It is the last of a series of churches crected on the site, the first one having been built of wood by Clovis in the year 504 A.D, and reconstructed by Pepin-le-Bref and Charlemagne 300 years later. Pillage, fire and lightning caused repeated damage, and when, in the year 1007, a new structure was thought of, nothing but the crypt of the ancient structure remained. A new building was completed in the next cen- tury by Bishop Warner, but this, too, fell a victim to fire shortly after its completion and only a mass of debris remained in 1277 when the present HERE are 15 churches in Stras- I burg, the ancient Argentoratum His theme will be “Some Traits of Eng- lish Religious Life.” Next Thursday evening a special serv- ice is planned.

There would be no such uvzre B le if everybody was engaged in bor. ‘The program of Chrlaulnlty calls for all Christians to follow the Lord’s ex- ample of working. He taught us l.hn “Our Father in Heaven” had been a worker and that He was a worker. He saved us so that we could be trained to win men for Him and His church. He called us not only to be saved, but He has given to every Christian a mis- xx‘m‘\ to help Him save sinners and so- clef Nehemlnh refused to be turned aside from his efforts for the welfare of his nation by the invitation of their en- emies, He remained loyally at his work, because his realized impor- tance. We sometimes fail to make the most out of labor, because we neglect to value it as highly as we ought. The Christian is a co-worker with his Lord in helping to develop the Kingdom of God. Work plays ah important in the development of our characiers. There is no better protection against falling into the snares of Satan than to be busy about the Master’s business, We keep out bodies fit for His service best by being engaged in useful work. Ruskin has pointed out that largest quantity and best quality of work will not be turned out by man, who is an engine whose soul is its mo-, tive power, under pressure or for pay. He says that “It will be done on when the motive force, that is to say, when the will or spirit of the creature is brought to its greatest strength by its own proper fuel, namely, by the af- fections.” The labor of the nation constitutes its very life. The applica- tion of Christian principles to the labor problems promotes peace, prosperity and power to all conditions Df society be- cause it unites nll classes, employers and employes, a common task of building up Ch.nst's Kingdom !.hroulh their love and labor for Lord Jesus. ‘The Master Workers.

The duty to work has been taught us by the world's greatest teachers, both by precept and practice, so that we ought to recognize the truth of the words of Maltbie Babcock: We are not here to play, to dream, to dri We have hard work to do and loads to W Bun, mot the strussle; face it; 'tls God's Christianity has already made a great difference’ in the men from the Ea.st and from the West by its me of work and_ ideals of service for otl ers benefit. It has given the world some social ideals that ought to guide our labor. It teaches us that “It is what you are working for, rather than your industry, that counts.” Christians can- not be engaged in any line of activities that would hinder the development of the kingdom of God. We are called to enter the fleld of labor and act upon the principle of “Work to have to give to God, to others; if you don’t you can't.” Some Modern Perils. ‘We are living in an age that has wit- nessed & complete change in the indus- trial world. The advent of machinery and mass production has brought man blessings to men, but it also has pre. sented some serious perils that Presi- dent Cutten of Colgate has pointed out. He states that “the result of our un- limited, unorganized, unled and uncon- trolled ' leisure is the gravest danger to which any nation has been exposed. This is the great threat of leisure, which we may now see; the fruition of such conditions in the lack of self-restraint as evidenced by the waves of crime with which we are now deluged. Our laws the | and national propaganda have been against overwork of people in general and certain classes in particular. We face a greater danger in underwork—or at least in underemployment, for the latter may be even more fatal,” for the leisure has found many unprepared to use it to an advantage. In assigning this lesson, the lesson committee has suggested that it be used to teach the evils of gambling, which is one of the most gigantic evils of mod- ern soclety. It probably causes more ruin and Irreparable dismay than any other social peril of our day. The gam- bler is a parasite who fails to contribute by his labor to the advancement of so- ciety or human welfare, When Davi® was in danger he once expressed a de- sire for a drink of the water from the old home well. Men who loved him risked their lives to secure it for him in Bethlehem. When it was brought to him he refused to drink the water that had been secured at such a great risk of human life. Shall we continue to rrmlt gambling at the price of broken earts and shattered homes?

The new structure was erected largely by the ald of Masonic lodges, the lodge at Strasburg being earliest in the north of which we have any knowledge. Ervin von Steinback seems to have been at the head of it; and his lodge, supported by the powerful Rudolph of Hapsburg, maintained great order and obedience among the workmen under its jurisdic- tion. In 1278 Pope Nicholas II issued a bull, giving the body absolution, and The Cathedral, Strasburg. this was renewed by his successors up to_the time of Benedict XII. ‘The most conspicuous part of the cathedral is, of course, the lone spire, which rises to a height of 440 feet, and from which one can see three mountain ranges; the group of the German Black Forest to the north; the Vosges to the west; and the Alps to the south. It is a tlara of stone crowned with a cross, prodigious, gigantic, but of great deli- cacy. In it have reposed some of the great clocks of the middle ages, the first one having been installed in the thir- teenth century, to be succseded by a greater one in 1574. This in turn gave place to the third, which has been hanging in the belfry since 1842, Usually church edifices are grim and gray; but Strasburg presents, in its sandstone of the Vosges, a beautiful tone, which in the westering sun of a Summer’s day can only be described as a rose-pink, and is like no other church edifice in Europe. In the vaulted chamber attached to the cathedral proper are two mummies, which for their better preservation have been varnished. One is the mummy of the Count of Nassau-Saarbruck, who died in the sixteenth century; the other is that of a girl, perhaps 20 years of age, supposed to have been his daughter.

Religious uestions DISCUSSED BY 3 Dr. S. Parkes Cadman. Q. Is not the Gospel by St. Luke the work of a Gentile? Would you kindly tell us something of the personal his- m 70{ the author of this remarkable A. The third Gospel should be credited to a Gentile whose contribution to the sacred story emphatically enriches it. St. Luke, or Lucanus, “the good phy: cian,” may have been the son of a Greek freedman from Lucania, in southern Italy. His identification with Lucius of Cyrene, however, is a specu- lation, although there was a well known medical school there. His familiarity with the synagogue is evidenced by his knowledge of the Septuaguint, and his world outlook by the humanistic fe: tures characteristic of his writings. He accompanied St. Paul on his sec- ond missionary journey, possibly as his medical attendant, and thereafter was closely associated with the apostle until his martyrdom. A credible tradition re- ports that St. Luke died in at the age of seventy-four. ditions, to the effect that he was one of the Seventy and that he painted a, portrait of the Virgin, have not suffi- clent trustworthy backgrounds to war- rant their acceptance. We are indebted to this evangelist for accounts of the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Sheg_herds the Manger, the Child in the Temple, the zeal of Zaccheus, the journey to Emmaus, and the matchless prayer on the Cross: “Father, forgive '-hfl'n for they know not what they do.” Jm-ableq pe- culiar to his gospel inclus Good Samaritan, the Rich Fool, the Prodis Son, and the Lost Bheep It is the evangel of womanhood, of psalmody, of a marked breadth in happy contrast to all provincialism and racial preference. Q. Does the Judgment day take place at death or at resurrection? A. One answer to this question pre- supposes & traditional theological scheme which is now under fire. Not & few Christian thinkers have sur- rendered the belief in a final assize following the general resurrection of the dead. But the danger of their po- sition is that it also involves the sur- render of the tremendous moral urge which goes with the older view. ‘Without dogmatizing on the issue, I affirm my personal belief in the con- r,epvan of a general judgment. In any case, we can sus the moral stimu- lus its anticipation imparts by stress- ing the supreme truth that every hu- man life is under the operation of the “law of the harvest.” It is a universal presumption that we are equipped with the mysterious power of deciding on our attitude toward that law. No nor- mal man or woman denies human re- sponsibility. Those who have faith in a personal God that elnhlv justice is but the feeble replica of Hi justice. Those who accept the mnn- dates of consclence are aware that its verdicts imply a far higher authority which will presently enforce them, Nothing can abrogate these verities of common experience. They point to that moment spoken of by the Scrip- tures, “It is appointed unto man once to die, and after death the jlldman o by ‘Truly, death is the first the dechlve factors are vlut man is vb;no m;e“hll death, :1 he must, and how appear fore '.ha All-lun lnfl thah:fl-mnd!ul ‘The cl’ his moral eondlfinn should be hken into account.

P, Human Judgments” deals with this as- pect of the ultimate tribunal. Q. Why don't the churches get to- gether and have a house cleaning— eliminate fanaticism, hypocrisy, super- stition, bigotry, politics, stop their ever- lasting wrangling over dogmas nld creeds, follow the A!.mple teachings of Christ and the golden rule and llve the average citizen a common religion? I have in mind not only Prot- estants, bu‘wt tcl"ltl'noll!ea 'nm: no reason Wl ese two great groups should not come together. If the churches only could see their chance, a wonderful opportunity awaits them. Why can'’t this be done? A. Because human nature stands in the way. Its diversities have not yet had the full swing of th:lr orbit and until they do we shall wise to avoid forced unification, whlch, when scrutinized, is a contradiction in te: Oneness is a frowth and its lnum- tions are tantal slow. Not only chriamns. buc ‘members of all world religions, generate differences and shape them into separatisms. New Testament believers were no sooner in the church than they began to de- clare: “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of Paul.” The disposition to claim divine authority and the monopoly of its righteousness prevails extensively among countless sects in all ratni.leg faiths. What ‘of this? Certainly it does not justify counsels of despair. On reflec- tion we percelve that such a mixup cnnnol be permanent. It is reasonable lieve that the |A but the theater for a greater un! to be forged out of those very dmer- ences and a harmony involved in and arising out of our present discords. Nature furnishes a striking g:rlhle of the process. She heaps her ful provisions on the now strata which were formerly wlvu ot volcanic lava. She turns glaciers into fructifying rivers and makes the deso- lation of one eon the prosperity of the next. The Creator's infinite patience is in- dicative of His eternal wisdom. The resistless urge of His methods recog- nizes no hasty invention of man. He must toe the line and advance accord- ing to the progress of the whole move- ment of life. Wait patiently on a very patient God and be thankful that He will not pluck the fruit before it is ripe, mor_join with untempered mortar the edifice of a new reli unity the foundation stones for which are not yet iuiacienuy shaped for that great ob- ective. Since He wills humanity's consolida~ tlon, what shall withstand that will? In this 1s my hope, which I would fain ttlon be of no service for man’s extraordinary | o, demands.
