ness ana disgusting SIN ana puued up un-
til we would have been like julius Caesar,
who was made by sycophants to believe
that he was divine, and the freckles on his
face were said to be as the stars of the
armament.
One Of the swiftest transatlantic voyages
made one summer by the Etruria was be-
iause she had a stormy wind abaft, chasing
her from New York 70 Liverpool. But to
those going In the opposite direction the
storm was buffeting and q hindrance. It
is bad thing to have storm ahead, push
ing us back, but if we be Gods children
and aiming toward heaven the storms of
life will only chase us the sooner into the
harbor. am so glad to believe that the
monsoons, typhoons and mistrals and si-
roccos of the land and sea are not unclaimed
maniacs let loose upon the earth, but are
under divine supervisionl am SO glad
that the God of the seven stars is also the
God of Orionl 1t was out of Dante's suf-
fering came the sublime "Divina Com
media, " and out of John Miltons blind
ness came Paradise Lost" and out of
miserable infldel attack came the Bridge
water Treatise in favor of Christianity,
and out of David's exile came the songs Of
consolation, and out of the sufferings of
Christ came the possibility of the world g
redemption, and out Of your bereavement,
your persecution, your poverties, your mis-
fortunes, may yet come an eternal heaven.
Oh, what mercy it is that in the text
and all up and down the Bible God induces
us to look out toward other worldsl Bible
astronomy in Genesis, in Joshua, in Job,
in the Psalms, in the prophets, major and
minor; in St. Johns Apocalypse, practical
ly saying: 'fWorlds! Worlds Worlds! Get
ready for them!" We have a nice little
world here that we stick to, as though los
ing that we lose all. We are afraid of fall
ing off this little raft of world. We are
afraid that some meteoric iconoclast will
some night smash it, and we want every
thing to reyolve around it and are disap-
pointed wien we find that it revolves
around the sun instead of the sun revolv-
ing around it. What fuss we make about
this little bit of a world, its existence only
a short time between two spasms, the par
oxysm by which it was hurled from chaos
into order and the paroxysm of its demoli-
tion.
And am glad th&t SO many texts call
US 10 look Oh 20 otner worlds, many OF
them larger and grander and more re-
splendent' LOOK there, says Job, "at
Mazaroth and Arcturus and his sons"
Look there" says st. John, "at the moon
under Christ's feetl'' "Look there" says
