Sunday School Lesson
BY
Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson.

word, therefore" in the great commits
sion implies at least that the resurrec-
ton had given a basis for His claim
that "all power is given unto me In
heaven and in earth" The resurrection
gave weight to His claims and added
force to His commands for all of His
followers to enter the missionary field
to help win the world for the Lord
Jesus Christ. The scope of the commits
sion revealed that Jesus had removed
the limitation of racial and national
boundaries. Christianity differs from
all other religious movements by remov-
ing these almost insurmountable bar
rierS to a worldwide kingdom and
brotherhood. If Jesus had not demon
Strated that He was the Son Of God
by His triumph over death, the scope of
His program would call for His being
included among those personalities
whose character rises above that of
their fellows, like the lofty mountain
peaks rise above the plains. His pro-
gram of worldwide and universally
satisfying religion is a testimony to the
Deity of the Founder of the Christians
faith. If He had not risen from the
dead, this commission would never have
gripped His church and controlled the
labors of men through the centuries.
When Jesus ordered His followers to
evangelize the world and enlist the
newly made disciples by calling upon
them to make naturalization vow of
their faith He required that they
should be trained to observe His teach
ings. Christianity does not commence
and end with our being enrolled in the
fellowship of the church Of the Living
God, for it calls for His disciples to
live life in loyal obedience to the prin-
cipleS, precepts and practices of the
Lord Jesus. Only those who are trying
Holy Spirit are His followers. If Gods
grace has given them life from above
through their repentance, faith and
confession of Christ Jesus, then they
must prove 1t by their life and labor.
Through the centuries of Christian
history the followers of the Risen Lord
have found help through His presence
with them. The unfinished task can
only be done when all of the followers of
Christ Jesus, realizing His unseen pres
ence, heed His commands that call for
them individually to share in evangeliz-
ing all nations, enlist all His followers
and educate them to observe His teach
ings. Every problem pressing for solu-
ton would disappear and be solved II
men would live In accordance with
Christ's commands. There Is not a
question between employers and en-
ployes, or between nations and races
that would not disappear when all men
tice the principles of brotherhood
taught by the Lord Jesus. AS long as
there remains an unsaved soul we have
an untitled mission. We have q re-
sponsibility to carry the gospel of the
Risen Lord to every creature.

BIBLE CLASS GROUP
LISTS PASSION PLAY
Association to Present Frieburg
Production First Staged in Ger
many Nearly 700 Years Ago.

The Organized Bible Glass Associa-
ton of the District of Columbia has
secured for the last week in October
the Frieburg Passion Play" This
company with Adolf FasSnacht as its
leader is making the first tour of
America. Their home is in Freiburg
Baden, Germany, where the play was
first presented in 1862, nearly TOO years
ago The players have been in many of
the principal cities of the United States.
The play will be at the Washington
Auditorium every night for a week with
possibly some natinees. A chorus of
some 300 voices will be built up here in
the city and large orchestra will be
used In addition to the organ. There
will be some 200 persons in the cast.
and more if stage arrangements will
accommodate larger number.
The Organized Bible Glass ASsocia-
ton is composed of classes from
churches throughout the District of
Columbia. DR.. Homer j. Councillor of
the Calvary Baptist Church is president
Of the association and with Page NICK.
Etchison, executive secretary, will have
charge Of details In the presentation of
the play.
The players will arrive about a week
in advance to adapt the settings to the
local stage. They carry several car
loads of scenery and will attempt to
present this wonderful religious drama
to the very best possible advantage. The
play Is about three hours long and is

Religious Questions
DISCUSSED BY
DR.. S. PGrkes Cadmd,r.

religion based on mystery Is for that
reason defective. But this does not
necessarily follow.
There are only two possible attitudes
toward life's ineffable mystery: We car
accept it and do nothing. or we can try
to solve it. Many solutions are offered
to the world, and all have their merits
and dement's. But do not agree that
the Christian solution is lacking either
IN intelligence or in reasonableness
Personally I believe that the supreme
truth of the whole issue is found in the
revelation made by Jesus as the Christ
of God.
Q. Why should God who has plant
ed the reproductive instinct in us not
provide proper means of expression?
personally would prefer to give this in
sttnct its activity in lawful marriage
rather than out of 1t, both for moral
ana esthetic reasons. But must I wait
Tor an indefinite period-which may
be very long, indeed-for the one girl
10 cross my path who will be intellec-
tually alive and a mental companion? ?
Is 1t not true that viewing marriage as
the sequel of love is nothing more than
habit of mass thinking?
A. / suspect your letter was dictated
oy a mood of disenchantment. It's
is more natural than helpful. The in
ternal conflict 1t registers has brought
you TO the verge of moral breakdown
Under such circumstances, when your
nod1ly desires and spiritual ideals col
Hoe, the lower being will triumph over
the higher unless you fight with all
your might to maintain your manhood
You say you want a wife who is in
tellectually alive and in every way com
petent as a companion of your mind
very good. But do not forget that
countless men of brains have been
olessedly content with mates who were
intellectually inferior to them. vet quite
tner equals in character. Beware OF
the merely mentally alert woman in
caSed IN frigid armor. The ideal you
imagine and desire may be kind OF
Homoia," but I seriously doubt her
suitability for you.
Again, why blame God for the mis-
carriage of modern marriage? Man
as He made him, untouched bv our
conventionalisms had no dificuity IN
match making. African savages do very
wen at 1T, and until they were corrupted
oy the whites the zulus knew nothing
OF spinsterdom, bachelorism, divorce
or Veneral diseases. 1t would seem from
thS as though the calm for thwart-
ing the reproducing instinct is on us,
not on the Deity
Certainly you had better tarry for the
woman ordained for you rather than
take leap in the dark. Stop fuming
against life's laws and conditions. Rec
olect that under the present circum-
stances you are not entitled to chal-
lenge all creation. Drop your antag-
onim to its arrangements. Put on a
cheerful courage and never allow the
sensual in you to coerce the rational
or the idealstic. You need first to
change your entire attitude and then
win the woman you crave because you
are worthy Of her. At present that
worthineSs Is not conspicuous in your
letter.
Mass thinking on major issues is far
more likely to be correct thinking than
that OF somewhat soured observer.

@. How do you analyze the prevalence
of lack of a worshipful attitude ir
many of our churches today?
A. WorshipfulneSs is primarily mat
ter of the inward spirit In which bodily
attitudes and outward forms play 9
subordinate part. Yet these attitudes
and forms react upon the soul itself
The reverent heart is manifest in rev.
erent demeanor. and a reverent demea-
nor in turn helps to produce the rev.
erent heart. The condition to which
you refer has its origin in a lack OF
reverence.
Much can be done by the officiating
minister to remedy the situation. But
he should not be charged with the
whole responsibility for a very real and
sad defect. Too many people seem to
be wholly lacking. in what may be called
church sense" For them the church
is simply a building and the service q
superior performance. Their misappre-
tensions cannot be traced to any COM
mon factor. since there are other people
who exhibit an entirely different bear
ing in worship. The question Is largely
one of early training, resulting in a
clear perception of what the act Of
worship involves.
Architecture, music, seating, lighting
and other accessories bear on the ques-
ton. But they are merely external
aids. Some of the most inspiring re-
ligious services have known were held
in the modest churches of rural par
ishes. People will bow in silent awe
and alteration when they are deeply
conscious that they are in the imme-
diate presence of God. Where there is
a sense of that presence the plainest
lyop lie wifi 10
glory which enveloped IsraeIs Temple
of old, SO that even the priests could
not minister.
All worshipers should behave in Of
fering their sacrifices of praise and
thanksgiving as those who are unfit
to offer any sacrifice except through
the mercy of Him who receives it.
@. Is it not true that religion origi-
mates in mans fear of the future and
his inability to explain the present?
What has Christianity done to solve
this problem?
A. There is no doubt that fear played
a conspicuous part in primitive re-
ligions But 1t was not fear of the fu-
terious powers acting in the present
Yet fear was by no means the only ele-
ment in even the earliest religions
They were often expressions of joy
over the fecundity of the earth and the
conquest of tribal enemies. Hence the
introduction of the dance as part of
their rites. For dancing was pro-
nounced ritual of piety before it became
a social habit. In this connection read
j. G. Frasers Golden Bough" and
Hopkins Origin and Evolution of Re
hgions"
1t may be freely admitted that mod
ern religion has some basis in our in
ability to explain the present. And
since science has now forfeited final
certitude, that inability is still more
pronounced. Christianity enters the
scene, however, as working philosophy
OF life; a spiritual monism which uni
mes the diversified elements of nature
and civilization in the God whom Christ
revealed. Your question implies that
