made for the flower, as the birds wing
fits the air, and the fin OF the fish the yield
ing water. 80 in the moral and religious
world God adapts His plans and methods
to the needs Of the time.

is no surer test Of the overruling provi-

In the church Of God can be seen Gods
nice adjustment OF time and place and
method to the needs Of the age.

veloped new worid-embracing plan for
the upbuflding Of His church among the
young in the twentieth century which has
Just dawned This plan He called the
