CALAMITY'S COMPENSATION

lNl have not failed to draw the
proper spiritual lessons from
the sore calamity that has fallen upon
San Francisco and the Pacific slope.
1t is gratifying to note that none of
these religious leaders have character
lied the awful event as a Judgment
from God upon the sins of the stricken.
Certainly the ways of God are past
finding out and the business of attempt
ing to justify those ways is a piece of
impertincncc which we do we'll to fore
go. 1t is always becoming to answer a
"Why" with Il know not" and never
quite so becoming as when we stand in
the presence of providcntial events that
the fountains of human kindness open
judgments in the dust. Let us turn
from the things that are beyond the
measure of mans mind. and look for
the light that can be seen in even such
hours of darkness And that light is
not hid. We have been made to see
thte fountains of human kindness open
ed without stint. and that mercy which
is more acceptable than burnt offerings,
has held full sway in the human heart.
If there is 50 much that is bad in the
best of MS. there is also very much that
is good in the worst of us, and that
remnant of goodness, which vet glori-
fes our poor humanity in its low estate,
has shown with fine inspiration in these
days of unStntrd and unselfish ministry
to stricken men. Humanity is of the
very essence of religion. Jesus has
identified himself with the needy ones
of the earth and assured us that in
ministcrng to them we minister to Him.
And certainly in these days of appeal
ing need the Christian spirit has famed
in many hearts of whose formal creed
the world asks no questions. We have
simply rcioiccd to see the fine record of
human kindness and sympathy and un-
selfShnesS; rcjOiccd to see weary hungry
men standing manfully TO their tasks,
guiding others to safety or Shr ring with
them their own insufficient food"-the
