THE 0dd Varw;y of Questions Floods Information Bureau - DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, Youth Even Asks Encyclopedia Aqency. Who By ERICH BRANDES ] WASHINGTON, 1y 10.—“Who | was God's grandfather? [ That quesvion, recently asked by six-year-old Frank Jones of Roch-| ester, N. Y., stumped the Americana | Institute of Washington, D. C.| which has answered more than 250,- | 000 inquiries on every conceivable| subject during the past ten years. The consensus was that God, be- ing the beginning of all things, existed before anybody or anything | and will continue forever, that be-| ing a spirit to a person, He could have had no grandfather, but is; himself the father of us all. Mary Pickford representing the motion picture industry on the in- stitute’s advisory board expressed | her opinion as follows: 1 “A child, to my way of thmkingi should not be taught that God 1s personal in a corporeal way—but rather that He is an all-loving, all- pervading spirit, filling all bpllc?‘ and ever present. | “Difficult for a child to grasp,| seedless to say; but one might use| the radio as a concrete illustration,| explainihg how the 4if waves carry the human voice around the world| in a split second. Well, God is a| greater, infinite air wave—las no beginning and no end—always hasl been and always will 'be. And since| He always has been, He could not have a father nor a' grandfather.” Another's View Given | | Charles A. McMahon, editor of | Catholic Action, after consulting | with a clerical members of the staff, submitted “the ‘following answer, as representing the Catholic concep- tion: t “God never had a grandfather or| a father because ‘God is the begin- | ning of all things. There was never | | a lime when there was no God. God | always was. He i§ the Father of all of us. From the day that he made Adam and Eve, who were the first| man and woman, we have had fath- lers and grandfathers ‘and great- grandfathers, but God existed be: fore Adam and Eve and no one ever existed before God.” The Protestant “point of view' is expressed by Dr. Henry Barraclough, | Presbytenian church official, in his| reply: | "“My dear little son, I have | taught you ‘that God fs ‘our Father, ind that in many ways He meéans |to us all just what T rheah fo you | as your earthly father; and I hope that T am as good ‘to you as God is good to us all. But there are | many ways in which God our heav- | enly Father is not like me. We can- | not see Him, as you can see me,| yet He is just as real; we cannot | feel Him, as you can feel me, yet| we know' Hé is at work m thé world doing the things which T cannot do. One of the ways in whi¢h we | think of God is that He made every- | thing, and that He was Befdre evety- thing. He could not be God if thete was ‘somebody or something before| Him.” 3 Morris Margulies, as secretary of | the Zionist organization, is well | qualified to speak for the Jews and replied as follows: “The question put by a six-year- ‘nld boy is liable indeed to place| dne in- a guandry, in“view: of* the impossibility of entering - with the child into a basic study of the con-| ception of God. Of “course,”if ‘We could explain to the child the fun- damentals of spiritual form, as aif- feréntlatéd “froin the cal, it would not be difficult impress | fupon” him the” iriconceivable con-! nection of paternalism with Deity.” 1 According to the editors ef the institute, which answers |of questions in its service fo own-, God's Grandfather L.
