were to travel-Penny to go a week in

Penny made his first appearance some-
where in Albemarle county and worked
his way down through Buckingham,
Charlotte and thence to the border line
of North Carolina, and so on over the
route selected. His procedure was the
same in all cases. Wherever he could

God Infinitely Wise.

But we live in times when there are
so many clashings. There seems al
most universal unrest Large fortunes
swallow up small fortunes. Civilized
nations trying to gobble up barbaric
nations. Upheaval of creeds, and peo-
pie who once believed everything now
believing nothing. The old book that
Moses began and st. John ended bonn
barded from scientific observatories
and college classrooms. Amid all this
disturbance and uncertainty that which
many good people need is not a slim
illus, but sedative. and in my text 1
find it-divine observation and guild
ance of minutest affairs. And nothing
is to God large or small, planet or ant
hill, the God who easily made the
worlds employing his infinity in the
wondrous construction of a spiders
foot.
Before we leave this subject let us
thank God for those who were willing
to endure the fatigues and self sacri-
fees necessary to make revelation of
the natural world, so reinforcing the
Scriptures. If the microscope could
speak, what a story it could tell of
hardship and poverty and suffering and
perseverance on the part of those who
employed it for important discovery.
1t would tell of the blinded eyes of NJ.
Strauss, of the Hubers and of scores of
those who, after inspecting the minute
objects of Gods creation, staggered
out from their cabinets with vision de-
stroyed. This hour in many a pro-
fessor's study the work of putting eye
sight on the altar of science is going
on. And what greater loss can one
suffer than the loss of eyesight unless
it be loss of reason? While the tele-
scope is reaching farther up and the
microscope is reaching farther down,
both are eXclaiming: There is a God,
and he is infinitely wise and infinitely
good! Worship him and worship him
foreverr'
And now bethink myself of the fact
that we are close to a season of the
year which will allow us to be more
out of doors and to confront the les
sons of the natural world, and there
are voices that seem to say, go to the
ant; go to the bird; go to the flowers;
go to the fields; go to the waters" Lis
ten to the cantatas that drop from the
gallery of the tree tops. Notice in the
path where you walk the lessons of in
dustry and divine guidance. Make
natural religion a commentary on re-
vealed religion. Put the glow of sun
rise and sunset into your spiritual ex-
periences. Let every star speak of the
morning star of the Redeemer and ev-
cry aromatic bloom make you think of
him who is the Rose of Sharon and the
Lily of the Valley and every overhang-
ing cliff remind you of the rock of
ages and every morning suggest the
''day spring from on high, which CIV
eth light to those who are in darkness"
and even the little hillock built by the
roadside or in the fields remind you of
the wisdom of initiating in temporal
and spiritual things the insectile fore
thought, (which, having no guide, over
seer or ruler, provideth her meat in the
summer and gathereth her food in the
harvest"

radiate from the door with as complete
arrangement as ever the boulevards of
a city radiated from a triumphal arch
or lowered circle.
If there is a divine regulation in a
colony or republic of insects, is there
not a divine regulation in the lives of
immortal men and women? If God
cares for the least of his creatures and
shows them how to provide their meat
in the summer and gather their food
in the harvest, will he not be interest

in the guidance of human affairs? 1

Let there be order in our individual
lives, order in the family, order in the

world there is no room for anarchy.
After what Linn9us and Pierre HUI
Der have told us concerning these liv-
ing mites of the natural world, are we
not ready to believe that the God who
turns the wheel of the solar system
and the vaster wheel of the universe
regulates the beehive and the ant hill
and that all the affairs of our mortal
lives are under divine management?
