Mr. Stur gis reminded the cohgregation that the subsequent genius expressed in the life of Jesus was in ho small part due to the simplicity and godly Influences of his devoted parents and later the influence of the Syna gogue training. The speaker plead ed for a simplifying *of the teaching of the dogmas of the church poin ting out that there was in general a serious gap between the initial religious nature in the home and the primary and junior classes of Sabbath school and that phase of life which ushers one into the arena of manhood and womanhood, Be tween these two phases of growth and religious nurture much was left undone. The life of Jesus in all its evolving phases was subject to this nurture and training subse quently culminating in His being the greatest teacher* of religion the world has ever known or likely to know. He asked the question “Is it sufficient to say that so-and-so is good? Goodness could be little more than negative since it might alone imply the absence of "bad-* ness”. The challange at this point was "So-and-so” is good, you say but good for what?” Here is the true test of religious nature and academic achievement: “What is an architect, asked the speaker, the answer “Building touched with emotion.” Mrs, H, L.
