Weekly Sunday School Lesson
 The Future Life

denced in history that the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church, that truth crushed to earth shall rise again, that in losing life men find it,. and that .in sacrafice Is the way of new life and attainment.
 If one doubted the reality of immortality, he might find great hope in this, if there were noth- ing else.
 But there is a further witness to faith in immortality in the words of Jesus himself and in the experience that Christians firmly believe they have found of Christ in their own hearts. To Jesus himself this indwelling presence of the Father was so real that He lokoed forward to the future with the clearness of faith that took the eternal life for granted.
 "If it were not SOL He said, to his disciples, T would have told you."

tuition of States: "The AL mighty has appointed the charge of the human race be- tween two powers. the eccles- iastical and the civil; the one being set over divine. the other over human things" Jesus Christ has Himself given com mand that what is Caesars is to be rendered to Caesar, and that which belongs to God is to be rendered to God. As to the relation of religion to poli- tics Catholics, and among them the Catholic clergy. are citizens of the country. Every American citizen possesses q constitutional right to free speech. The Catholic church does not ''go political" when she thunders against modern economic evils or offers the Catholic solution for these modern problems or denounc- es evil doers. Protestant churches and Jewish syna- gogues also lift their voices against many evils or in favor of many proposals. Clergymen are coming more and more to believe that 1t Is not only the prerogative but the stern duty of the church and synagogue to occupy themselves with so- cial, political and economic questions as they relate to the welfare of human beings.
 Q. Does science deny the immortality of the soul?
 A. That science does mt necessarily involve any such denial Is indicated by the fol- lowing statement of Michael Pupin, Serbian herdsboy who became one of Americas lead ing scientists: Science gives us plenty of ground for intel- ligent hope that our physical life is only a stage in the ex- istence of the soul. The law of continuity and the general scientific view of the universe tend to strengthen our belief that the soul goes on existing and developing after death The soul of man is the highest product of Gods crea- tive handiwork. Now, after God has spent untold time in creating man and endowipg him with q soul, which is the reflection of his image, Is 1t reasonable to suppose that man lives here on earth for q brief sAan and then is extin- guished by death? That the soul perishes with the physical body? That 1t existed in vain z

 Doctrine of Atonement" will be the subject of the Lesson-Sermon.
 The golden Text Is from He brews 9:28: Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look Ar him shall he appear the secon time without sin until salvation."~
 Bible readings include the fol- lowing passages from l Corinthians 15: 12, IA. 19. 20: Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain :. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most mis- erable. But now. is Christ risen from the dead, and become the | first fruits of them that slept" Correlatlve readings from the | Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Eddy, include the following citation from page AZ: 15-2S: "The resurrection of the great demonstrator of Gods power was the proof of his final triumph over body and matter, and gave full evidence of divine Science,-evidence so important to mortals Because of the won- drous glory which God bestowed on His anointed, temptation, sin. sickness. and death had no terror for Jesus. Let men think they had killed the body! Afterwards he would show 1t to them unchanged. This demonstrates that in Chris, tian Science the true man is gov erned by God--by good, not evil and is therefore not mortal but an immortal"

Q. Is there any special mu- sic used during Sabbath serv- ices in synagogues?

Q. Is there any special mu- sic used during Sabbath serv- ices in synagOgues?
 A. In Orthodox synagogues no music is played on the Sabbath. Since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem by the Romans the synagogue service has refrained from us- ing instrumental music, al- though in modern times Con- servative and Reform syna gogues have introduced the or- gan. In Orthodox and most Conservative synagogues the service is chanted throughout to chants which. for the most part, are traditional and an- cient, through congregational hymns and anthems by the choir are apt to be modern compositions. In Reform tenn pies very little traditional and ancient music is used. The traditional music of the syna- gogue is strikingly character istic, with it's Eastern themes and intervals, and the intense emotion with which centuries of suffering have surcharged it.
 Q. Do Protcstants believe in confession?
 A. It is the general belief of Protestants that according to the teaching of both the Old and the New Testaments confession of sin before God Is a condition of forgiveness, be- ing the guarantee of genuine penitence and a purpose or amendment. Jesus exhibits the prodigal son as moved by a natural impulse to confess to his father. It is the common teaching of Protestants that all sin is sin against God and that confession should be made to God. It is plain that Christ taught also the neces- sity of acknowledging, and ob- taining forgiveness for, off, lenses committed against other men. As to the mode of confession or the person to re- ceive it. no instruction Is given. It is clear, however, from the language of St John and St James that it was to be specific, definite and mutual.
 Q. Are there two wings tO the Catholic church--the Gre. ligioys'' and the ''pOlitical"?
 A. There is no political "wing" to the Catholic church. Pope Leo XIII said in his en- cyclical "The Christian COnsti-

| EUltOr Ol iAUNAHCC Recently I read a lecture or immortality, by great schol-
 ar in one of our foremost univer- sities, in which he stated quite frankly life or not was to him personally quite an indifferent
 matter. He was deeply interested only in discovering what men be-
 lieved concerning immortality and in studying the psychological effect of that belief upon their lives and upon masses of people religiously and racially.
 Some time ago, also l received a letter from one whom life had buffeted very severely. Loss and suffering had made the outlook on life so dark and so full of ter TOT that for this soul in distress the thought that there might be an ending to it. all was in itself a relief.
 Passionately the writer of this letter expressed the hope that there was no such things as life beyond death.
 Few people will be able to take either of these attitudes, even as- suming that it were desirable.
 Deep down in human life there is this feeling for immortality, this demand of man for some hope and
 some evidence that the grave is not the end-all. Deeper and higher still in the reasoned thought of man is a similar de- mand.
 If life is but small span, Q speck in eternity, in which
 mans highest aspirations are
 mocked, in which his struggles
 and sufferings have no meaning, and in which all moral and spir. itual demands are those of world
 where daeth and decay are the
 surest manifestly there Is little
 place for light or joy.
 Paul was speaking as a clear
 visioned realist when he said, "If
 in this life only we have hope in Christ Jesus, we are of all men
 most miserable"
 Deeply imbedded in the Chris tian facts and in the Christian
 message is clear declaration concerning the eternal nature o1 | the good life. Nothing is so cer- tain in the Christians faith as
 that godness cannot be de-
 stroyed. The essential place oi
 this faith in immortality in the Christian religion and the wit
 ness to 1t are emphasized in many ways.
 First, in the story of the resur. rection of Jesus, upon which g part of our lesson is based. The evidence from the resurrection oi
 Jesus is not that merely of an
 cient records.
 Fortunately the resurrection
 stories are sufficiently different tC destroy all suggestion that they were invented by the disciples Oi that any collision existed ir claiming that Jesus had risen The evidence of the truth of these
 stories lies deeper in the revivins faith of the disciples when they
 had lost all heart and hope. It was at this darkest hour that they became convinced that they had seen their Lord, and
 that He was living, and not 6 dead Savior. The reality of theil faith and their witness are writ. | ten into the whole history oi Christianity, and they cannot be
 shaken, no matter what interpre. tation one might put upon tht record of outward events.
 The Christian evidence goes
 further in the nature of the Chris ] tian life itself. It is well evil
