JESUS THE SON’ TOPIC Early in the sixth century, when the glory of the Roman empire was being momentarily revived by the great Christian _emperor, Justinian, and when St. Benedict was founding upon Monte Cassino his glorfous _institute, which was to create new civilization and preserve for them the treasures of the old, in far-off Ireland, then called Scotfa, the pious youth, Ci scended from the proud line of the warrior princess of Ulster, was being educated in sacred and profane learn- ing in the monastery of St. Finian of Moville. Having determined to conse- crate his life to the service of the Most High, he embraced the ecclesiastical state’ and_continued his studies for a while at the great school of Clonard.

Golden text: “I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.”—John, x:10. A prominent educator recently said that people were more interested in the recreation of the tired man than they were in the recreation of the lost man. The Christian’s first business is to help restore the past image of the Creator, that has been effaced by sin. Men are commencing to understand the close re- lationship that exists between the recreational activities of a people and their religious experience. ~They are realizing that genuine spiritual service can be performed in the development of Christian _character by supervised recreational activities, ~Workers with children know that it is easier to save a child’s soul and develop his char- acter through play, properly directed, than it is to reclaim him after he has been brought into a juvenile court. If there were no relationship between rec- reation and spiritual service, this lesson would never ha been assigned. > Many sincere Christians oppose the active part by the Christian people in the recreational program of the commu- nity. ‘They fail to find any evidence in their study of the Old Testament that the Hebrew people ever took any active part in recreational activities. The Jews have always been a serious people and they did not look with favor upon play. The Greeks and the Ro- mans went to the extreme in their in- terest in athitics, During the days of the Maccabean period, when Greek cul- ture was making its inroads upon Ju- daism in Judea and elsewhere, one of the sources of the antagonism of the older and strict Jews to the Maccabean influence was due to the fact that it carried with it the theater and gym- nasium. The Puritans took a similar position, In fact, it will be difficult to find in either the Old or New Testa- ment afly specific instructions in refer- ence to recreation. The selections as- signed for our consideration do not fur- nish any definite instructions concern- ing play, yet play preceded work in all generations known to man. In every excavation of the past the archeologist comes across the playthings of the child. The Christian's Duty. While the Scriptures are silent con- cerning specific directions in reference to recreation, the references to play re- veal the principles that should guide the Christian in performing his duty in re- gard to all forms of recreation. The followers of the Lord Jesus will find in His principles a demand that calls for them to face the problem of recre- ation, which, with the development of cities and industrial expansion, taken from men the older opportunit; of play, which is & part of life itself. Commercialism reduces the number of participants in all recreational activities. Money, and not the value of play, has determined the standards and the character of much of our modern recre- ational life. This develops the profes- sional and frequently is the foundation of much of our modern iniquity. Sur- veys of great cities have revealed the fact “that some of the commercial and Men’s Bible Class will be addressed by Representative Albert R. Hall of In- iana. The Every Girls' class and Sunday school will meet at the same ime.

At 7 o'clock the topic “What Is Worship” will be dis- cussed under the leadership of Mrs. W. P, Harman, At the Thursday midweek prayer service Mr. Gregory will speak on “The Psalms in Humanh Life.” In the hour grecefllnl the prayer service will be eld the second lesson period of the classes in Christian education which started last Thursday. There are three of these classes: “Training for Church tian Work,” William Knowles pe; 'he Parables of Jesus” (class especiaily for young people), Miss Mabel N, Thurston; “Some Social Teachings of the Bible,” Rev.

A meeting of the Washington McAll Auxiliary will be held in the chapel Wednesday at 11 a.m. tians must face these facts and grapple with the public problems they present with an alertness, aggressiveness and an attitude that will use the social, physical, mental and moral values in the development of Christian character and the prevention of delinquency. Christianity was introduced into the world as a message of great joy. No people are better fitted to enjoy life in all its various phases than the Chris- tians. Recreation should promote health, happiness and the home life of the people if it is to have the stamp of approval of the Christians. Recreation that fails to promote one’s mental and spiritual life is detrimental. Play is an inevitable influence upon one’s charac- ter. Any form of recreation that breaks one's communion with God, attendance of His church and share in the work of developing His kingdom calls for the Christian’s refusal to participate. All things are permissible for a Christian, but whenever anything that one enjoys along recreational lines is injurious to his own life or hinders his influence as a Christian, then he should refuse to take part in it for the glory of his Lord and the advancement of His kingdom among men. Christ’s reference to the games of the children reveals His interest in their life. He may have taken part as a boy in mimicking a wedding, and possibly even a funeral. He failed to say a word in condemnation of the sports that had been introduced by the Romans. Paul showed his keen interest in athletics and drew illustrations from the stadium. The Master’s controversy with His ene- mies over His disciples plucking corn as they passed through a field on the Sabbath has been a subject of great controversy. His statement that “the Sabbath was made for man” has been misconstrued when used for the secu- | larization of the Sabbath. It was set apart so that man could commune with God and recreate by the ministries of that day his spiritual, physical and in- tellectual life. Recreational Activities. Recreational activities that will re- celve the indorsement of the Christian should be of a change of occupation. Recreation to be of real value must call into action all the physical, mental and spiritual forces in a way that will have a keen interest and a sense of ab- solute freedom. It ought to call into action the otherwise unused powers in a way that would make one better fitted to perform his task in life. This lesson does not seek to impress the need of recreation, but does call for us to con- sider the proper form our recreation should take. Scientists tell us that it is wrong to repress natural longings. Un- less that desire is guided by Christian ideals and principles so that responding to the natural desire should promote the clean community co-operation in recrea- tional activities, it would convert “the community into a madhouse.” During the days of the prophets the children could play with safety and joy in the city streets. Not so today. Thi places upon the church and community the duty of providing for the recrea- tional Jife of the children. There, in their play, they will learn to be honest, truthful, courageous and thoroughly co- operative in team work. “Play is a sacred thing, & divine ordinance for de- veloping in the child a harmonious and health organism and preparing that organism for the commencement of the interdenominational young people’s rally to be held .iuvel;nbs‘ 8, ul)l \;lhé;h Dr. Ross Stover, D.

To the little apostolic band, at their own request, the king granted the island of Tona for a habitation; and as soon as they returned to it they erected a few rude huts upon its eastern side, with a little chapel of wattles in the midst. ‘There they lived in simple plety, deriving their sustenance from the soil and the surrounding waters, while devoting most of their time to ethian, de- | Cathedral of lona~~Scotland. study and prayer and the copying of the seriptures and other books, making periodical missionary tours, sometimes full df nameless perils. For 34 years St. Columba apostolized Scotland ‘and the" Hebrides, without ever ceasing to maintain a tender watc™ over his spiritual children in his own beloved Erin. For centuries pligrims flocked to I-Columbkille, “the Isle of Columba's Cell,” from every part of Western | Europe. Kings and princes coveted | the privilege of burial there, and no- |where could the ambitious student or aspiring devotee hope for more oppor- tunities for the acquisition of learning and holiness. For 200 years the peaceful spiritual splendor of this great abode of all the virtues was undimmed; but then began the terrible devastations of the grim pirates who swarmed from the Scandi- navian ports. Over and over again the churches ahd monastery buildings of Tona were burned, and the holy religious expelled or massacred. In the midst of these horrors the Columban order finally disappeared; but in the eleventh century a colony of Cluniac monks re-established the Iona monastery. St. Margaret of Scot- land, the devout queen of Malcom fCanmore, then rebuilt St. Columba's little church, which she dedicated to | St. Odhrain, the most celebrated of his companions, and the first of them to die upon the island. This chapel is still standing, and near it is the ancient burying ground, in which lie no less than 48 kings of Scotland, four of Ireland and eight of Norway. The large abbatial church was built in the twelfth century, and afterward became the cathedral of the bishop of the Isles, and so remained down to the sixteenth century when the island was devastated by the Calyinists. From that day to this it has been in ruins, like all Ihe smaller religious edifices on the sland.

Have you & single proof thac Jesus ever accepted that personal homage which I as & Jew belleve be- longs only to God? A. Have you considered the scene in the home of Lazarus at Bethany (St. Luke, x. 38)? There our Lord addressed imperishable words to Martha when she resented her sister Mary's absorbing devotion to Him. For Mary treated Him as the source of divine light and wisdom, and He ratified her attitude. Unless He was what she believed Him to be, how could so perfectly sincere a soul as His have allowed her to re- main under a delusion? Here are His words: ‘“Martha, Martha, thou art cumbered and dis- tracted about many things, but one thing is needful (indispensabie), for Mary hath chosen the good part which shall not be taken away from her.” Jew and Christian have food for re- flection in this passage and its imipi- cations. ‘Turn now to the great confession at Caesarea, Philippl, related by the three evangelists, St. Mark, viil.27-29; St. Matthew, xvi13-16, and St. Luke, ix. 18-27, 'The inspired outburst of St. Peter, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God!” was declared by the Master to be the revelation of the spirit of God to the apostle. After our Lord’s resurrection these tributes increased in number and magnitude of meaning. Consult for their later forms the Acts of the Apostles and the Epistles. Q. If Christ was co-equal and co- eternal with God, how could He die for our sins? A. God, considered as the Supreme Spirit, has lived forever and will for- ever live in the boundless power of His own life. Therefore. bodily death is entirely foreign to His nature, Never- theless, according to the Scriptures and the witness of believers, Christ as the i world. Christian theology meets your diffi- culty in two cardinal doctrines of the Tflnl‘t&/.md the Incarnation. The first formulates Christian consciousness by His oneness has a threefold manifesta- tion in the Father, the Son and the Spirit. The second states that in pur- suance of the divine will the Son “as- sumed our flesh and became incarnate as a man.” This dedication of Himself involved human birth, existence and death. Because of the values of His personality His death had the divine significance already mentioned. If you inquire about that significance, allow me to refer you to the New Tes- tament, which records the originating experiences of the Christian religion. One of the most characteristic asser- tions of the gospels and epistles is that “Jesus Christ, by the grace of God, tasted death for every man.” In this and countless other ways too vast and sublime for our unaided apprehension the Eternal Son of the Father died for the spiritual life of the race. Q. God, in the sense of an unknown power or intelligence, overwhelmingly awe-inspiring, accounting for the in- tricate yet orderly working of all that is, ever was or ever shall be, seems in- escapably reasonable though hopelessly incomprehensible. But the God to whom we may appeal for assured atten- tion to our personal needs and desires does not seem reaspnable to me. Any help that seemed to come as the result of prayer appears quite capable of ex- on al laws or mhdprol.l‘all;n Dt cip] pey- “The Menace of Atheism” will be the - Son of God died for the sins of the| B.

Parkes Cadman. and comfort of faith for myself and others, I lorg to believe in God in an intimately personal sense if conviction can square with reason. Can you suggest in simple language evidence for such a belief—something other than trustful acceptance of a sort of mental and emotional opiate? A. Be on your guard against the as- sumption that the psychological de- scription of any given human experi- ence is the final explanation of that experience. Our spiritual life is as com- pletely controlled by law as our physical life. In order to be healthy in body there are certain courses we must pur- sue and others we must avoid. This process implies that there is a reality with which we make definite contact by our actions. These put us in touch with the laws of physical welfare. It is in doing, not in speculating, that we satisfy life’s resistless demands. Would you cease eat because you do not understand the chemical reactions and physiology of eating, or say that in eat- ing you were really deceiving yourself? Consider the law that governs your spiritual being. Its evidence is clear and unmistakable in your own ex- perience. So much you concede in your question. Yet 'you hesitate to believe that prayer connects you with a larger and a nobler life. Why this hestitation, when undeniable proofs exist that prayer makes a difference in the spiritual life as surely as do hygienics and proper diet in the physical? Your objection is doubtless that the difference is due to a self-induced state of mind. What if it is, provided that state elevates and energizes your soul? {1t is far more reasonable to consider |the possibility that prayer is the | vinely ordained means for this inward elevation and energizing. Prayer is action. It leads to results. You rise from your knees a better man, (with a firmer will, a clearer judgment, a loftier purpose. Devout people pray because they covet these spiritual gifts. If we believe in the God whom Christ revealed we must also necessarily be- lieve that such gifts are in accordance holding that while God is eternally one, with His will. Place these realities together—the reality that the very act of prayer affects desirable changes in you and the rest of us with the fact that, from all we know of the God of the prophets and of the Christ, those changes have His countenance and sup- port. Review the whole case as thus presented and where is the difficulty of believing that prayer is-that law by obedience to which men and women are more intimately related to the Father of all souls.
