Religion In A
Nutshell
By REV. HENRY K. PASMA.
Phi. D.
CLOCK WISE

Is Jesus a fatalist when He REPLIES
to His disciples: "Are there not
twelve hours in the day? The occas-
ion is the death of Lazarus. Jesus
plans to go to Bethany. Opposition of
the most dangerous kind awaits Him.
Christ is not fatalist who believes
himself helpless in the grasp of a
Power which is the caricature of God
Christ is clock wise. He is persuaded
that in cooperation with God-Plan-
ner, Ruler, Provider-He can succeed
ir making of life magnificent sue
cess. The world is not haphazard
affair surrendered to the whims of
chance. This world is planned. 1t is in
process of restoration. Each human
being may have share in the work.
And for the doing of mans tasks God
has ordained the twelve hours in the
day.
There are, then, times and seasons
in which certain things must be done.
The farmer is clock wise in that he.
knows that summer and autumn, not
spring, are the times for harvesting.
The early years of the child are not
to show the fully matured harvest of
knowledge, and the treasures of ex-
perience, and the four-square, com
pleted character. The child's early
years are the time for foundation lay
ing in many different way. A mass
of knowledge needs to be accumulated
most of which is theoretical as far
as the child is concerned, and the
truth of which has yet to be tested in
the years to come. The years of man
hood and womanhood are not meant
to be frittered away at childish past
times. This is the season for growing
responsibilities, of maximum power,
of accumulative achievement. And,
according to Christ who is clock wise,
the last years of life need not be
dreaded as being sort of fatuous,
negotiating existence. Are there not
twelve hours in the day? Old age
melowing age, rather-too, may con-
tinue to grow in significance.
Twelve hours in the day. Fatalists
are not infrequently calamity howlers.
They would have you and me believe
the worlds day is drawing to close
Things in general are going to the
bowwows. But Jesus, clock wise, is
ppeither fatalist onr calamity bowler.
For Him His twelfth hour meant a
cross. 1t seems to spell defeat. Yet He
faces the dark hour calmly. He be-
lieves God is in the twelfth hour too.
Continuing at the side of God, He
translates magnifciently the symbol
of defeat into the sign of grandest
victory which, in spite of paradox and
protest, continues to "tower DER the
wrecks of time," and to preach to all
the generations of mankind that God
is TO finish according to schedule that
which He first set out to do.

An Innate Idea

The modern psychologist believes
this phrase is meaningless. Some phi

formed part of the actual equipment
or content of consciousness at BIRTH
not due to experience within the life
of the individual.

Cove Oyster.

The bureau of fisheries says tha;

given to small oysters found in coves
on the west bank of Chesapeake bay
between Baltimore and the mouth, Of
the Potomac river. They were canned
as early as 1920 at Baltimore. Now

have become synonymous with canned

for various diseases, perhaps tubercu-
losis and cancer among them, from
