EVIDENCE OF GOD.
BY the Rev. j. D. Forsyth of the Chris
tian Church.

by the Rev. j. D. Forsyth of the Chris
tan Church.
In the study of all human nature We
find dispensation to worship. The
heather in his native country, sur
rounded by his small world, knowing
nothing whatever of our God, is found
worshiping some work of nature, wor
Shipping streams, animals, stars, moon
and many Of them using some image
created by their own hands. This Paul
found in his journeys, one bearing the
inscription, ''To the unknown God, we
see they have a disposition to love and
reverence. some supreme power, even
though it be an unknown God" Look
at or ''red man of the forest" when
discovered here on these wild Ameri-
can shores, laid away at his death
with his hunting equipment, as he was
supposed to need it when he reached
the 'happy hunting ground"
The natural tendency of the human
race to worship an unknown being
leads US to believe We are created by
this all powerful being we read of.
Look now at the works of nature, the
mighty rocks and hills towering in
their majestic beauty, and adding so
much to our comfort and welfare
speak volumes to us Of the power Of
the Creator of the universe to whom
all nature bow in subsection.
The starry hosts of heaven moving
with such harmony in the small amount
Of space allotted to them without
clash, is unrefutable evidence of the
existence of their creator.
But this evidence alone leaves us ig-
norant Of the nature Of this power OF
being. But Gods work being perfect
in all things, He has given US His book,
which considers perfectly with nature,
revealing to US evidently the same GOD.
4 book that has been handed down to
us through the ages and generations of
the past with reverence and scrutiny,
book that fills completely the hearts
of the people.
Our disposition and nature gives us
an idea of a God and a desire to woT-
ship Him, this book tells us of his his
tory and reveals to US His dealing with
mankind as well as His will toward us
and our duty to him.
This being the only revelation of the
kind we have, and being so unanimous
" accepted, we consider it a true re-
velation of the God of our nature and
of our existence. We consider it given
by inspiration and should be taken as
a religious guide. We consider our
souls salvation resting in the hands of
the God, revealed to US by the evidence
set forth and the only assurance we
have of salvation from the sting of
death is to accept this evidence. We
have no one else offering eternal saliva
ton. We have no other book reVeling
to us any other God, or any other plan
of human salvation 1t is mans nature
to seek peace and ensure it, yet we see
many rejecting the only hope of their
salvation.
Some give as their reasons for not
accepting it that parts of it seems IN
reasonable. To this | have but to call
your attention again to the works of
nature. A power that can create this
universe and control it can surely do
the works Of God revealed to us in the
bible. Nothing is impossible with
God that can create the mighty works
We see around us every day of our lives.
And 40 wise aud merciful God will
create man and place him here on
earth without giving him some know
ledge of their creator and leave them
plan of salvation.
