@. Suppose a man had the power to
wipe out all sin, corruption and misery
and establish a heaven on earth, but
refused to do so. Would he not be
called fiend? According to the clergy,
God has that power, but does not exer-
else it. Then, how can He be the be-
neficent being you state he is?
A. AS a simple matter of fact, God
does not have the power to do as you
suggest In a household of many chill
dren numerous events take place which
are not ideal They occur, not because
|, the parents desire them, but because
the children are gradually learning the
truths of life. AS they are slow to learn
and still slower to apply what they
learn, occasionally the result is confu-
sion and distress.
Yet. since the father is the head of
the house, why does he not arbitrarily
Interfere and compel obedience and
peace? For the reason that the nature
of human personality and also that of
the moral order are both against him.
Likewise, God has to be patient, and in
suffering love teach His children, bear
ing with them and bringing them as
best He may to the light.
He is conducting the education Of
humanity on an infinitely greater scale
than earthly parents and under condi-
tions prescribed by the very nature OF
what He purposes to do. The choice
is, therefore, between the world as it Is
or no world at all. Which would you
prefer? I trust that this attempted
solution of the problem may prove help
full to you.
@. AS a Jew would appreciate your
opinion on what you think is the duty
of Christians toward non-Christian re-
ligions?
A. We should seek to complete them,
not to crush them; to enlighten their
darkness and increase their illuminate
ing power, to dispel their ignorance and
share their knowledge. They are Chris
tianitys allies, not its rivals. The good
in all religions ought to be mans COM
mon property, interactive in all churches
and superior to their creedal barriers.
Christians are convinced that Jesus has
an irreducible spiritual value for every
human being His gospel Is intended
to lift the incubus from the mind of
the race by Its proclamation of God as
the All Father, and the burden from
the heart of the race by its gospel Of
eternal life for all men In Christ.
Hence, we are impelled to preach that
gospel to the world. But the exclusive
temper which formerly characterized all
religions. my own included, has con-
siderably diminished during the last half
century The Jerusalem Missionary Con-
ference held two years ago marked a
new epoch in world evangelization and
in the Christian attitude toward other
religions.
@. Why does st. Paul so often adopt
a controversial tone In his letters?
A. Do not lose sight of the fact that
st. Paul was widely misunderstood, even
in the Christian Church, that much of
his teaching was cordially disliked by
his fellow believers and that a certain
group of them bitterly prosecuted him.
His reference to the Judaisers are ex-
planned by this treatment. Again, in
constructing his religious philosophy, he

FIRST zEPPELINS
 BUILT OCT. g, 1906
Dirigibles Reach TWenty.Fourth
 Anniversary of Invention

Friedrichshafen. Oct. g Rt-Today marks the twenty-fourth anniversary of the first successful flight of a zep- pelin which on October g, 1906 took place from Manzell on the Lake of Constance in the presence of the king and queen of Wuerttemberg, representatives of the Imperial Air forces and numerous officers of the army and navy.
 After Count Zeppelin previously had made two unsuccessful attempts to fly those dirigibles which have since become a prototype for air ships bearing his name, the per severing old count built another air. ship. On October 8, 1906, he took off without hitch and executed two trial flights that were the sensation Of the hour.
 This first unqualified success of the rigid, lighter-than-air type of a dir igible led to the ministry Of finance appropriatfng a fund Of 250,O0U marks for zeppelin lottery from the proceeds of which in addition to a subsequent appropriation of 500,Q0O marks by the Reichstag the con- struction of a floating hangar for the airship was assured, the hangar to remain the property of the govern ment for the exclusive use of Count Zeppelin.
 The dimensions of this pioneer of zeppelin flying was 12S meters long had diameter of 11.7 meters, a capacity of 11,300 cubic meters and was equipped with but two diamler motors of Is horsepower each. The present zeppelin Is 2S5 meters long, has diameter of 30.5 meters, a capacity of 105,000 cubic meters and Is equipped with five motors Of 510 horsepower each.
