
fruits, no natural products for the scrv-
ice Of man. The few inhabitants arc
| underfed, gaunt and scattered; i'll
clothed. Ill housed, doomed to pauper-
dom ana premature death" He passes
on, content with his conclusion.
But another traveller with scientific
knowledge visits the same unhappy
land. HIS trained observation recog-

luton when much of the church was
destroyed, all of it's records burned and
its membership sorely depleted. A re-
construction after the war produced a
church edifice which was in use until
1888.
In that year the present structure
was completed, a structure built in ac-
cordance with the American church
style of the latter part of the eighteenth
century. The building is 100 feet ir
depth; two tiers of windows on each
side, five in each tier, gave ample light
and ventilation, while in the rear wall
is inserted a large Venetian window
that excites the admiration of all who
attend here. The interior is plain but
attractive and much venerated by the
Presbyterians of New Jersey. The old
arrangement of the pews and pulpit is
maintained to this day. The congrega-
ton has also preserved the old original
bell purchased 25 years after the erec-
ton OF the second church, recast in
1876 and still today calling the congre-
cation together for worship in the old

y. l was taught to believe the Bible
is infallible, and my wife still believes
that, but / don't. We therefore dis
agree about what to teach our three
children. We should like to have your
views on the matter
A. Teach them nothing about the
Bible or anything else which is con-
mistake to take child at its most i'm
tradicted by known facts. 1t is a gross
presSlonable period and stamp upon it
something which is either false or only
half true, as though it we're the whole
truth. An adolescent thus mistreated.
Tor 1t is nothing short of that, is then
open to the influence and argument of
agnostlcism or even atheism dressed up
to pass as common sense" Too often
youngster suffers untold agony of
mind in readjusting his religious outlook
after such training by his parents.
SO do not dogmatize to your children
ABOUT this glorious literature. Intro
ouce them to those passages and books
OF Holy Scripture which are suitable for
tnelr years, emphasizing the teachings
OF CHRIST about children and their rela-
ton to the Father of ALL

First Presbyterian Church, Ne,vark, N. J.

TINE first fully organized Church
of Christ within the State of
New Jersey dates back to 1865,
Il but the number of its support
ers was only about four or five
families, and the arrival of Gov. Philip
Carteret with his retinue of servants
and diSSolute gentlemen did little to in
crease the membership. However, a
small wooden structure, So feet square,
was erected and this was the real First
OF Newark. 1t was a church first, but
1t was also town house and a sort of
fort offering protection against the In
dams.
In the year 1716 plain stone church
took the place of the wooden structure.
and though it lacked ornamental detail
and was only 40 feet square, there were
many who doubted that the town of
Newark would ever be large enough to
support so stupendous a structure.
Thirty-seven years later King George
III granted a charter greatly strength
ening the standing of the little organ
