Q-Please give a definition OF re-
ligion.
A-Prof. Herbert L. Willett OF
Chicago, in discussing definitions
of religion, recently wrote: Some
definitions apparently ignore spir-
itual implications, cf1aracteriziIlg
religion as "a peculiar sanction
given to the mores;;" 'the con-
seriousness of the highest social
Values" mans attitude toward
the universe regarded as a So
cial and ethical force;;" "a valu-
ing attitude, universalizing the
will and emotions rather than the
ideas of man." "a conservation OF
individual life and energies to So
cial ends" or "the quest for the
largest and fullest satisfaction OF
felt needs" Others take account
only of the spiritual, designating
religion as faith in unseen
powers" belief in spiritual
beings" belief in the reality Of
spiritual Values" that which ex-
presses in life the relationship be-
tween man and the super natural
realm" "the effective desire to be
in right relation to the power
nsnifesting itself in the universe
or ''the attempt of the human
soul to get into right relations
with God"
He continues by quoting j. H.
Leuba's God or Man" as sug-
costing five groups into which def
nitionS of religion may be CLASH
fed: ID Religion is the feeling
or attitude called forth by the
mysterious or the sacred; 10 Re-
ligion is the quest after the mean
ing of life; CD Religion is a be-
lief in something human which
has the power of making life what
it should be; (4) Religion is devo-
ton to the welfare of humanity:
(5) Religion is an experience i'm
plying the existence Of spiritual
world.

Q-Why do Jews wear hats in
their synagog?
Aust as the Western gesture
OF respect is to remove the hat,
so the Palestinian gesture of re-
spect and reverence is to be COM
pletely dressed, including the
wearing of the hat. Either action
is symbolic. The meaning of both
is the same. One represents the
convention of the West, and the
other the convention of the East.
Analogously, as a sign Of respect
the Moslem removes his shoes be-
fore entering a Mosque; in West
ern lands one is careful to be shod
before enterir4 a church. Both
are conventional expressions of
reverence for the house of wor-
ship.
Q-Is it true that while the
Catholic Church theoretically pro-
hibits divorce, her system of an
nulments and dispensations practi-
cally allows it?
"A Catholic authority an
swers: It is not true. The Cath
Ollie Church never grants a dis
pensation from the divine or the
natural law, but only from a law
of her own making. She never
declares valid marriage null and
void, but asserts, by her annul-
ment that a so-called marriage
never actually took place. This
may be compared to the difference
between tearing up a genuine
fifty-dollar bill and declaring an
other f1fty-dollar bill a counter
felt. For instance, one well-known
marriage was declared null by the
Church after it had been proved
conclusively that it was the result
of compulsion. The law in this
respect is clear: "A marriage is
invalid If entered into because of
violence or grave fear, inflicted
unjustly and from aWithout. to
escape which one Is forced to
choose marriage" Canon 1880.

God Topic Of
Science Church

God" is to be the Lesson Sermon
subject in all Churches Of Christ,
Scientist, tomorrow.
The Golden Text is: Among the
gods there is none like unto Thee,
o Lord; f.. For Thou art great,
and doest wondrous things; Thou
art God alone" Psalms 86:8-100.
Among the citations which COM
prise the Lesson Sermon is the fol-
lowing from the Bible: "And
saw a new heaven and a new earth:
:. And I heard voice out of heaven
saying, Behold, the tabernacle of
God is with men, and he shall dwell
with them, and they shall be His
people, and God himself shall be
with them, and be their God' Rev-
Citations 21:1-3).
The following passages from the
Christian Science text book, "Sci-
ence and Health, with Key to the
Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy
also are included: '"This testimony
of Holy Writ sustains the fact in
Science, that the heavens and earth
to one human consciousness, that
consciousness which God bestows,
are spiritual, while to another, the
unillumined human mind, the vision
is material Accompanying this
scientific consciousness was another
revelation, even the declaration
from heaven, supreme harmony
that God, the divine principle of
harmony, is ever with men, and they
are His people. This is Scrip
tural authority for concluding that
such a recognition of being is, and
has been, possible to men in this
present state of existence,-that we
can become conscious, here and
now, of cessation of death, sor-
row and pain. This is indeed fore
taste of absolute Christian Science.
