DR. COPENHAVER NOW ON ANNUAL VACATION Rev. F. A. Holden to Occupy Ep- worth M. E. Pulpit at Services Tomorrow Morning. John O. Copenhaver, of h Methodist Episcopal Church X |IDAILY VACATION BIBLE WORK FOR LOCAL CHILDREN CLOSES Classes Ran ge From Kindergarten to High School Age and Subjects Are Covered Thorough]y | | This week marks the commencement | | dates of the Summer, or daily vacation, Bible schools, conducted by many, churches of Washington and nearby. | Beginning about 12 years ago in & very small way, originated by church- women of the city, the support of such schools in Washington has grown into the proportions of a church movement, | with about 2,000 pupils, rate schools and close {and school principals. While most of | these schools are controlled and { financed by individual churches, in at | least two notable instances a number of local churches have joined forces. | Affiliated With Federation. i The majority of the schools conducted | in the District of Columbia are in| churches affiliated with the Washington | Federation of Churches, which has a | director of vacation schools, Dr. E. O. Clark, pastor of the Chevy Chase Bap- tist Church, who co-operates with and promotes_ the establishment of _su schools. In this group, Which comprises 26 schools, are five Baptist, six Meth odist, eight Presbyterian, two Southern Presbyterian and two _community | schools, the latter being joint ventures of a half-dozen local churches. Three {schools are conducted by colored churches. Three other schools are ai- {fillated with the Summer Bible School | Association, an organization of similar schools scattered over the United States, Canada and in several countries beyond the seas, including some 200 schools in | Korea. There were about 80,000 pupils in these schools in 1929. The schools using this system confine their curricula | entirely to Bible study and directly re- | lated subjects. Beginning with children | of kindergarten age, they memo: X Dooks of the New Testament, the Lord’s Prayer, the Twenty-third Psalm, 2 series of simple catechetical questions adapted to_their understanding and and simple to 250 teachers Dr. wort} zufll.

At New York Avenue Presbyterian Church the group under the leadership of Edward Hennessey will have charge numerous _ Bible stories hymns. Growing in complexity and range, the primary and junior grades master outlines of the books of the Bible and of the life of Christ and memorize im] t passages from the Bible. The intermediate classes go still deeper into the Bible story, and puplls above 14 years enter upon a real normal course of Biblical training, with am- bitious text books, notebooks, ' hand- drawn maps and elaborate pictures il- lustrating famous hymns. Recent commencement exercises of | one of these schools, the large school of a hundred children in Fourth Pres- byterian Church, demonstrated the pos- sibilities of such studies to evoke enthus siasm among children. A feature of DI Dy. S. Q. How can a bellever doubt God's power to cover the earth with a deluge | or make the sun stand still? You min- isters seem to me gullty of pulling down the Bible? A. 1, for one, do. not doubt God's power to do these things if He so pleases. But I do not think He has done | them or is likely to exercise His infinite powers in that manner. I sometimes wonder if those who speak confidently about burying the entire globe in a flood of waters or halting the sun in the| heavens understand the extremely pre- | carious and dependent nature of the | physical globe. Should the earth’s axis get a little out of plumb, or the atmosphere en- girdling its surface be deprived of its | oxygen and water vapor, or its attrac- tion by gravitation cease to hold it at an exact distance which is neither too near nor too far from the sun, every- thing on this planet would perish at once. Read Sir James Jeans on these mat- ters. He will help you to understand that the universe is infinitely more mar- velous than our forefathers suspected. It would seem from the revelations of | science that the earth is a specially pre- pared place for the development of the human race In love and righteousness. Believers who accept what science has | thus verified enthrone the Bible as the best literature available for that de- velopment. The marvel is that so tran- scendent. a book emerged> when, where | and how it did. Do mnot let Oriental | symbolisms obscure for you its basic | teachings. Q. Weare told in the Bible there will be a day of resurrection when the soul will unite with the body, and then ap- pear before the judgment seat of God and be rewarded according to its merits. Can you form any hypotiesis as to where the soul is and what it is doing during the interim? We frequently say | the soul has gone to Heaven. Yet that cannot be so if it has to walt for the day of ressurrection. ‘The Roman Catholics teach the doc- trine of purgatory, which can be short- ened by masses, which, in turn, involves snother question. This problem has troubled .me for some time, and there does not appear to be any solution. I shall be glad to hear what you have to say. A. Your difficulty is aggravated by two erroneous beliefs. First, as to the nature of biblical teaching concerning the resurrection, and, second, the idea that the soul walts for the resurrection of the body. The latter error originates | in the first, and the first is due, in part, to the highly symbolic language | of Holy Scripture in reference to man’s future state. The final teaching of the Bible is found in I Corinthians, chap- ter 15. Here St. Paul expressly denies that the resurrection signifies the re- vivication of & dead body. Flesh and blood do not inherit the kingdom of God, neither does corrup- tion inherit incorruption. * Hence there is no period of coma following bodily death. The soul goes on its way, and that way is determined by the soul's use of its probation here. God pro- vides whatever equipment it needs for; this purpose. He does not leave it naked for sn indefinite term. He clothes it with every required means for communication and fellowship in' the spiritual realm. There is a real resurrection followed by a real judgment at the moment of physical dissolution. But these are not final, nor can they be. On the contrary, it 1s inconceivable that life is ever sev- ered from development. It proceeds endlessly, passing from one plane to another. Did not the apostle declare that souls are changed “from glory unto glory”? Surely such gains are not se- cured without appraisals and tests. I realize this view is not orthodox.! But it seems to answer more ques- tions and remove more obstacles than some views labeled as orthodox. In so far as purgatory means a state of | further preparation for the enjoyment | of eternal bliss there is much to be said for it. Few of us fail to realize that we _are not perfect when we die. Certainly something gracious and re- newing has to be done for us after death. Otherwise, how can we hope to enter the presence of the All Holy and of the meeting, to be held at 7 o'clock 1n the lecture room of the church. Leroy Miller will lead the vesper serv- joes to be held in the. chapel of Keller Lutheran Church tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock. Rev. rnel:‘urk will discuss the topic for the evt 2. The following topics will be discussed the various societies on Sunday: , “On the Road With Jesus— t 'We Would -Have Seen”; inter- and sentor, “Chances to Serve Christ in the Summer.” / the All Righteous? The theory of soul sleep and the further theory that “in the hour and article of death” we are instantly and wmpleul‘ transformed are unscriptural and . d! dant with by Pupil‘s. that commencement was & co! tween a group of about 30 children. ranging from 8 to 16 years of age, in answering Bible questions. The test started with recital of all the books of the Bible backward. Every child “made good.” Then one child recited half of some scripture passage, responding to reference to chapter and verse, and an- other took it up and finished without perceptible pause. Pletures of scenes illustrating _themes of great hymns brought_forth a flood of information about the writers of the hymns, the circumstances of the writing, and then one child sang part of a verse and the next finished it. In Bible schools of this type the teachers are all paid and experienced, and the pupils graduate with a real working knowledge of the Bible. Hymns Are Learned. In vacation Bible schools a slightly different training method is followed, looking, however, toward similar ends. Beginning with a morning worship serv- ice of a half hour, in which selected scripture texts are absorbed by the scholars, a half hour is devoted to learn- ing hymns and memorizing Bible texts. ‘Then a class period or two is devoted to studies in Biblical geography, missions and stories of the lives of great mis- sionary leaders, and in the telling of Bible stories. A period is then devoted to “handwork,” often to the accom- paniment of more Bible stories. During this period the children make illustrated cards, eccentric toys and other things suited for gifts, which are then given to children of the poor or packed in boxes to be sent for distribution to chil- dren in foreign mission fields. In the community school held in Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church, which is supported by that church in co-operation with the local Baptist, Methodist and other nearby churches, five churches uniting, Miss Bessle Swartz of Mount Jackson, Va. was principal during the year now ending, assisted by 4 pald and 12 volunteer teachers. school, the largest of its type in the Dis- trict of Columbia, had more than 150 enrolled. School opens immediately after public schools close for the Sum- mer and lasts four or five weeks. Courses often are provided by the de- nominations, and lead to diplomas and other rewards for excellence in study. In one large Washington church, which happens to own a beautifully equipped playground in a section where no public playground is near, puplls who behave badly are deprived of use of the grounds, and star pupils get special playground privileges. Religious Questions SCUSSED BY Parkes Cadman. for weal or woe, The doers of good are welcomed to a realm of blissful service, and the doers of evil are sentenced to an age-long punishment. The “Universalist” view is that God's resistless love finally prevails over the wickedness and rebellion of all His chil- dren. He wills that ultimately they | shall be saved and come to the knowl- edge of the truth. Otherwise He is de- feated by. their obstinacy, a possibility which those who hold this theory deem inconceivable. ‘The “conditional immortality” view is that since the human power of choice is inseparable from personality, it may be employed so iniquitously and con- sistently that the soul is extinguished in its own sin and ceases to exist. Therefore, the moral values deserving immortality must be possessed by those who would gain it. In other words, it is not an inherent and indestructible attribute of man, but a prize to be won by faithful continuance in welldoing. ‘You may say that these varying views create confusion. I agree, and wish that the entire question could be carefully studied anew and restated by theological experts for the benefit of theological students and of the whole ministry of the Protestant faith. Its present escha- tology is without form and void. NEW YORK PASTOR T0 BE GUEST SPEAKER Dr. Frederick K. Stamm to Preach| at First Congregational Church. Dr. Prederick K.
