THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON,--D.--C, SATURDAY, JULY. 6, 1929.-. Religious LQuestions : DISCUSSED BY Dr. S. Parkes Cadman. Q.—As a believer in the theory of evo- lution and also in Christianity, I should like to know at what point in the proc- :a. of evplution man’s soul material- A—Man’s soul goes with the body. It reasonably follows, therefore, that when God produced & human body He also produced for it a human soul. There is a life element in the lower e el orgaibs. - Likewise the organ! W) e life elle’munt., principle or soul in man harmonizes with ical anism. | magnanimity and love. this and their agreement goes far to show that transmigration of souls is im- possible, because a given soul is the concomitant of a given body. What has been said, however, does not ad- vance the answer to your question. It amounts, as I see it, to , that the first human soul emerged into personal these | being when the first human body was evolved. Here we are only playing one end of the problem against the other. But that is about all we can do. If we knew exactly all the Creator's methods in creation, we should be able to allocate the time when and desc the process by which the non-human became the human. But this stupen- dous miracle is one of God's secrets. Q—You recently said in a radi» ad- dress that the Old Testament Psalter was 8 unique book and that we had nothing like it in the New Testament. ‘What about the hymns in the Gospels? A.—The three great lyrics of the New Testament are the Magnifieat, the Benedictus and the Nunc Dimittis. The Magnificat is_charged with personal feeling; the Benedictus with national aspirations, and the Nunc Dimittis with hope for the world. Each is a gem of purest ray serene, shining in the diadem of divine love expressed by the Incarna- tion. Collectively they show that religion begins with the individual. “My soul” is the opening note, but it extends to the nation and is patriotism’s noblest form. “Blessed be the Lord God of our Jsrael” is its watchword. It cul- minates in all mankind. “A light to enlighten the nations.” is the cry of its gospel. Note the order of these three anthems. The Magnificat precedes tie Benedictus and the Nunc Dimittis con- cludes the triology of sacred praise. Those who sang its three numbers separately, yet harmoniously, were of the Jewish race. The Psalter was their ancestral hymnal indispensable, treas- ured, the flower of Hebrew spirituality. Were a vote taken on the favorite Old Testament book, who doubts that the Psalter would win? It is the strongest devotional tie between Jews and Chris- ). You aj r—t—nv hold out a hope of meltlon fm?’;ee?iziom outside the Chris- tian belief. Then why did St. Peter, in Acts iv:13, say, referring to Chyist: PLANS TWO SERMONS. Dr. Ferguson Will Preach on “The Blood Applied.” Rev. Clarence R.

WESTMINSTER CHURCH. “Lesson From Trees of Forest” Is and |1 “Neither is there salvation in any other”? A. I reassert my bellef that the souls of men are not doomed to destruction hereafter because they accept some re- ligion other than the Christ! religion. But this does not prevent me from belleving that the full meaning of man's salvation is to be found only in Chris- tween being “lost” and being pletely saved.” As a matter of fact, the majority of us are in the heart of the “process of being saved,” as the New ‘Testament puts it. \ - ‘We have not vet attained “the meas- ure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” “Saving” a soul is a divine iask, which requires infinitely more than t.h:: 11!2 ;flord.s to accomplish its full intent an W As I see it, a Buddhist or a Moslem is not condemned to eternal darkness for the sole reason that he was loyal to his ancestral faith. Neither does his loyalty entitle him to the spiritual sov- ereignty which Christ’s redemptive work secures for man. He has still to face the revelation of God in Christ and he must see himself and his Creator with the eyes of Christ before he can obtain the universal blessedness Christianity is designed to give. Let, closely considered, is mnot this your condition and mine? When we compare ourselves with the Master, the | in difference between us and the so-called is_not as impressive as it ‘The_spectacle W&h Ci - tian men and Christian states present- ed to the non-Christian world from 1914 to 1918 was not very commenda- lm’{ of their religion. Study that spec- iacle and with it the needs of your own mfi. and leave the fate of non- Christ peoples to Him who will ex- ecute absolute justice, tempered everlasting mercy. Q. How did the Catholic and Re- formed churches handle the divorce pr:!flem in the sixteenth century? Prior to the Reformation, divorce | serjes was forbidden in all Catholic countries. But separations were common. the Reformation the courts of Protes- tant nations held that divorce for adultery was a part of the common law, and the Protestant churches sus- tained this ruling. In Scotland, how- ever, divorce for desertion was enacted by parliament in 1573. The measure provides that if a spouse wilfully de- serts the society of his or her mate and remains in desertion for four years the marriage can then be dissolved. You may be interested to know that secular legislation forbidding divorce for any cause, and based on a text of the New Testament, did not obtain until about five centuries after the Christian era hegan. The Eastern Church has always permitted divorce. The West- ern Church maintained the strict view of the indissolubility of the marriage vow until the Reformation, and the R:mm Catholic Church still maintains Q. We read that Jesus taught His disciples in secret. It is mot fair to assume that through such instructions these chosen men were given the keys to a sclentific, constructive, spiritual development far exceeding that of ordi- persons?

A. There never were any esoteric formulas in original Christianity or Judaism. Many attempts were made to inject them into these religions, but the zealous of their purity rendered these efforts abortive.

In the main it §s a construction of the twelfth and th centuries, but it is known that the choir and crypt were built as early as 1157.
