DAILY VACATION BIBLE WORK
FOR LOCAL CHILDREN CLOSES
Classes Range From Kindergarten to High
School Age and Subjects Are Covered
Thoroughly by Pupils.
j 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 a
verv small way, originated by church
women of the city, the support of such
schools in Washington has grown into
the proportions of & church movement,
with about 2,000 pupils, nearly 30 sepa
rate schools and close to 250 teachers
: and school principals. While most of
! these schools are controlled and
: financed by individual churches, in at
i least two notable instances a number of
local churches have joined forces.
Affiliated With Federation.
The majority of the schools conducted
in the District of Columbia are in
churches affiliated with the Washington
Federation of Churches, which has a
I 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 such
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
j schools are conducted by colored
I churches. Three other schools *re >»•
! filiated with the Summer Bible School
i Association, an organization of similar
schools scattered over the United States,
Canada and in several countries beyond
the seas, including some 200 schools in
I Korea. There were about 80,000 pupils
I in these schools in 1929. The schools
i using this system confine their curricula
entirely to Bible study and directly re
lated subjects. Beginning with children
of kindergarten age, they memorize the
books of the New Testament, the Lord s
Pravsr, the Twenty-third Psalm, a
series of simple catechetical questions
adapted to their understanding and
numerous Bible stories and »lmple
hymns. Growing In complexity and
range, the primary and Junior grade*
master outlines of the books of the Bible
and of the life of Christ and memorize
many Important passages from the
Bible. The intermediate classes go still
deeper Into the Bible story, and pupils
above 14 vears 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 enthu
siasm among children. A feature of
Jh Religious Questions
DISCUSSED BY
LJfcfcfe, Dr. S. Parkes Cad man.
Q. How can a believer doubt God's ,
power to cover the earth with a deluge !
or make the sun stand still? You min- i
isters seem to me guilty 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 t.ran- ;
scendent a book emerged when, where
and how it did. Do not let Oriental j
symbolisms obscure for you its basic
teachings.
Q. We are 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 hypothesis as to
where the soul is and what it is doing
during the interim? We frequently say j
the soul has gone to Heaven. Yet
that cannot be so if it has to wait 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
another 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, aecond, the idea
that the soul waits 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 i
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
, vlvication of a dead body.
Flesh and blood do not inherit the
kingdom of God, neither does corrup
tion inherit lneorruption. 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 an 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 Is 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
the All Righteous? The theory of soul
sleep and the further theory that "in
the hour and article of death” we are
Instantly and completely transformed
are unscrlptural and discordant with
what we know about ourselves and the
God who made us.
Q What are the principal theories
about immortality of the soul?
A. The orthodox view is th«? Ill* hare
determines life hereafter and also the
final destiny of the Individual, whether
THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 1930.
; that commencement was a contest be
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
i j good.” Then one child recited half of
, some scripture passage, responding to
reference to chapter and verse, and an
-11 other took it up and finished without
1 1 perceptible pause. Pictures of scenes
■ ; illustrating themes of great hymns
[ brought forth a flood of Information
I 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 j
experienced, and the pupils graduate
with a real working knowledge of the
Bible.
Hymns Are I,earned.
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
t.hLs 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 Bessie Swartz
of Mount Jackson, Va., was principal
during the year now ending, assisted by
4 paid and 12 volunteer teachers. The
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, pupils who behave
badly are deprived of use of the grounds,
and star pupils get special playground
privileges.
I for weal or woe. The doers of good are
I welcomed to a realm of blissful service,
j 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 iniqultously 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.
