After expounding appropriate passages
OF scripture DR. Taimage gave out the
text, Genesis /, 2 1.-THE earth was with
out form, and void; aud darkness was
upon the face OF the deep. And the
Spirit OF God moved upon the face OF the
waters" DR.. Taimage said;
Out in space there hung great chunk
of rock and mud aud water and shell
thousands Of miles in diameter, more
thousands OF miles In circumference A
great mass Of ugllness, confusion and dis
tortion, uselessDess aud horror. IL
seemed like great commons on which
smashed-up worlds were dumped. IL
was what poetry and prose, scientist and
Christian agree in calling chaos. Out OF
that black, rough, shapeless egg our
beautiful world was Matched. God stood
over that original anarchy Of clements
and said; "Atlantic ocean, you go right
away aud lie down there! Pacific ocean,
you sleep there! Caucauslan range OF
mountains, you stand there! Mount
49,. .Huf
Mont Blanc, you put on your coronet of
crystal therei Mississippi, you march
there, and Missouri, you marry IL there!"
And he gathered In His Almighty hands
the sand and mud and rock, and rolled
and heaved and nodded and dented and
compressed them into shape, and then
dropped them In four places; and the one
was Asia, and another was Europe, and
another Africa, and another America,
North and South.
That original chaos was.llk the cDnfu-
sion and anarchy into which the human
race ever aud anon has tendency To
plunge. God has said: "Let there be
light OF law, light of justice, light of
peace, light OF lovel" "Nol MOI" say
anarchlc voices; "let there be darkness,
let there he cut-throaterY, let there be
eternal imbroglio let there be chaos"
Such "a social condition many are ex-
pccting because of the overshadowng
contest between labor and capital; there
has not been an intelligent man or woman
during the last two months who has not
asked the question: "Shall we have
bloody revolution in this countryF" |
have heard many answer the question in
the affirmative, answer 1t In the neg

There may be and there have been ter
rife outbursts OF popular frenzy, but
there Will be no anarchy, for the church
