@. Why do clergymen invest God
with the common attributes of hui
mainly, such as fear, ambition, hope
regret, and so on; especially love?
Various sorts of failings go with love
Therefore, how can God be all-sufficient
and be subject to these failings?
"A. II read your question correctly
you deplore human qualities in God
he must be without emotions of any
KIND II He is to command your rev.
erence. All I can reply is that such a
Goa could neither be conceived nor
described by any man. If you say
1hen He is simply unknowable," you
beg the question, for you must al
least think God to affirm His unknow-
ableness.
Your curious idea that His love con-
notes frailty calls for the statement
that Gods affection is the consunmate
blending of all HIS attributes. What
Is His power but the strength of His
love: His eternity but the endlessness
OF His love; His wisdom but the guild
ance OF His love? But why continue?
Inc truth is we are compelled to ex-
press the hottest We can think in the
highest terms We know. For this rea-
son the qualities We most esteem in men
we transfer to God. This is thoughts
natural course and you should not re-
sent its application.
Your letter speaks Of man making
God in his own image" Very true,
but he could not have done this had
he not first been created in Gods
image. We may well believe that the
eternal home of our noblest impulses
and ideas is in the everlasting Father
from whom all human good proceeds
The process is reciprocal. He engraved
HIS likeness in our souls. We find Him
in that likeness and we see in His Son
made flesh its eternal example.
@. You have stated that the vital
verities of Christianity are few, straight
forward, clear and unmistakable, but
you did not state what those verities
were.
Will you kindly do so now?
A. Christianity has manifold forms
of expression, but they are all subordi-
nate to one controlling element. The
man who does Christlike things in a
Christlike way is a Christian. He bears
himself toward God, his fellows and the
world as the Master did. And If the
Master praises, what matters it who dis
praises?
Plainly, the religion of Jesus is not
primarily one of doctrine, or millions
Of His followers who do not understand
theology would be deprived of its ben
efits. Nor is an orthodox subscriber to
Christian doctrine necessarily Chris
tan. Practice is three-fourths of the
adventure.
The first deciding factor is. How did
Jesus conceive and practice life? He
conceived the living God as His Father,
Himself as the Son of God and the uni
versal brother of mankind. He taught
that the divine will for all men was
brotherhood, because they were the sons
of one Father. He bequeathed an ex-
ample which motivates that brother
hood, and He crowned it by giving Him
self for the redemption of the world.

country which the Spaniards called
Nueva Galicia, named it after his birth

The present city is still called Guada-

the spot first selected, for, finding that
unsatisfactory, the small colony of
Spaniards moved a few years later to
the present situation on the banks of
