Knowledge and Experience Are Needs
in Religion
Krowing that patience worketh ex-

ours is an age That almost unduly ex-
alts expert nee. Experiment is the mediad
employed in the physical sciences. The
student of chemistry and biology must
work in the laboratory and the student
of medicine In the hospital, to acquire
l;u:nwbdge at once practical and useful.
Without such experience one may
Lave knowledge, but he cannot have
w tsdoru. Ili; head, may be full of learn-
ing, Lot ho will only remain an el)1p0'
visionary, a mire idealist, helpful nei-
ther to dliinself nor to his fellow then.
This is the great defect of youth -
that it discounts the patient schooling
and preparation of discipline, and
would rush unguardedly upon the stage
and into the battle of life.
alallhew• Arnold comments upon this
rashness of youthful inexperience thus:
'Only when one is y'owig and head-
strong can one trims prefer bravado to
experience, can oto stand by the sea
of time, and. instead of listening to the
solemn and rhythmical beat of its waves
choose to fill the air with one's own
whe.opings to start the echo."
Birt there is danger of placing ex-
treme emphasis un experience. \Ve
must have theoretical knowledge; the
!hind oust be furnished by reading and
the understanding strengthened by re-
flection. Our strongest and noblest in-
spirations come front within. It is in
our still inner life that are nourished
those visions of sentiment and poetry
that stake life
NOBLE AND BEAUTIFUL.
The mere experimentalist is dry, hard,
mechanical and dead to that larger,
Uglier, sphere, which makes man akin
to the angels.
This is the mistake we often hear in
regard to religion. It is said that relig-
k n is wholly n Mutter of experience.
\Vo experience God in the soul. \Ve
do not need to go to the Bible for the
knowledge of liim. Ili►t experience
cannot give up facts. It is not a crea-
tive, but a testing faculty. Experience
can give n new reading to the truths
crf Scripture and throw white light up -
en the teachings of revelation. but it
cannot invent them. Ile who takes the
_ccnclusion of his experience for the
word of ('sod will remain in as deep
earkness and hopelessness with respect
to the blessed truths and hopes of re -
Pylon as were the great pagan think -
On the o!her hand, however, the
apostle is altogether justified in insist-
ing in the text upon the necessity of
(xperienee to religion. One may bo
the most orthodox of believers, the pro-
foundest of theologians and the most
regular of church members, but if he
(bes not know religion by experience
he "denies the power thereof," and his
profession is but 'sounding brass and
a tinkling cymbal."
Religion first must be experienced in
the heart. Our piety must be sincere.
It must breathe within us the spirit of
brotherly love. It must make us fear
God; it trust incite us to hate wrong and
niesime... It roust stir us with high
aims and noble Wools. In lotto lan-
guage, it must make us "new creu-
tur(s, created after God in true righte-
ousness .and holiness.'
But the supreme test of religion is
that it bo experienced in our lives. A
loan may have deep religious feeling.
Out if it does not prove itself in action
it is vapid emotionalism.
SEN''I\iENT ANI) I'ilAYEItS
do but make a mockery of God and the
church, if they do not issue in right
life. 11 is only when our religion mas-
ters our temptations, sweetens our ugly
ti milers, overcomes our h:.d habits, casts
out our selfishness, moves us to do
god to our neighbors, gives us cour-
age in danger and faith and calm un-
der the Oro of affliction that i1 Ls real.
Then it has set to it the serol of experi-
ence, and then will it bring the favor
(;f God and crown with an immortal
hope.
The defect of too many professors
is the lack of this vital religious experi-
ence. Those who know them best
doubt them most. 'Those to whom
close contact shows just what. They real-
ly are have hard work to believe their
piety genuine.
If believers would only be more con-
sistent it1 their lives and illustrate their
faith in U►eill ideals, no argument
would bo nested to win the worldly to
follow so gracious n guide as religion.
Gibbons in that famous chapter of his
history whero he seeks to account for
the progress of the early church, stales
that "the =primitive Christian demon-
strate.' his faith by his virtues," and
"exercised himself in the habits of hu-
ndlity, meekness and patience." The
same Christian qualities will give more
power to the gospel lo -day thnn all the
learned arguments of theologians.
Let us by all means believe and pro-
fess religion. Itut then let us give proof
that we experienced 11. And then will
it stake joyful our inner life, clothe our
deeds with virtue and beauty and con-
vince and draw our friends and neigh-
bors to the life of faith, piety and hope,

originally suggrsleJ the clussificalion of
the comutundinrnt-,. Logically. the com-
mandments fall into two groups, the
first of which includes commandments
1-1, which define Certain duties which
man owes to God; and the seeond of
which, embracing commandments 5.1o,
define man's obligatitm.t to his fellow
men. It has been pointed out that the
fifth ConunandumuL w'hic'h relates to
filial duty. is closely tithed to the pre-
ceding four, and w'ih► them may be
placed in a group setting forth pit'eepts
of piety. In harmony with this grou --
ing, the remaining live, which empha-
size ethical, rather than religious obliga-
tions, constitute a group containing pre-
cepts or taws of probity. The second
group is sometimes subdivided accord -

(9), and in thought (lo(.
Verso 12. Honor thy father and thy
mother -Since the time of Augustine the
Boman C:all►olie Church, and sutise-
quenlly also the Protestant churches,
have regarded tate fifth commandment
as heading the second table. The reason
for this has been chiefly that this divi-
sion seemed to hake the amount of
writing on the two tables more nearly
equal. If, however, ns has been sug-
gested in a ptrviotrs study, the original
form of the Commandments was ankh
briefer, it would seers unnecessary lo
Make the division between the fourth
and fifth commandments for the reason
just assigned, since in their original
simpler form the Ten Commandments
were doubtless much nlor'e nearly equal
in length.
That thy days may be long in the land
which Jehovah thy God •givelit thee -if
we are to think of a simpler original
form for this commandment, this at-
tached reason for obedience may per -
(haps be a later amplification. The word-
ing of the commandment in Deuteron-
omy. moreover, Ls strongly in favor of
this supposition. There the command-
ment rends : "Honor thy father and thy
mother, as Jehovah thy God commanded
thee; that thy days may be long, and
that it may go well wilk thee, in the
land which Jehovah thy God giveth
then' (Deut. 5. 16). Here the original
command of Jehovah and the later rea-
son of expediency are separated by the
intervening explanatory clause "as Jeho-
vah thy Gal commanded thee," which
seems to point specifically to a preceding
succinct command to filial obedience.
13. Thou shalt not kill -An apprecia-
tion of the sanctity of human life neces-
sarily precedes a sense of other duties
and obligations to our fellow men.
!fence the moral precept of this com-
mandment is. as we should expect, In-
corporated in all ethical codes which
man has put into permanent, written
form.
It, 15. Not commit adultery -Next to
nl:e's regard for the life of his neighbor
is his reesrect for family ties, and this
in turn naturally lends to a recognition

all things belonging to a family house-
hold. Ilene the next commandment :
Thou shalt not steal.
16. Bear tttso witness -it is possible
t o bear false witness lx,th in n public
and formai and in a private and Infer -
!mil way. One may perjure himself and
',oily falsely in court, and lie outright
u public about his neighbor. or ire may
in his social intercourse with his fellow
rnen simply speak disparagingly about
an individual without just ground or
union. \Vhilo the commandment as it
stands riders primarily 10 false w'ilncss-
ing of the former kind, it does not ex-
clude private calumny, which, in fact,
is later on in the dcturl.d legislation
given by \L.st's to Israel specifically
forbidden In the wvords: "Thou shalt
not tile.' up a false rep>t.rt : put not the
1►nnd with the wicked to be an unright-
ex.us witness" (Exod 23. 1).

taking to regulate a mans inner thought
life as well els his outer life of aetion the
Mosaic law princes iLseif on a higher level
then any other system of laws ever pro-
mulgated nmung men. The Decaingue,
and especially this commandment, pr'u-
cirds on the a..sunlption that man is
actually free to control his thoughts.
and hence is responsible for them ns
well as for his actions.
Thy neighbor's house -If the word
"'Nouse" be taken generically. then the
first clause of this commandment may
be taken to cover the entire prohibition

such as wife, servant, ox, and tubs be-
nt; added simply its exemplifying nip
that which is to be understood tinder the
one wens "Ionise." Hence also the c on-
clu.ting phrase. nor anything that le thy
oltl.or's. In the Deutenmomie ver-
sant of the commandment the order is
slightly different, the commandment
reading "Neither shall tlynr covet thy
neighbor's wife; neither shalt than de-

announced that 1.e now had a treat le

Taking them to the courtyard behind

throne and placed Tom and TM on

Tom and TId could have remained for
hours watching this performance, but
tho king called them away to lake a
ride On tho dolphins.
"We might have taken the whale." he
remarked, "had I not sent him away
for his health for a couple of days."
And a fine ride they took -round about
this kingdom under the sea. Ted was
a little frlghteued at first, but she was
soon able to guide her dolphin as well
as the others.

"Come along, then," he commanded.
Striking the ground in front of him
with his trident, a deep bole appear-
ed, with steps running down from
where the three stood.
King Neptune, for so the old roan
was named. took Tid's hand while
TId took hold of Turn's. Then they
carefully descended.

go unpunished this time."
"'why, we're under the water!" crl-d
Tom and TId togeth-r, as they node• -d
for the first time that the lights they
taw around them came from waide,(u1

electric globes. Fish darted around them

Atter same thought, Tum said, "It's

They rode back to the castle, where
they said good-bye to the mermaids, who
gave them all the pearls they could

King Neptune then led them back to
where they had come down. "Now that
the stairs are out of use. WO11 have to

he.
Directing them to stand on a square
