whether the Government should buy the

Gods Way.

God loves to effect his greatest works
bv means tending, under ordinary cir
cumstances to produce the very opposite
of what is to be done. God walls the sea
with sand. God clears the air with
storms. God warns the earth with snow.
So in the world of grace. He brings wa
ter in the desert, not from the soft earth,
but the finty rock. He heals the sting OF
the serpent Of fire with the serpent OF
brass. He overthrows the walls of Jeri-
cho by rams horns. He Stays thousand
men with the jaw bone of an ass: lie
cures saltwater with salt He fells the
giant with asling and stone. And thus
does the Son of God work in the gospel.
He cures the blind man by that which
seemed likely to increase his blindness, by
amounting his eyes with clay. He exalts
US TO heaven by the stumbling-block of
the cross.
