use of Christian or Jewish biographies.
Abstract statements Of religious beliefs
are likely to be one-sided until sup
plemented by the registrations OF those
beliefs in human life and action.
A Hebrew teacher cannot do better
than appeal to Abraham, the father OF
the faithful; to Moses, the law glver:
statesmen; to Hosea and Amos. the
seers of Righteousness. A Christian
teacher ought to begin and END WITH
the life of Christ as the revelation OF
the Father. ST. Paul Is available Tor
this purpose, because he was the heroic
missionary whose brave adventures Tor
his Masters Gospel attract the young:
Besides, we know more Of his personal
career than of that Of any other apostle;
Then 40 to history as 1t is epitomized
in the leading figures of post biblical
eras. Select the characters which Illus
trate and enforce the claims OF religion
as life's major concern. Here abundant
material is available, and dozen or
more leaders should be selected. For
Christians I suggest st. Augustine,
Hildebrand, Innocent the Third, 81.
Francis, wyclif, Huss, Luther, Calvin,
Pascal, Wesley, Carey OF In india 1,,s Gen
Grenfell and Cardinal MERCER. Doubt
less many others will suggest themselves
to my readers, especially to those of the
Jewish Church.
@. What is meant by Revelation XIV,
"a, which speaks Of the victory over
the beast? What Is the significance OF
his mark, image and the number Of his
name?
A. Two beasts figure in this book.
The first comes up out of the sea and
Is patterned after the fourth beast men
toned in chapter of the Book OF
Daniel, verses 2 to z. That beast was
used by the prophet to typify the Greek
kingdom of Alexander and his sue
cessorS.
After the conquests of Pompey in the
first century B. c. the fourth beast of
Daniel was identified with the Roman
state, hence the first beast in Revela-
lions represents the Roman Empire.
The second beast, which comes from
the, hinterland,' represents the leaders
of the nationalistic cult who prosecuted
the early Christians who refused to
worship the imperial image.
The mark" was an external sign
affixed to those who conformed to that
worship. None but these devotees could
possess it. The image" mentioned was
that of the emperor. Statues were re-
garded by paganism as the means by
which gods and demons entered into
fellowship with their worshipers, and
the power to work miracles was often
attributed to such images.
The number of the beasts name
refers either to 666 or GIG, which was
its numerical symbol. This number
Is composed Of the numerical equiva-
Tents of the Hebrew letters forming the
name New Kaiser" or "Neron Kaiser.
The victory over the beast was won by
those believers who were loyal to their
Lord even at the cost of life.

q. What was the origin and the primi-
tive significance of the Biblical term
A. The Hebrew word "Elohirn" in
the Old Testament and the Greek word
"Theos" in the New Testament are
both translated by the English term
God" The name Jehovah (Hebrew
"Yahweh') Is. also found in the Old
Testament. The question arises as to
whether "Elohim'' or "Yahweh' is the
older term. The root of 'Elohinl" is
EEL" Semitic term meaning in general
power" and, therefore, generic name
for God.
"Elohim" is the plural form of the
word and means gods" The Hebrews
seem to have grouped the various "els''
or gods" under the comprehensive
concept "Elohim," which expressed the
inclusive and singlar sense of God as
the one all holy potenate of the uni
verse. This "Elohim" was ultimately
called "Yahweh." The origin of the
later name Is somewhat obscure. In
one Biblical document Moses is said to
have used it for the first time (see
Exodus vi, and 81. But in another
document it is implied that the name
God" had already been used by the
patriarchs (see Exodus iii, 1915.
The questions involve full discus
sion of the origin, priority and rela-
tive value of the various Pentateuchal
documents which cannot be given here
It must suffice to say that scholars
incline to the belief that "Ya" or
"Yahn" was the name of Kenite or
Midianite god,. of whom Moses flrst
learned when he fed from Egypt to
INDIAN in the Sinaitic peninsula. There,
as you may recall, he met Jethro, the
priest of the land, and married his
daughter.
Moses felt he could not worship this
Nature deity, which may have been a
fire god. But he identified Yahweh,
apparently derived from the Hebrew
verb meaning "the existent" or "the
dependable" or "the eternal one," with
the "Elohim" of his fathers; after which
he returned to Egypt to deliver Israel
in the name and in the strength OF
Yahweh- Elohim.
Just how much content Moses put
into this great name is not easily de-
termined. But we know that in the
period covered by the Book of Judges
the people regarded Yahweh as simply
their tribal god. It was left to the
mighty prophets of the House of Israel
Cal content, and to conceive Yahweh
as the God of the heavens and the
earth, utterly righteous and universally
supreme. .-
@. What course would you suggest
adopting for the instruction of a class
of young people who are candidates
for church membership?
A. An effective course should include
the essential doctrines of the faith of
the church these young people are to
join. Exemplify and strengthen their
instruction in these doctrines by the
