JUST A LITTLE REASONING


Extract of Discourse by Rev. J. K.
Barr
Cold cometh ont OF the north or
as in the margin cold cometh out OF
the scattering winds. job 27-9.
God says: Come now let us reason
together. Multitudes rush on for the
accumulation of what is in their
estimation the almighty dollar, heed
less of the fact that anything else Is
of import. Other crowds go pell neil
after physical qualifications, as
though that were the only thing
worth seeking. But neither OF these
ideals stand the tests that come to
every heart, tests without which
there can be no capacity for delight
and happiness. The Book of Job
from which we have our text, Is
beautiful, serious and practical. and
deals with the problems of human
life to their deepest depths. Yes.
God appeals to reason in thought and
through all His words, and the work
ings of the nnalterable eternal laws
OF electricity, grayitation and heat
and cold Scientists and philoso-
pliers. in all their channels of
thought and findings, always and
everywhere meet with God, His
word and laws.
1t is very wonderful thing, the
immensely of which finite man is in
capable OF grasning. The measuring
of distance to sun, moon and various
planantes; the speed and intensity of
light and heat; the power OF the
objective over the subjective mind;
the progress in telepathy, telegraphy,
air ships and the various uses being
made more and more OF electricity
We have grasped enough TO demon
strate that we have but simply begun.
Here Is an illustration, Maury in
his Physical Geography of the
Sea-" speaks of "a river in the sea
Its banks and bottom are water.
On the basis that this river is %
miles wide and 1000 feet deep and
its current flow a little more than
two miles an hour, II carries con-
tinualIy 1900, 900, 1000, 100000 foot
pounds of heat. or one-fourth the
amount received from the sun by the
world from the tropics to the north
pole. This stream carried heat keeps
northern Europe from being a Lab
rador and the central Atlantic region
from being uninhabitable because OF
heat, going out between Florida and
Cuba at SIS degrees and returning
after a wide circuit from Africa s
coast at 40 degrees. The great
English nation would be an impossi-
bility without it, There Is still
greater river in the Pacific The
Kuroshiwi comes up by Japan, strikes
the Aleutian Islands, circles round
by Alaska: strikes Sitka 1900 miles
north of Parland, SO warm that there
is seldom ice enough for skating;
then the current comes by San Fran
cisco with enough cold to make sharp
reminder every summer afternoon
the areral currents are evident.
The heated air rises from the equa-
tor and the air from the poles at once
takes Its place, and the heated air
moves toward the poles. Then there
are notifications made by mountains
streams and inland seas. etc. Ac-
cordingly is the scriptural statement
while the earth remaineth, seed time
and harvest, cold and heat, summer
and winter. day and night shall not
cease
So God is speaking to every one OF
us. Let us reason together. All Is
yours There is good in everything,
for every one You can conquer
every thing Not in the narrow
human way but in His infinitely
better way
