THE MEANING OF KAGAWA (An Editorial from the Memphis Press-Scimitar) THERE are many people in this country who have left the church. There are children who have been brought up knowing nothing about religion. Their parents, believing the church teaches superstition and hypocrisy, have kept them away from it. These are often good people, often exceptionally fine citizens. They have taken so little interest in religion that they do not know what has happened to it in recent years. Something very important has happened to it. The church is practicing its own teachings. Religion formerly was often largely a means by which people sought to save themselves from a hell hereafter. Today people are seeking to be “saved” in order that they may be cleansed of selfishness and so fit to save civilization in this world today. Not that they believe less in the hereafter; they believe in it more surely. But they are not willing to wait for death for heaven; they want to bring it to their fellowmen on earth here and now. They demand that industry and politics be governed by the teachings of religion. Not in fear, but in love; not seeking what they can get out of religion, but what they can put into it fox others. This is a phenomenon found not in one denomination, but in all Christian and Jewis and even in some other faiths. Religion everywhere is meeting the challenge offered by the needs of the world toda.,. a tt u a a a IN no man does this new spirit of religion find better expression than in the frail, ailing body of the Japanese Kagawa, who is on an American tour. Kagawa practices the teachings of Jesus. He believes that Jesus meant it when He said: “Love ye one another.” “Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven.” He works day and night to do the will of God. He gives all of his large earnings as a writer and speaker to the poor, except the little that it takes for the simple living of himself, his wife and children. He has launched “The Kingdom of God Movement” to bring the Kingdom of God, not to some distant sky, but to this troubled earth of 1936. Those who have stayed away from church will not find any hypocrisy in Kagawa to repel them. Instead, they will find a terrible sincerity. And some, like the rich young man of the Scriptures, will turn away sorrowful. For Kagawa, like his Master of 1900 years ago, has some “hard sayings.” “Go, give all thou hast ...” Kagawa can say it, because he has done it.

Officers to Take Duties at Services Asa feature of the first Sunday of the New Year, tomorrow has been set aside as “Every Member Present Day” at the Fountain Square Christian Church, the Rev. E. L. Day, pastor, has announced. There is to be a roll call of members at the morning service, at which time the new officers will be installed.

The equipment, consisting of a stage, scenery, lighting system and fire doors, is the gift of the Board of Trustees and the Woman’s Council, working with Dr. Carleton W. Atwater, church pastor. Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest,” tentatively has been selected as the play for this “appreciation night.” it is one of four plays to be presented during the remainder of the season. The dramatic club was organized six months ago with Frank Stadler, president, and Paul Boxell, acting director.

'GocT Topic of Science Church “God” is to be the Lesson-Sermon subject in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, tomorrow. The Golden Text is: “Among the gods there is none like unto Thee, O Lord; . . . For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things; Thou art God alone” (Psalms 86:8-10.). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: “And I saw anew heaven and anew earth: ... And I heard a voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God” (Revelations 21:1-3.). The following passages from the Christian Science text book, “Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures,” by Mary Baker Eddy, also are included: “This testimony of Holy Writ sustains the fact in Science, that the heavens and earth to one human consciousness, that consciousness which God bestows, are spiritual, while to another, the unillumined human mind, the vision is material . . . Accompanying this scientific consciousness was another revelation, even the declaration from heaven, supreme harmony, that God, the divine principle of harmony, is ever with men, and they are His people. . . . This is Scriptural authority for concluding that such a recognition of being is, and has been, possible to men in this present state of existence, —that we can become conscious, here and now, of a cessation of death, sorrow and pain. This is indeed a foretaste of absolute Christian Science, (p. 573.).

Minister Will Open Series of Lectures The Rev. W. C. Calvert, pastor of Grace Methodist Church, is to open a seiies of lectures tomorrow night on “The Beginnings and History of the Christian Church.” Bible students, Sunday School teachers and Christian workers especially are invited to attend the lectures.

Cites Present Need for New Men in World Minister Points to Christ’s Power to Rejuvenate Existing Beings. BY S. GRUNDY FISHER Minister University Park Christian Church New Year's Day has just passed. What explains the feeling of release, relief and new interest in life? Down in our hearts we know that things are not so much different from last year. Same old debts, same old problems, same old harassments. Never the less, we do rejoice in the New Year. Some of us celebrated crazily enough, but some more soberly. All, unless very old in spirit, rejoiced. The explanation is that deep instinct of adventure—the love of surprise, of possibly finding something better than what we have had. New fashions, new books, new houses, new cars, new lands—we love the new. The Apostle Paul had something better than all these: “If any man is in Christ Jesus, he is anew creature. Old things have passed away; behold they have become new.” He knew what the old creature vas: Selfish, blind, dying while he lived. But he knew also, what the Gospel of Christ could do for and in a man. He knew himself to be new. Love Replaced Selfishness He was new in his motivation. When he came into fellowship with Christ, old and selfish motives, often camouflaged as virtues, were replaced by one great constraint, the love of Christ. He had been zealous for the law, for his nation’s existence and glory, and he had let this zeal make him cruel, bigoted, arrogant. Christ entered his life and he entered into fellowship with Christ, and he became tender, forgiving, compassionate, loving, humble. Old things had passed away, indeed. He was anew creature. He had something new to live for. Anew goal called him. And, most wonderful of all, anew power—a power not of himself, making for righteousness —took possession of him. What he had experienced in his own life, he had seen in others. And what he had seen in others, has been the ever-recurring miracle across the ages. This very New Year’s Day we have had in our midst men and women from far sundered lands, testifying to the power of this Christ to make new creatures, and proclaiming their faith that these new men and women will eventually make anew world. Need Is For New Men What other hope have we of a world order fit for men and not a pit in which we shall fight and devour one another? New men! For these thousands of years we have been governed by mm who have thought that the interests of their clan were to be advanced by exploiting their neighbors who were weaker,- not “civilized” but “backward.” Do we not need new men? For these same thousands of years these governing groups seem to think only superior force can keep the peace, and that not for long. Do we not need new men? For these old ones have not learned anything and seem incapable of learning. They must be replaced with new men. The Communist will say: “Sure, let’s chop their heads off.” But the. Christian will say, “No. Let’s make new men of these old ones. Make them new by winning them to Life with Christ. For you can not get rid of cruelty by being cruel. You can not destroy selfishness by selfish action. But you can expel hate by love, cruelty by kindness, and selfishness by sacrifice. Church to Conduct Special Services Evangelistic services, beginning tomorrow morning at Brightwood M. E. Church, are to continue each night except Saturday until Jan. 26. The Rev. John W. Hanger, Bloomington, is to assist the pastor, the Rev. F. T. Taylor.

RELIGIOUS QUESTION BOX Readers of this journal are Invited to send In questions regarding the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faiths. Questions will be answered as promptly as possible. They should be addressed to this newpaper or to The National Conference of Jews and Christians, 289 Fourth-av, New York City. Name and address must accompany questions so that a personal reply may be sent if necessary.

Q —Please give a definition of religion. A—Prof. Herbert L. Willett of Chicago, in discussing definitions of religion, recently wrote: Some definitions apparently ignore spiritual implications, characterizing religion as “a peculiar sanction given to the mores;” “the consciousness of the highest social values;” “man’s attitude toward the universe regarded as a social and ethical force;” “a valuing attitude, universalizing the will and emotions rather than the ideas of man;” “a consecration of individual life and energies to social ends;” or “the quest for the largest and fullest satisfaction of felt needs.” Others take account only of the spiritual, designating religion as “faith in unseen powers;” “belief in spiritual beings;” “belief in the reality of spiritual values;” “that which expresses in life the relationship between man and the super-natural realm,” “the effective desire to be in right relation to the power manifesting itself in the universe;” or “the attempt of the human soul to get into right relations with God.” He continues by quoting J. H. Leuba’s “God or Man” as suggesting five groups into which definitions of religion may be classified: (1) Religion is the feeling or attitude called forth by the mysterious or the sacred; (2) Religion is the quest after the meaning of life; (3) Religion is a belief in something human which has the power of making life what it should be; (4) Religion is devotion to the welfare of humanity; (5) Religion is an experience implying the existence of a spiritual world.

Q—Why do Jews wear hats in their synagog? A—Just as the Western gesture of respect is to remove the hat, so the Palestinian gesture of respect and reverence is to be completely dressed, including the wearing of the hat. Either action is symbolic. The meaning of both is the same. One represents the convention of the West, and the other the convention of the East. Analogously, as a sign of respect the Moslem removes his shoes before entering a Mosque; in Western lands one is careful to be shod before entering a church. Both are conventional expressions of reverence for the house of worship. Q —ls it true that while the Catholic Church theoretically prohibits divorce, her system of annulments and dispensations practically allows it? A—A Catholic authority answers: It is not true. The Catholic Church never grants a dispensation from the divine or the natural law, but only from a law of her own making. She never declares a valid marriage null and void, but asserts, by her annulment that a so-called marriage never actually took place. This may be compared to the difference between tearing up a genuine fifty-dollar bill and declanng another fifty-dollar bill a counterfeit. For instance, one well-known marriage was declared null by the Church after it had been proved conclusively that it was the result of compulsion. The law in this respect is clear: “A marriage is invalid if entered into because of violence or grave fear, infficted unjustly and from without, to escape which one la forced to choose marriage.” (Canon 1987).

Assemblies to Be Conducted at Lynhurst Friendship School Will Open at Church on Thursday. A School of World Friendship at Lynhurst Baptist Church is to open Thursday night, and continue each Thursday for six weeks.
