Golden Text—"Ask, and it shall be given unto you: scek, and ye d it shall be " — Matthew Our lesson gives a revelation of the | Master engaged in foreign missionary work. The only time that Jesus went beyond the boundaries of Palestine dur- ing His public ministry we find Him traveling in the heathen country of Phoenicia and visiting the pagan cities of Tyre and Sidon. The distance to ! both of these Mediterranean cities was not great. Thirty-five miles direct | north from the Sea of Galilee would | bring Him into the City of Tyre. Twenty-five miles further north and He was in the City of Sidon. He did not enter the territory of Phoenicia for the } purpase of doing missionary work among these ancient seafaring men and | traders. Our lessons give us in the passages assigned several experiences that point | out the motives that prompted Christ to enter Tyre and Sidon. When He made his second visit to His boyhood home fhe Master detected the evidence of | hostility among the people who had | known Him nearly all of His life.

His heart was moved with compassion and, He tested the apostles’ faith by telling them to feed the 5,000 who had followed them into the desert place, where there was no opportunity for them to secure the necessary food. He demonstrated His sympathy for the hungry multitude by a miracle that made the few fishes and wafers of & boy's lunch to more than supply the crowd. It started a miove- ment to make Him their king, that made His ministry a difficult one for a season.

THE EV. Sch(')ol Lesson y. A contest followed with the religious authorities from Jerusalem, who had reached Capernaum _determined to crush the Master, about ceremonial ablution. The mass of the people did not understand the technical and theological differences between their ccclestastical leaders and the Master. They showed their loyalty to Him in such a manner that Jesus recognized that the hour demanded that He retire for a season with His disciples into Phoenicia, where He expected that, free from the persecution of His enemies and the peril of Herod's power, He could continue to teach the twelve while they rested among the mountains of the nearby heathen country.

Some temples are actially sacred to animals; for in the eyes of the Hindoos all life is sacred, and it seems to many of them a crime to ill-treat or to kill even in- sects and reptiles. There is, not far from Nassick, a hospital for animals, where sick or wounded dogs, cats, rab- bits, monkeys and birds are protected and even carefully nursed until they re- cover or die.

Parkes Cadman. Q. You have stated in your answers that Christianity allows freedom of thought and also that it sets up a fixed standard of life and conduct. How do you reconcile such inconsistent state- ments? A. In the realm of interpretation all sincere presentations of the New Testa- iment faith are welcome to unprejudiced minds. But in the realm of conduct that faith maintains fixed codes of right and wrong. The old Testament prophets were scornful of offerings and sacrifices made by rites and profiteers. Read Isaiah, Micah, Hosea and Amos in proof of the foregoing statement. Those who bemuse themselves by observing religion’s outward forms at the cost of its inward discipline are treated by biblical writers with impatience and rebuke. St. Paul and St. John approach the Christian mysteries from _different standpoints and St. James follows a third line peculiarly his own. Yet they are one in the affirmation, “This de, because it is right.” ‘There is no inconsistency here. On the contrary, the teacher who supposes his explanation of Divine Truth is the solely correct one is grossly inconsistent with that Truth’s manifold wisdom and significance. But every explanation of such truth must be judged by its beneficial effect, or otherwise, on life and character. Q. Wil you kindly explain an apparent _ discrepancy between the Apostles Creed and the Gospel? The creed says, “He was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell,” etc., whereas Christ sald to the thief on the cre “Today thou shalt be with me in Paradise.” Do you realy think that Christ descended into hell? Why should He? Personally I do not believe in any such place, but, admitting its existence, was not Christ's sacrifice completed with His crucifixion? A. The phrase to which you object late in the fourth century, and its com- mon use dates much later than that period. Why it was eventually included is difficult to explain. One reason may have been that men felt the benefits of Christ’s grace should be made known to all mankind, dead as well as living. This would seem to be the meaning of I Peter iii, 19. But Dr. Rendel Harris has re- cently suggested that a slight adjust- ment of the Greek text would make this passage refer to Enoch’s journey to the lower world as described in the apocryphal “Book of Enoch.” TOPIC ANNOUNCED BY REV.

The Latin ferna. or inferos and the Greek katotata should be translated by the word Hades (also & Greek word), which has the general senfe of “underworld.”, That under- world might include “paradise” (in the sense of a place of blessedness) and “gehenna” (in the sense of a place of torment). See Christ's parable of the rich man and Lazarus in St. Luke xvi. 19-31 (revised translation). Christ and the penitent thief could, therefore, be in both hades and paradise at the same time, but not in hell and paradise at the same time. The phrase in question, however. is a difficult aé\e,nm? m:‘::ey chg:g};fi have dropj altogether. leave it ogteluml with the officlating minister and his congregation whether to repeat it or not. Still others per- mit the alternative rendering, “the place of departed spirits.” In the older theology the descent was regarded as a part of the total scheme of our Lord's redemption: His humiliation had to be complete in order that His exalta- tion might be perfect. Q. Why did Moses, who gave the Jews such an admirable health code, wholly ignore the insanitary habit of cultivating a long and flowing beard, with its susceptibility to germ collect- 2 A. Have you forgotten the advice twice given in the Old Testament: “Tarry at Jericho till your beards be grown?” To the Oriental these natural products of the human face divine, which you scarify, signified manhood’s maturity, wisdom and strength. Ortho- dox Jews cling to these ancient mean- ings. Hence the whiskers. But other times, other customs. Anclent Greeks and Romans practiced the clean shave with notable excep- tions, as in the idealizations of Homer, Socrates and other classic celebrities. The bare faced man is triumphant to- day. But who knows whether tomor- row will not usher in Burnsides, Dun- drearys and Van Dykes? Charles Kingsley denounced the beardless man as enthusiastically as you applaud him. ‘The Arab tribes lived in torrid heal Yet they affect the old-fashioned beard, and their wHite-haired sheiks mounted on fiery steeds are a sight for the gods. So runs the checkered tale and with it the barber’s rise or fall. Do you prefer Lincoln clean shaven? I per- sonally do not, but perhaps I lack good taste.
