Now, as there was a deadly disease
eating into the vitals Of my friends
body, so there is a deadly disease eat
ing into the very heart of our social
life. Thousands upon thousands Of our
cradles are infected by prenatal weak
nesses and the evil reSIlts Of ancestral
sins. We must remember that the
present generation is not responsible
for all its poor. For. as most Of us
have inherited the physical looks Of a
father and a mother, a grandfather or
a grandmother, so there are hosts Of
unfortunate children born into the
world who from the cradle are doomed
to life of physical incompeteney be-

DO WE WORSHIP THE TRUE GOD?
By John w. Primrose, D. D.

Perplexing questions will sometimes
distress the tranquility of true Chris
tian. They may disturb his serenity
but not long. Like the wind-shaken
sapling, the Christian becomes only the
more firmly rooted and grounded in
spiritual discernment.
This query has perhaps intruded 1t
self upon your attention: How do
know that l worship the only living and
true God?" Common sense tells me thai
there is a God, the Creator and supreme
Ruler over all. Only the fool has said
in his heart-no God. But is he the
God of the Bible? Mother" Eddy, the
inventor Of christian Science" says,
No, He is not. She wrote that Jehovah
was only a tribal deity like Moloch
Though Jehovah be the only living and
true God it is obvious that He is NOT
the object of Christian Science wor-
ship.
Is there anything whereby | can iden-
tify this unseen God with the God Of the
Bible? That the God we worship has
promulgated a moral law which com
mands the admiration of all mankind
that He has revealed plan of salvation
which solves the problem, How God ga"
e righteous and yet justify the upright
eous; that prophecies and types of the
Old Testament had a wonderful fulfill
ment in Jesus Christ; that God him
self sheds abroad in our hearts the
assurance Of His love; all these things
and many more furnish Astounding and
convincing evidence that our God is the
true and living God. But is this God
now doing anything to identify Himsen
with the God of the Scriptures
1t is customary to say that the day
Of miracles is past. Nevertheless / am
bold to say that we, in this day, see
a work of Jehovah as convincing as that
which constrained King Darius to pro
claim, "He is the living God who hath
delivered Daniel from the power OF
the lions" This work none but the
Almighty could bring about. BY the
mouth of his prophets, Jehovah re
peatedly declared it His purpose to do
this thing that all might know that I
who do this am Jehovah.
To the Patriarchs God was known as
El Shaddai, the Almighty. The name,
Jehovah. was also current, but as God
said to Moses, He was not known to
them by that name; it's significance was
not realized as was His supreme power.
What attribute did the name, Jehovah
emphasize?
In Ex. 3 10, we read: Moses said
unto God, Behold when L come unto

Body and one Blood; Christ henceforth

No wonder that the angels desire to

wonder that they have holy envy of

and to such privileged people. Look

this day, the angels of God will return
TO their ministrations in the heavenly
temple, saying: I'VE have seen strange
things down there to-day"
Fasten then when you sit at the
Table, fasten on all your past and
present sins. Fasten on the worst
things you ever did. Fasten on your
most scarlet sin. Fasten on that sin
against God and man for which you
will never forgive yourself and which
you will never forget. Fasten on the
worst word you ever spoke. Fasten on
the most hidden inquiry of your most
hidden heart. Especially fasten, with
all your might, on the sins that cast
pain and horror at yourself all last
week. fasten on all that, and lay all
that fast and firm on Christ, for He is
Standing before you for the very
purpose. 1t will make you sweat blood
to do 1t, but it must be done. You must
not rise from His Table till you have
done it. You must lay all your sins on
your Surety on the spot. With the cup
still at your lips look up and say to
God the Father; look up and say to
Christ your Redeemer; and say it also
to your own sinful soul; say this; say,
God was in Christ, reconciling the
world unto Himself, not imputing their
trespassers unto them. For He made
Him to be sin who knew no sin, that we
might be made the righteousness of God
IN Him." And, as you rise from the
IaDle and go down to your own house,
Keep saying all the way: Il am cruel
ned with Christ; nevertheless I live;
YET not l, but Christ liveth in me; and
the life live In the flesh I live by the
Ialth of the Son of God, who loved me,
and gave Himself for me-"

follow to-day's Table; this most won
