Paul's English Lutheran Fi- | Review — Devotional Isaiah 1i:2-4. 5 Golden text—“Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God" Matthew xvi :16. reading. We conclude with this week's lesson | our studies in the gospel of Matthew that have occupied our thoughts and teachings for the past six months. Dur- ing our studies we have seen how the writings of Matthew have been charac- |terized by distinctive Hebrew tone, thought and diction. Although Mat- thew may have been considered by his countrymen to have been disloyal to ihis race and nation when he became a publican and collected taxes from his countrymen for the Roman Empire, yet when he became an apostle of Jesus Christ Matthew appears to have had a peculiar desire to convert his fellow countrymen to accept Jesus Christ as the Messiah. In writing the first Gospel, Matthew selected the works and words of the | Master and grouped His miracles and messages with a view of persuading the Jews of his day to accept Jesus as the | king concerning whom the prophets had spoken. We have observed this atti- | tude springing_out in our lessons. Scholars have found it in his use of isolated words and phrases. His group- ing of the Master's messages, especially in the Sermon on the Mount, where it appears as the Messiah’s proclamation of the principles of His kingdom, his combination of the Master’s miracles and of his parables, all show how eager Matthew was to convince the Jews that | Jesus was their long-expected King or | | Messiah. Some .ca his biographical record the Gospel the Kingdom, while others speak of it as the King's Gospel. This fact makes it natural for | this review lesson to be stidied under the theme, “The Meaning of Christian Discipleship.” Essential Christian Character. Most of our quarter’s studies have taken up the essential charpcter that the followers of Christ ought to pos- sess according to the Lord’s teaching. Our opening lesson contained the chal- lenge of the cross. PFrom His birth to His crucifixion, Jesus had faced the cross. He came into the world that He might bear humanity's sins upon the cross. He calls upon all who would be His disciples “to deny self, take up the cross and follow me.” Our Lord does not request us to do anything that He would not do Himself. He taught by nance Campaign Is < Progressing. < In the campaign for $100,000 now being conducted by St. Paul's English Lutheran Church to finance the con- struction of the first unit of tne new church, at Connecticut avenue and Elli- cott street, the total sum reported to date is $85,000.

It was not easy for his followers to grasp the call to the cross. We frequently fail to hear its call for us to surrender, sacri- fice and serve Him, who is our King. When Jesus found the apostles were considering the possible positions and privileges that would be open to them in the political kingdom that they ex- pected was about to be established, He sought to correct their ideals of great- ness by using a child. He rebuked their self-seeking and selfish desires by using the child to teach them that one of the greatest graces, if not the greatest, was humility. Except men possess the child- like spirit they cannot enter the king- dom of God. The child is teachable, trustful, and can be trained along the right lines, which is why Jesus longs to ;;n“‘: parents bring their little ones to ‘The child is ready to forgive and for- get; when possibly its parents have an- other spirit. Forgiveness is one of the basal foundations for the possession of a Christlike character. Unless we pos- sess the spirit of mercy, how can we pray, “Father, forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.” “An un- forgiving spirit reveals an unrepentant heart, and divine forgiveness cannot be bestowed without repentance.” ‘The rich young ruler, whose moral life and position in the community was THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, By Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. the highest, when called upon to conse- crate his whole life to the Master, found that, in spite of his claims, money had & grip upon him. We cannot serve God and Mammon. Many men today fail their Lord when the pocketbook nerve is touched. When Jesus demanded from His followers self-sacrifice, He meant it, although its real meaning has almost been destroyed today by its popular use. ‘When James and John approached Jesus through their mother, whom some hold was an aunt of the Lord, seeking assyrance that they should obtain the leading places in the kingdom that they expected would soon be established, they were taught the value of selfeeffacement. It is oneof the essential marks of a Christlike character. He taught them that promotion -in His kingdom was made on the basis of service and not favoritism, The King's Personality. During the Master's last week the personality of Jesus as King was seen in many different ways. When He made His triumphal entrance, our Lord entered riding upon the ass’ colt, which was in accordance with prophecy. The people recognized His claim to the Mes- siahship; they sang His hosannas and gave Him a popular welcome as the Messiah. When criticized for allowing the people to consider and welcome Him as King, Jesus declared that “If these held their peace, the stones will cry out.” During the Master's last week among men in the flesh He entered Jerusalem and taught boldly in the temple. We studied His teachings upon the great day of the feast, when He called for the observance of the law by His fol- lowers. He, pointed out that love was the foundation for the complete ob- servance of the law. He met the catch questions of His enemies, teaching them in answer to one of their questions the truths concerning separation of church and state. While conditions have changed, the application of the princi- ples that Jesus proclaimed is .!!El ap- plicable to our age and problems. We studled in “one of the most searching, solemn and sublime” of all of Christ's parables our duty to be faithful in our service during His ab- sence in preparing for His return as King of. Kings. The parable of the virgins impressed upon us our duty to be always prepared for His coming. In the parable of the talents we learned our obligation to be faithful to His kingdom. He has entrusted us with re- sponsibilities in connectipn with His church and kingdom that calls for us to be faithful trustees to Him in con- nection with our stewardship. We went with Jesus to Gethsemane, Golgotha and the grave. We saw Him in the shadow of the cross ask that the cup, if possible, be passed from Him. We saw Him submit Himself to God's will and saw that He had His prayer answered and was ready when His enemies arrived to arrest him. We followed Him through His so-called trials, which lacked the spirit of jus- tice, and saw Him die upon the cross as a sacrifice for the sins of men. He died as a King and showed His power by breaklnf the bonds of death. In ou rEaster lesson and last week’s study we considered Christ’s resurrection. His triumph over the grave demonstrated that He was what He claimed to be and became the foundation for the disciples accepting His claims that He possessed “all authority in heaven and on earth.” In that final conference, as well as in the meeting in Galilee, Jesus ordered His disciples to evangelize the world, enlist all the newly made dis- cl{)lel and educate them to observe all His teachings. Having accepted and approved the confession of Peter that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the Living God, there awaits nothing for us to do but be obedient to Him and help him win all nations for Him. When every knee shall bow and eve: tongue confesses Him as their Lord an King a new era of peace and good will shall be opened among all nations.

Famous Church Church of St. Bar Czechoslovakia, OHEMIA, part of modern Czecho- slovakia, takes its name from , the Celtic race that first occupied the territory. They were expelled by the Marco- manni, who were supplanted in the sixth century by the Czechs, the Sla- vonic race which is still predominant in the land. Catholicity was intro- duced about 894 by the Basilian artist- apostle, St Methodius, and in the fol- lowing centuries the country became celebrated for the grandeur and beauty of its many churches. But the picture of beautiful churches is marred by the blood, the eternal fighting, the constant turmoil that al- ways come in the path of religious ha- treds, for hatreds there were, engen- dered by the influx of foreigners from Italy, France and even distant England, and the history of ancient Bo- hemia, particularly during the thir-| teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth cen- | turies, 18 one of murder, war and fire, all carried on in the name of the Prince of Peace.

Q. Is there not a danger that in building beautiful churches we shall forget the beauty of holiness? A. Yes, and there is also a danger that in confusing ugliness with piety we shall demoralize religion, I% is plain that long drawn aisles, fretted vaults, storied windows d elaborate symbols are not God's bread for hun- gry souls. But they furnish its ap- propriate setting and can be quite as easily filled with spiritual fervor as barns labeled as sanctuaries. The Bible exhorted Israel to bring to her ancient temple the most per- fect craftsmanship and the choicest sacrifices of which she was capable. From the artistic standpoint this adornment of the Lord's house cul- tivated the esthetic senses so0 pro- nouncedly lacking in the monothe- istic Hebrews who rightfully dreaded idol worship. On the other hand, the Moslem rulers lavished their best work upon the architecture of their prin- | cipal mosques and fairly challenged the splendor of Medieval Gothic. The effect of unattractive churches on the younger generation is important in this connection. Too oftén they sre dragged to churches which outrage their imagination with depressing sights of cheap or tawdry decoration: To live In marble halls and worship in plain and barren meeting houses is not a constructive policy. The oft- quoted example of humble and perse- cuted believers who communed witlt heaven from the bare heath or in way- side places does not apply to our age. What we need is the spirit of those heroes, expressed in the best achitec- |ture we can devise, filling its struc- | tures with whole-hearted praisc to God and 'vows of service for our fellow men. Q. Why does the Church of Rome try to claim the title Catholic? Are not the other churches which claim and use it as justified as the papacy? A. Every church which is univer- sal in its scope is entitled to use this much disputed title. I have no inten- tion of bestowing titles on churches which are not of their own choosing, yet should the Methodist churches, ‘which are found in pretty much every land, unite and call themselves Catholic Methodists, who could reasonably object? Exclusive claims to the name Cath- olic, however, aggravate the issue you present. Some members of the An- gelican communions of Great Britain assert that they are justified in using it So does the Eastern orthodox church. Indeed the patriarch of the Armenian church is designated “Cath- olicos,” and I have not heard of any successful challenge to his right to use that designation. ' It is indisputable that the common understanding of the term restricts the title to our brethren who _render obedience to the Holy See. But be- lief in “one holy Catholic and apos- tolic church” is held by the vast ma- jority of all Christians, and they avow it in their professional creeds. ‘The pity of it is that inherited and still active doctripal and ecclesiastical differences make the term Catholic an ideal rather than a realized factor for all the churches. Q. Will you please explain the Par- able of the Ten Virgins (Matthew, xxv, 1-2)? Do the five foolish vir- gins represent the saved or- the un- saved class? A. The true meaning of this parable, as I interpret it, is its emphasis of the Parkes Cadman. need for Christian foresight. The Greek word translated “wise” does mot have the same significance as the word “sophos,” which is also translated by the English word “wise” It rather suggests that prudent survey of life which prompts one to build up reserves against its delays and disappointments Turn to St Matthew vii, 24, where this quality of character was displayed by those who built their foundations on the rock and made the structure storm- roof, while others who refused to dig low the sand saw their buildings shattered by the hurricane. The Epistle to the Hebrews tells us we have need of patience because the development of God’s kingdom here on earth must endure what seem to be useless postponements. Some sincere bellevers who long for its speedy es- tablishment lose heart and demand su- pernormal manifestations of that king- dom's advent. The ofl in their vessels runs out, fortitude and hope decline. But_those whose souls are aglow with confidence do not ask for such outward apocalyses. The kingdom reigns in them, where Christ Himself located it The lamps of their spirits are bright in the darkest night of fear and tumult. They understand that in His own time the Lord of the new common- wealth will reign in righteousness be- cause the people will be prepared*for His relgn. Then shall His glory cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Q. Why do we not have more woman preachers? Men with their crude ni tures and exalted opinion of themselves do not always appreciate the spiritual needs of women. A. If yonr premises are correct your argument is conclusive. Men may be spiritually inferior to women. But women do not think so, or they would not prefer men as their pastors and guides. Somebody had to do the work of preaching, and since Christ chose 12 men for the duty, I suppose that my sex, despite its crudeness and egotism, must have had some qualification for the ministry of the gospel, Miss Agnes Maude Royden, the Brit- ish social worker and preacher, edu- cated at Cheltenham, and Lady Mar- | garet Hall, Oxford, became assistant reacher at the City Temple, London, 1917, and the first woman in modern Britain to occupy the pulpit of a reg- ular place of worship. But the prim- itive Methodists found room for wom- en in their itinerant ministry 70 years ago. The Salvation Army lassies have endeared themselves to the world. The mother of the army, Mrs. Booth, cured a wide international hearing as a preacher and her gifted daughters followed in her train. Mrs. Ballington Booth has long been one of the most attractive preachers and lecturers on this continent. Who supposes that Lady Henry Somerset or Miss Frances E. Willard would not have graced a cathedral pulpit? ' I wish that women of this type were more numerous. But hitherto they have been the exception. Nevertheless, in the new day now upon us, women will be heard more frequently and in larger numbers in the Protestant churches. The general assembly of the Presbyterian Church held at St. Paul in May, 1920, approved the ordination of women, and similar action was taken by the Reformed Church at general synod in Indianapolis. No larger field could be found for their uliar ts than that which the advocacy of faith, hope and love supplies, CHURCH FEDERATION COMMITTEES MEET Plans Are Initiated for Work Next Fall and for Rest of Fiscal Year.
