PULPIT TOMORROW Dr. Freeman Scheduled for First Sermon at Cathedral Since Last May. Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, will occupy the pulpit at Washington Cathedral tomorrow for the first time since last May, when he preaches at the People’s Open-Air Evensong service, to be held at the foot of the peace cross. This service will be broadcast by radio over station WMAL. Since leaving Washington, Bishop Freeman has preached in many notable churches. He was the spccial preacher at Canterbury in England. where he went to attend the Lambeth Confer ence, on the occasion of the 800th an niversary of the dedication of the Norman choir of that Cathedral. He also preached at Winchester and Chester Cathedrals and in the historic Parish Church at Halifax, England Bishop Freeman attended the reopening of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, and the celebration in connection with the fiftieth anniversary of the diocese of Liverpool. At the Lord Mayor’s dinner in Liver- pool he offered the toast “The Cath- edral,” which was responded to by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, architect of the Liverpool Cathedral. John Masefield, the new poet laureate, was present at this dinner and toasted “The City of Liverpool.” On July 20, during his stay in Eng land, Bishop Freeman had the privilege of being the first An™~ican bishop to give a transatlantic broadcast. He spoke for 15 minutes on world peace through an overseas program of the British Broadcasting Co. linked with the Nation-wide network of the Columbia Broadcasting System in this country. Rev. Prof. John A. Richardson of the General Theological Seminary in New York City will deliver the sermon to- morrow at the 11 am. celebration of the holy communion in the Bethlehem Chapel. The other services in the Bethleham Chapel will be as follows: Celebration of the holy communion at 7:30 am. -nd‘ morning prayer and litany at 10 a.m Sunday pilgrimages to the Cathedral | Crypt Chapels and the new crypts beneath the nave, which have just been opened to the public, and to other ob- | jects of religious interest and devotion | in the Cathedral Close, will be conduct- ed by Rev. John W. Gummere of the cathedral staffl. The first pilgrimage Dr.S. Q. There seems to be nothing in the Bible concerning Christ's life between the ages of 12 and 20. Is any part of the Bible being withheld from the Protestants? A. No. All Christians the Bible substantially as it was delivered | to the early church. So far as Jesus | is_concerned, after the story of His | birth the Gospels relate but one incident of His youth at Nazareth. This is the beautiful account of His visit to' the Tempie and how He tarried there, a | boy of 12, astonishing the doctors by His | knowledge, while His anxious parents | returned to seek Him. ‘l His reply to His mother’s query as to why He had deserted them showed | that He then felt the weight of His divine mission. “Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?” asked Mary . . .| and He answered . . . “Wist_ye not| that I must be about my Father's | business?” (St. Luke, 11.40-52.). | but His mother kept it and others liki 11t in her heart, as any mother would. | | We must remember that the Gospels | | are not biographies. They do not pre- | tend to give us in detail a full account | of the Master's crowded life. But what they relat: is written that we might believe that He was indeed the Son of | God and the Saviour of men. Read St. John’s Gospel xx1.25 for a confirmatory refersnce. Q. The Roman Catholic Church teachers there are saints in Heaven who | are intercessors and mediators between | |man and God. We are taught in the | Bible that there will be a general| | resurrection and a day of judgment.| | How comes it that saints are in Heaven | and so seemingly have anticipated the | general resurrection? | A. The idea that resurrection and judgment are wholly in the future should be re-examined in the light of New Testament teaching. For instance, many Christians believe that the restoration of the soul to its former | body takes place at the resurrection. Yet this belief is nowhere taught in | the New Testament and it is utterly opposed to all we know concerning the | body after death. | Again, the general judgment is con- | ceived as a great assize, a magnified court of justice in which all souls mum‘ appear. This is an effective symbol of !‘“ ' Sunday will start at 12:30 pm. from the Bethleham Chapel and the second from the foot of the peace cross at 5:15 p.m. PASTOR TO CONDUCT | SERVICES TOMORROW | Dr. Copenhaver Will Preach Morn-! ing and Evening at Epworth M.

But as a | matter of knowledge God judges us and | | we judge ourselves moment by moment, conscience itself accusing or sustaining us in our daily behavior. Hence there is nothing to prevent the belief that saints are already resident in Heaven. If they are, do you not sup) they are deeply interested in their friends left on earth? I address my personal supplications directly to | God in the name of Christ But I see | no reason why we may not commune | with our departed onse. snd no reason | why they may not pray for us. No | saints in Heaven now? Where do you | think St. Paul, St. John, St. Peter and all the illustrious band of the faithful and the good are located? | Q. Why does the church insist on re- | ligious forms and ceremonials? Is it not enough to make religion one's per- | sonal matter? A. A religlon without extegnal au- hority is at the mercy of every one's whims and fancies. Hence, any faith which grips the human heart and co- ordinates souls in a common experience and aim must be based on the acknowl- edgment of a controlling power. Chris- tians and Jews unite to define that power as the transcendent God, who governs all that is for its ultimate good, | and manifests Himself to His children ! in terms they can apprehend. Chris- tians further believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal Word of God the Father. How does this faith work? It main- tains standardized living, prevents social chaos, and submits our perversities and blunders to a judgment surpassing hu- man wisdom. On the other hand, purely individualistic religion breeds 'license and disorganization. We do not sin primarily against ourselves or our fel- lows but against God. When He is obliterated from the realm of our thought and action, every one is left to do what seems right in his own eyes The state would not contenance for a moment such looseness with respect to its laws. Neither can the church. ‘ Her forms and ceremonies are intend- | ed to emphasize the cardinal ve#ity that | man can no more save himself than the state can breed the morality necessary for its protection. In so fat as those forms and ceremonies fulfill this func- tion they are to be observed by reversnt and believing people. School Lesson 4 Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. 1 JONAH: THE NARROW NA- | TIONALIST REBUKED. ‘The Book of Jonah. | Golden text—"Of a truth, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: but in every nation he that feareth Him and worketh righteousness is acceptable to Him."—Acts, x.34, 35. Washington welcomed this week the representatives of the Fidac, who are maintaining, fostering and developing the spirit of comradeship formed during the World War to help promote and establish peace among the nations. Out of loyalty to their own nation, they entered the army of their country in | that war which was fought to end war. They are just as patriotic today in help- ing to develop a world brotherhood for the promotion of peace among the vari- ous nations of the world as they were when they responded to their nation’s call to battle. These heroes rebuke the narrow patriotism which frequently is that of a profiteer rather than that of the true patriot, who, according to| Emerson, has “the joy experienced by one people in communicating its spe- cial and legitimate advantages to man- | kind.” If we are to have a universal brotherhood, that will promote, preserve and perpetuate peace among all people, we must be filled with the passion of love for all mankind that is taught in the foreign missionary message of | Jonah. [ Stanley tells us that the prophet, | whose mission furnishes us our lesson | today, was “the child of the widow of | Zarephath, the boy who attended Elijah | to the wilderness, the youth who anoint- | ed Jehu." His early ministry during the | reign of Jereboam II was marked by the prediction of the nation’s ancient | beundaries through the efforts of Jere- | boam. His prophecies of national ex- | pansion and conquest made him popu- | lar with the court and the nation.| Although he was a prophet of Je- | hovah, he hesitated about obeying God's | command for him to cross the desert | and preach His message to Nineveh, the | capital of Assyria. It is easy to pro- | claim nice things to the people that we | love, but Jonah refused to obey God's | command. He tried to avold going east | by taking a ship that would take him | to the most western port on the Med- | iterannean, the farthest place from Nineveh that Jonah knew. He learned | on that journey that it was impossible | for him to get away from doing his | duty, when the storm smote the ship | and he was providentially brought back | to dry ground. Many men today require | a jolt that will teach them the folly | of trying to evade doing God's will and work. The man, who had been un- willng to engage in foreign mission work, was ready to go when Jehovah | gave him the second chance. Unless the members of the churches of Jesus | | Christ take up their duty at the pres- | ent moment to win the world for our Lord by engaging, as they ought, in for- eign missionary work, the spirit -needed to foster, develop and promote peace among the nations will be lacking. | | Jonah's Missionary Service. It is unfortunate that men have missed the message of God's love for | |all nations contained in this book of | Jonah, because they have been side- tracked by the prophet’s experience within the great sea monster. Christ's | citation of Jonah's experience as prophetic of His own has placed a stamp of approval upon the book as historically | true. God's second call for the prophet to enter into the missionary fleld re- | vealed Jehovah's love for all nations. He had rebuked the prophet's narrow | nationalism just as He will some day condemn the Jack of obedience to His great commission that some professed Christians exhibit today by failing to do t to help win the world. f r part to help win the world. We need always to remember the lesson that Jonah learned. It has been | expressed in the lines of the hymn part | tunity to serve Him. DIVINITY SCHOOL DEAN WILL SPEAK Dr. Luther A. Weigle of Yale to Talk at First Congre- gational Church. Dr. Luther A. Weigle, dean of Yale Divinity School, New Haven, Conn., will be the guest speaker tomorrow morning and evening at Pirst Congregational Church, Tenth and G streets. Dr. Weigle is the author of several books on reljgious education. At the 11 o'clock service he will speak on “The Dimen- sions of Christianity” and his subject at the 8 o'clock service will be “Thé Ideal Teacher: Jesus.” The regular church night supper will be held Thursday at 6 o'clock and will be followed at 6:45 p.m. by the prayer meeting. Dr. Charles G. Abbot will lead the meeting and the subject will be “The Psalm of Moses.” All departments of the Sunday school meet at 9:45 a.m. Sunday. The Senior Society of Christian En- deavor will meet Sunday at 6:30 p.m., in the Sunday school room. George L. Middleton will lead the meeting and the topic for discussion will be “How Improve Our Organization and Team Work?” The Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor will meet at 6:30 p.m. in the east parlor. Paul D. Gable will lead the meeting and the subject will be “Our Priendships.” DR. JOHNSON TO OPEN SERIES OF SERMONS Pastor of National Baptist Me- morial Church Bases Discourses on Book of Jeremiah. Selecting for tomorrow_ evening_the title “The Book of the Month—Jere- miah,” Dr. Gove G. Johnson of the National Baptist Memorial Church in- dicates the beginning of a series from that book which will last during the month. The subject selected for the morning is “Man Shall Not Live by Bread Alone, & Lesson From the Drought.” The Bible School, which meets under the leadership of Supt. Edward H. De Groot at 9:30 o'clock Sunday mornings, is engaged at this time in preparation for Rally and Promotion day, which occur September 28. The Mizpah Class will have a busi- ness meeting Tuesday at 8 p.m. in its | class room. Thursday evening occurs world.” He had penetrated 20 miles within its boundaries. He had cried with the courage, born of his past ex- | perience and conviction, the message that God had given him. From street to street this first missionary to the heathen world went. His piercing words stirred the city. His preaching moved them to repentance. The King recog- | nized the nation’s sin and called for a | fast and a period of general mourning. | He called for all to repent and put on sackcloth as an evidence of their re- | pentance. When the time came for the | city to be destroyed, their repentance | saved them. God showed His love and | grace by giving them another oppor- | | Jonah’s Displeasure Rebuked. | Jonah expected that he would see the walls totter and the city fall into ruins. | When it did not fall, he thought that | they would be laughing at him. He was displeased because God had not de- stroyed the city exactly as he had pre- | dicted. Jonah was thinking of his dig- nity as a prophet. He had failed to grasp the message of God's grace and | Jlove. In his mental distress and suffer ing, he felt that life was not worth liv- ing, when the gourd that had protected him from the sun was withered by the noonday’s rays. | The withering of the gourd was God's" way of teaching the prophet that He was displeased with his apparent dis- | approval of the divine mercy tbat Jehovah had extended to Nineveh, when | the city showed the evidence of repent- ance. God's love extended across the boundaries of nations and He showed His grace to Nineveh. The, prophet was displeased at the withering of a gourd but he desired that the whole city should be destroyed. In the Lord's re- buke of narrowness of the prophet, we can see how at times He may desire to rebuke us for our fadlure to grasp His love for all nations and His desire that all people should be saved. We are being weighed in the scales of divine justice by our attitude toward all nations. If we are narrow and | selfish, then we have not learned the spirit of the Gospel proclaimed in the Book of Jonah and in the New Testa- ment. Our father calls us to enter whole-heartedly into the efforts to fill the nations of the world with His ideals and hasten the coming of a world brotherhood that will make wars im- | possible among men and nations. The Gospel of the Lord Jesus contains the one message that can save the world and transform the spirit of prejudice, that brings on war and strife among nations. Let us major on foreign mis- sions, help fill the world with the spirit of brotherhood and of love for all man- kind. We all have a_contribution to make to the welfare of humanity that will destroy narrow patriotism and de- | velop a spirit of brotherhood, based upon the teaching of the Lord Jesus, Let us be true to Him and His cause.

Although there were many in Pales- tine who held & na view of God's love, like some meml Catholic Church who were urged to try to win the Mohammedans for the Lord Jesus, they declined.
