we know when we are going to be in criti-
cal need of faith like Paul's-of faith like
that of our dying Lord? Every man who
suffers needs it. Every man who thinks
needs it.
I say that every Man who thinks needs
God. We are thinking here tonight. We
have been thinking some Of the very
thoughts which have stolen away the faith
OF many 4 man and many a woman. We
have been facing facts which throw the
mind into an agony. We have been dealing
with conditions which faith has to reckon
with. I have talked with men, the tumult
of whose minds made me think of the
north coast waves, as Robert Louis Ste
venson describes them, in all the terror of
them, in all the power OF them to wreck
the frail banks in which men voyage. There
may be minds incapable OF tumult. There
may be people who cannot understand
how any question relating to religion can
80 stir the mind. A young man who
thinks and who knows how to think said
10 ME not long age; Il am swimming for
my life" And he reproached Christian
ministers for their APPARENT failure TO real
ize that there are mn.titndes like himself,
who are wrestling with the great underiy-
ing questions of God or lie God. soul or no
soul, Immortality Or annlhl.ation. liberty
Or necessity. -,
Such a man wrote a little while ago 10
the editor of a ~well-known periodical.
Prayer, the Bible, Christ. miracles, these
were the subjects in thinking about which
he had become bewildercd. He calls loud
ly for help. 1t would be easy to say that
he had simply got himself into "a state of
mind" and that it would do no good to
reason with him. Bat what woald be easy
is not always sure to be what would be
fair ard right. Faith has sometimes had
too great a fondness for Easy Method
With Doubters." This man says: Most
Of the religious discussions that | hear or
read seem to me to deal with mere side is
s~ues-why young men don't attend church
