0: Has the Catholic Church ever made official reference to So- cialism?
 A: There have been many ref erences by the Popes to Socialism, One that must fully express the attitude of the Church was given in the Encyclical, "Quadregesimo Anno,' of Pope Plus XI which de- clares that Socialism cannot be brought into harmony with the Church because it conceives human society in a way utterly alien to Christian truth. Social ism, it points out, holds that man lives on earth simply for his own material advantage and that for the better production of wealth, man must surrender his ndivid- uality and submit to the dictates of a society dedicated to the pro- duction of wealth.

Peter commended and rebuked." How well that seems to sum up a great deal in the life. of Peter, both during the days of his earthly asso- citation with our Lord as disciple and as an apostle and founder of the Christian church.
 Later on we shall find Peter, after his Master who commended and re- buked him in love had been cruci- fled, commended by the greatness of the occasion when he preached at Pentecost but lebuked ignominious- ly in the vision on the housetop, as he was still in his pride and narrow ness disposed to be a respecter of men and to call unclean the things that God had cleansed. How much these words concerning Peter - commended and rebuked"-might apply to us all for which one of us has not something to be commend ed and a great deal to be rebuked?
 It is this nearness of Peter to our- selves that makes him so vital a study for Christians today, and that 1lldhCS b1lCoC ACooOklo oO AlAS1oAtC d1ANA helpful in establishing our own faith and vision. Here in our lesson we find Peter making the great confes- sion of his belief in Jesus as the Christ or the Messiah, the son of the living God.
 The words in which Jesus replied to Peter have been the occasion of a great controversy in history and in some measure division of the Christian Church. The Roman Cath olic Church interprets these words with considerable iteralness and es- tablishes its authority upon the suc- cession to Peter as the first bishop of the Christian church, the man to whom Jesus committed the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Protestants interpret the words in a more spiri- tual and mystical sense.
 They point to the fact that almost immediately afterwards Jesus re- buked Peter with the startling words, Get thee behind me, Satan" They take the whole passage as one. and they regard as the rock upon which the church is built not the weak and

 Q: What is the origin of tH phrase, wandering Jew.
 A: References to this phrai have been traced back to an Ena fish manuscript dated 1928, whe the wandering Jew" was reportS to be alive. It was published as legend in the beginning of tH 17th century as told by AhasY eruS.
 This story of the Jewish shoS maker who taunted Jesus and WI doomed, as a result, to wandf eternally, became very populz and scores of versions of it weI published. In this manner. t phrase wandering Jew becaI commonplace.

 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, "Sci- ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following: Jesus once said: I thank Thee. O Father.

impulsive Peter but the Peter of the moment of that great confession and the faith that Peter expressed They point to the fact that it is by the words and acts of the disciples of Jesus that the Kingdom of Heav- en is advanced or retarded, and that, much as Christians might wish to be relieved of the responsibility, they do by their own words and actions bind or loosen it. Into these controversies the teacher cannot very well go, but they cannot be altogether ignored for they have had historical reality.
 Perhaps we could give altogether too much importance to questionable interpretations. The one thing that is sure is that no church on earth no matter what its name or its pro fession-will, in truth and reality, represent the Kingdom of Heaven on earth except as the Kingdom of Heaven is enshrined in its life and its teachings. The great truth con- corning Christians and Christianity is that eff any man have not the spirit of Christ, he is none of this. In all churches and in all creeds wherever men have found the mani festation of God and have yielded themselves in devotion and conse- cration, the Kingdom of Heaven has become established in their hearts and in their relationships.
 Why did Jesus rebuke Peter SC keenly when Peter urged Him thati He should not go to Jerusalem where Jesus intimated that He wa: about to suffer many things?
 We must remember that JeSu: took on Him our human nature ano that, as man subject to tempta- tion, Peter probably voiced tha temptation that was in His own sou ito avoid this way of peril and duty For Himself and for His disciplea there was only the way of truth and duty. The test of S1iiscipleship wa; self-denial and willingness to beal the Cross.
