FrancisGilbertDoubtsValueOf SurveyMadeofChildren'sComics

Afeaturearticleinthe morningpresslastweeksummarisedthefindingsofUniversityresearchworkersin WestAustraliaandNew SouthWaleswhohaverecently,madesurveysofthe "comicbookphenomena."

Evenfromthenecessarily briefaccountgivenofthose surveysitseemsclearthat thefieldcoveredwaswide andtheresearchpainstaking. Butseveralvitalquestions remainunanswered.

Foronethingtheterm "adolescents"employedin thecaptionwasmisleading.

For,whilethearticleseemed mainlytoconcernitselfwith the"comic"literatureread bychildrenuptoprimaxy school-leavingage,oneparagraphseemedtoindicatethat youthsuptothelateteens hadbeenincluded.

Now,insofarasthesurveyembracedthepost-primarygroupofadolescents,it impingedonthefieldrecentlysurveyedbytheCatholic Youthmovements,butthe twosurveysreachedvery differentconclusions.

Andthatbringsmetothe generaljudgmentarrivedat bytheseculargroups-"So fartheevidencedoesnot provethatcomicbookand comicstripreadingaredoing anyharmtoouradolescents generally.'

WhatPresbyteriansHoldOfBible

Ministry,.ChurchandSacraments

Itwouldnotbepossible,insoshortan articleasthis,togiveanexhaustiveaccount ofPresbyterianteachings.ButsomementionmustbemadeoftheattitudeofPresbyterianstotheBible,theChurch,theMinistry,theCreeds,andtheSacraments. withtraditionalteachings fromtheverybeginningis becomingmoreandmore evidenttothem.

Presbyterianshavebeen outstandingintheiracceptanceoftheBiblealoneas theonlyauthorityonwhich truereligioncanbebased, andforthemostpartthey experienceaprofounddistasteforanytraditionsprior tothosedatingfromCalvin.

But,althoughtheystill subscribenominallytothe "Bible-Only"theory,many modernPresbyteriansare becominghesitant.

Theyarebeginningto realisethattheChurchexistedbeforealineofthe NewTestamentwaswritten, andthattheearliestChristiansobtainedtheirknowledgefromtheteachingsof theChurch,notfromthe readingoftheBible.

TheirscholarshaverecognisedalsothattheNew TestamentisnotasystematicaccountoftheChristianrevelation,thatitsbooks omittedmuchthatwasgenerallyknown,andthatthey themselveswouldliketo discovertheadditionalmatterfromthestudyofearly traditions.

Manywhostillbelievein Christianity,therefore,are showingsignsofretracing theirstepsinaCatholicdirectionasregardstheBible andtheprinciplesofitsinterpretations.

Whenweturntothe questionoftheChurch,it becomesverydifficulttoestimatethePresbyterian position.

ThatJohnKnoxinheritedthisideaisclearfromhis 1560"ConfessionofFaith," whereweread,"outof whichKirkthereisneither lifenoreternalfelicity." The"WestminsterConfessions,"of1643,saysaMlle moremildly,"outofwhich thereisnoordinarypossibilityofsalvation."

SynagogueSystem OriginalPresbyteriandoc-1 trines,therefore,held that' membershipofthePresbyterianChurchisnecessary forallwhowishtosave theirsouls.Eveninquite recentttimesDrs.Wother-j spoonandKirkpatrickhave writtenintheir"Manualof ChurchDoctrine"thatPres-! byterianismmaintainsa ministryderivingitsauthority,notfromthepeople,. butfromChrist;andthat alltheactsoftheministry "arepropertoChristonly, asApostlesofGod,MediatoroftheNewCovenant, andHighPriestofthe HouseofGod."

Itmustbesaid,howeve-, thatmostPresbyterian wouldregardthatasexaggeratedclericalism.More recentlystill,Prof.W.D. Niven,D.D.,ofTrinityCollege,Glasgow,haswritten ofthePresbyteriansystem, "Wenolongerassertthat itpossessesexclusivescripturalsanction;weclaim onlythatitisfoundedon andagreeabletotheWord ofGod.Werecognizethat itdoesnotsuitall.

"Weholdthat,whilen.) definiteandcompletepolity isunambiguouslyenjoined inScripture,theprinciples areinScripture,andwe areconvincedthatourpolitydoesfullerjusticeto themthananyother."

Inthesamecontexthe makestheremarkablestatement,"Oursysteminessencewasoldandtested longbeforetheChristian Churchwasfounded,for itIsthesystemoftheSynagogue.""TowardsReunion,"pp.119-20).

LayPriesthood

Inthelightofthoselast wordsonemaywellask howthePresbyterian Churchcanpossiblyclaim tobeaChurchsuchas Christintended?ForHe, certainly,hadnointention ofre-establishingtheSynagogue!

InitsdoctrineoftheministryPresbyterianismholds auniqueplaceamongstthe ProtestantChurches.

MartinLuther,inrejectingtheauthorityofthe Churchfortheauthorityof theBible,repudiatedthe priesthoodasithadhitherto beenaccepted.Hemaintainedthepriesthoodofall believers,totheexclusion ofanysacerdotalcastereceivingspecialpowers abovethoseoftheordinary faithful.

HewascontentthatauthorityovertheChurch, previouslyexercisedbythe hierarchy,shouldbevested inthesecularprince;and heregardedthework oI ministersasmerelypastoral,afunctiontheirsby electionandcommissionon thepartofthemembersof theChurch.

"Theministry,"writes Peake,"possessnopriest-

hoodwhichdoesnotbelow; tothelaity;andthereisno functionoftheministry whichitisillegitimatefot thelaymantoperform, providedhedoesitatthe callofthesociety."("TowardReligion,"p.189).

NowJohnCalvinbegan byactingonthatprinciple. Hehimselfwasbutalayman;and,aswehaveseen, in1534hecelebratedthe Lord'sSupperintheEvangelicalChurchatPoitiers. But,in1536,whenhepub, lishedhis"Institutes,"h. hadconvincedhimselfthat therewasaspecialministerialofficeintheChurch, thatof"presbyters." Hemaintainedthat,in theNewTestament,the term"presbyter"meant "elder,"andtheterns "bishop"meant"overseer"; butthatbothtermsreferredtooneandthesame "Order"intheChurch. Thatgotridofaspecial orderof"episcopacy".Bui. itadmittedaspecialorder of"presbyters." Atthesametime,Calvin allowedfortheappointmentoflaymenas"elders"; the"presbyters"topreach andadministertheSacraments;the"elders"toassistthe"presbyter"and helpinthegovernmentat theChurch.

HighandLowParties

Thereisagooddealof confusionamongstPresbyteriansthemselvesastothe distinctionbetween"elders" and"presbyters";somuch sothatPresbyterianscan bedivided,likeAnglicans, intoaLowChurchgroup, andaHighChurchgroup.

TheLowChurchPresbyterianholdsthat"elders' and"presbyters"constitute exactlythesameorder. Both"elders"and"presbyters"areordainedbyimpositionofhands,"presby- ters"as"teachingelders" tobespeciallytrainedand towhomcustomalonereq.. trictstheconductingat worship,preaching,andthe administrationofSacraments;theothersareor dainedbyimpositionof handsas"rulingElders."

Theonlydistinctionbe tweenthemisoneofspecialreverencefortheministerialoffice.Neither "teachingelders"nor"rulingelders,"however,are differentinthemselvesfrom theunordainedlaity.They aremerelymembersofthe Churchwhohavebeenauthorizedbyotherstoact ontheirbehalf.
