A Divine Prescription

why not another and another; and so it has been until today we have 400 Protestant sects and each of these a house divided against it. self. So-called Modernism has eat- en into all denominations, teach- ing and preaching against the h. carnation, the Resurrection, Heaven, Hell and the Immortality of the soul and invalidating the entire Bible or any parts of it that con- tradictS its theories. Because of this chaos of thought, with no au- thority to state what is and is not truth, I cannot blame the devout Proestant who today is almost forced to resign himself to the sim pie creed, T accept Christ as my Saviour and letting it go at that.
 "But we Catholics, Ben, have the divine prescription for salvation in the God-guided traditions of the church, verified by the true inter- pretation of the God d-inspired Scrip lures. Surely we accept Him Who compounded the medicine; but we are not satisfied to merely look at the remedy up there on the shelf and grant its efficacy. No, we take down the bottle regularly, shake well to get all the ingredients, and then take our medicine exactly as directed on the label"

. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
The Sin of Covetousness
Text: Exodus 2o:17; Luke 12:13-2l; Tin

Covetousness may be the under lying motive of self-seeking, even when one would put it upon the plane of justice. This is illustrated in the story of the man who came to Jesus, asking Him to have his brother divide the inheritance with him. We do not know all the cir cumstances or details, but Jesus evi- dently sensed the fact that this man was poisoning his own life by some false sense of injustice or by some covetous spirit. So He said, Man, who made me c judge or a divider over you?" It was in this connec- ton that He particularly emphasiz- ed the sin of covetousnes and the fact that mans life does not con- sist in the abundance of the things that he possesses.
 He proceeded then to tell the story of the successful farmer, the man who was going to pull down his barns and build greater and take his ease and enjoyment out of the things that he had built up over many years. The successful farmer was probably no better or no worse than many men in similar circum- stance, but he had left out of &C., count the most important think of all, namely, his life. Death made all his prosperity and the things he had stored up mean nothing to him. But even in death, if he had sought treasure in heaven, there would have been some satisfaction in his life and some real heritage of goods

.. but listen, Jim, doesn't the Bible say, 'Whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have eter- nal life? Then why all these other things you Catholics must believe and do?"
 Because, Ben, the Bible tells us about these others things, too. How about the Commandments, Baptism, Penance, fasting, eating the Flesh of the Son of Man and lots else? About believing only-well, St. James puts it rather aptly when he says the devils also believe and tremble.' And again: Faith without works is dead'."
 But St. James-weren't his writ ings declared an epistle of straw'?"
 "Yes, but by Martin Luther, be- cause if St. James was right, then Luther was wrong and Luther didn't want to be considered wrong. You see, Ben, when a human being starts out to reform God-founded religion, he must change the God- inspiring writings of the Bible by additions, subtsactionS or misinter- pretations. By so doing he may ar- rive at the kind of religion he wants or even thinks to be right; but he sets dangerous precedent.
 If one man can change religion,

Q. Is it true that there is 2 liturgicaI revival among Protestant churches?
 A. Observers note in church architecture a tendency to get away from some types that have been popular in the past, wherein beauty and an atmosphere of wor- ship have been sacrificed to the demand for an auditorium, and to return to 8 more churchly type.
 In the conduct of church serv- ices there is 8 very evident and widespread tendency to enrich and elaborate the service ana to depart from the severe simplicity and ex- temporaneous character of many forms of church service that once prevailed.
 There is an effort to achieve a greater order and dignity without sacrificing sincerity and spontan- eousness. This is seen in the in. creased use of chorus music, pro- cessionals and recessionals, litan- ies, symbols, color and light.

 "GOD THE PRESENTER OF MAN" will be the subject of the Lesson The Golden Text is from Psalms 40:11: Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy loving kindness and thy truth continually preserve me-"
 Bible readings include the follow ing passages from Psalms 91: g, 10, II: Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways"
 Correlative passages from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scrip lures" by Mary Baker Eddy, give the following definition of angels: ANGELS. Gods thoughts passing to man; spiritual munitions, pure and perfect; the inspiration of good ness, purity, and immortality, coun- teracting all evil, Sensuality, and mortality" (page 581:D.
