Religious Questions

DISCUSSED BY
Dr.. S. Parkes Cddman.

had evidently traced the developments
of biblical teaching and found its CHI
max in his Risen Lord.
The Old Testament presents two
views of the future life. In Job
(xiy7-12) we are plainly told that
mans life ends with his bodily death
From this and similar teachings the
Sadducees doubted and in some in
stances denied immortality. The Sec
ond view consigned departed spirits to
Sheol, where they existed in a shadowy
form. awaiting the hour of final judg-
ment. The Pharisees held this latter
view. and the apocalyptic parts of the
Bible reflect 1t.
The Christian doctrine of the future
was Influenced by Greek thought which
taught the souls immortality as dis
tinc,lished from the body's resurrection.
st Paul blended both elements in the
familiar passage which occurs in I Co.
rinthians, XIV. The apostle there asserts
the eternal life of the blessed ones, who
are clothed upon with q spiritual
body"
For the latest works on the issue read
r. H. Charles "Eschatalogy, Hebrew
Jewish and Christian; L. 3. Paton's
Snowdens volume on 1.-THE Christian
Belief in Immortality" Prof. Ismar J..
PERTH of Syracuse University. the
learned and well known teacher of
Oriental languages, agrees with my
statement referred to in your letter.
@. would be pleased indeed to have
your explanation and comment on
Psalm cxxxix.14, is and Is.
I have given considerable thought to
the above Scripture from the King
James and other translations, and
have the comment of others upon it.
Also give your comment on Job, xii.7-10.
A. The Psalmist here describes the
mysterious creation of human life and
how from the undeveloped embryo it
grows into q body endowed with mar
velous members and faculties. BY such
expressions as "In Thy book were they
all written, which day by day were
fashioned, when as yet there was none
of them" he states his belief that mans
entire. course is planned ahead and
recorded in Gods tnkleSS scrolls. In
other words, the Psalmist is convinced
that an ideal scheme Is prearranged for
every individual existence. st. Paul
maintains similar position in his letter
to the Ephesians, For we are His work
manship, created in Christ Jesus for
good works, which God afore prepared,
that we should walk in them" Ui.10).
In chapter xii.7-10 Job satlrizes the
Wanted wisdom of the friends who
complacently patronized him. Their
wisdom is so simple and rudimentary
that even the fowls of the air and
the fishes of the sea possess it. It is as
though the patriarch said, 1.-THE lowest
creatures in Gods creative scheme are
just as much aware as you are that He
is strong and wise" This phraseology
must be treated as poetry. We have to
remember that the ancients did not
make the distinction between human
and animal intelligence which modern
knowledge has formulated.

NOT A GOOD PRECEDENT.

The withdrawal of 625 square miles of territory in the Panama Yukon region from the public domain and possible use that might the Indians for experimenting with fur farming is not a good pre- cedent constitutes example for further similar withdrawals in other parts of the Territory for similar purposes
 Such drastic action is not necessary. Indians can be taught to raise fur-bearing animals without large reservations of land being made and reserva tions of land from pioneers and developers have already been severe tax on progress in this Territory
 If Government officials feel that the Indians need fostering care let them proceed to prepare them to live under the conditions that have changd with the coming of civilization and not attempt to do so through stopping the tide of progress. In the end the we'll being of the Indian will be improved with the growth and development of the Territory, for the coming of white people furnishes market for their labor and industry. They must learn to live and work as the white live and work if they would avoid being crushed in the process of chang ing conditions. If the Government has obligations in the premises they require that the Indians be prepared for the white mems civilization and not be hedged in on reservations with the white mems world shut out
 Alaska already has far too many reservations. Let withdrawals of lands and resources cease.
