Lodges Argument.

Agreeing with Mr.. Perkins that the
ships would not cost much as Mr..
Hale had estimated Senator Lodge admit
ted that the cost would be heavy. Still,
he commended that the proposed increase
of the navy should be made because of
the necessity for the maintenance of q
terests. He took the position that d
strong navy was necessary for the pre-
vention of trouble. The navy was the
last place in which to begin to economic.
he said.
MIR. Lodge agreed with the sentiment
expressed by Mr.. Roosevelt at Christiania
in the interest of interna tional disarma-
ment but insisted that if undertaken it
must be general II it could be done it
would be we'll for mankind, he said, but
it would not do to overlook the fact that
the peace of Europe had been maintained
by the nations that supported large
navies. 4 reduction of our navy would
be the first step toward war. he said.
He attributed the decadence Of Turkey to
the loss of her navy.
Senator Deliver raised the point that
American suggestions looking to disar-
mament could be of little naval effect so
long a. the United States went on with
its armament, but Mr.. Lodge contended
that no effort would be effective that was
not general: the United States only could
agree to disarm provided other countries
would pursue the same course.

THE QUIET HOUR
THE BLESSED SAINT CERTAINTY.

THE BLESSED SAINT CERTAINTY.
With out any leaning Romeward the writer feels that he would
like to have a Protestant calendar Of Saints with Saint Certainty
name enrolled upon it.
Coming from a study of the life of the greatest of the Apos-
ties, there is one fact which shines out more LUMINOSITY than any
other as that checkered life-story is recalled. Whatever else Paul
was, or was not, Paul was alwaysSure. You may scan his life and
letters with microscopic scruntiny and You will find no trace of
waverng or uncertain in his faith.
He knew.
The Distinguishing trait of his faith was that he was sure.
s. x =
The most striking characteristics of the present age is that it
is not sure.
It is not even sure Of its doubts. The unbeief Of today isnot
atheism-which definitely declares that there is no God; it is ag-
Mysticism, which, in a spirit of intellectual flabbness says, Il
don't know whether there is a God; cant know whether there
is a Cod 1t is not even certain of its uncertainties.
And what is true of avowed unbelef, is true of a great null
ttude of those who avow belief they ar not sure-a puff of re
lgious freakishness, a zephyr of spiritual hysteria, will make them
lose hteir religious equilibrium and toppe them over into all sort
of fantastic absurdities and crude substitutes for Christianity.
There are multtudes- even in the churches-who, if they
were strictly honest with themsekelves might adopt the prayer of
the skeptical soldier dying on the battlefield who in answer to the
faithful chaplains urgent solicitation that he send up a prayer,
prayed; "Oh God, if there be a God, saw my soul if have
a soul.
Over against all this reed-shakenby the wind religion, Pauls
81 know, sounds forth like the booming of the SURF at Glib
raltar.
He was sure-"dead sure"-of God, and of the fulfilment of
his sure word of promise.
* - * s. Il * =
While, in many respects, John the Baptist, in his sturdy this
Onethng-l-dO attitude, reminds you Of Paul, there "a n point
in the careers of the two men in which they stand forth in mark
ed contrast. Both We're in prison, and their long confinement
told upon them until it hardly seemed longer endurable. John
seems to have permitted a question to creep into his heart at
this point; and he sent his disciples to the Christ with the query;
"After all, are you truly the Christ" He still had faith in his
friends, but he seems to have wavered for a moment in the Ger
tainty which, before, and after this one lapse of time shone out
unfickeringly.
Paul's imprisonment reversed this experience: his faith in
man was staggered, but his sure confidence in God never fluttered
a pulse. He said, in that pathetic last letter to Timothy, "Al
men forsook me, notwithstanding the Lord stood with me-
With reference to the men upon whom he leaned he could e.

But he was so sure of Christ that he could rise to that wonder
full climax of certainty in the eighth chapter of Romans, Who
shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation,
or distress, or persecution, or famine, or ~nakedness, or peril, or
sword. Nay, in all these things We m more than conquerors
through him that loved us. For am persuaded that neihter
death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities nor powers,
nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor
any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love IL
God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" And again he says with
that ring of triumphant certainty 50 characteristic Of his unclou
ded vision of things eternal; Il know whom have believed, and
am persuaded that he is able to keep that have committed to
him against that day There is no room for questioning that
the blessed Saint Certainty was Pauls patron saint.
No doubt throngs OF Christians will get to glory who lack
the lofty serenity of this uncouded faith, but they need
lessy multiply their spiritual dsoomforts On the way.
They have ample foundation upon which to build a sky
scraper, and they merely build a squat, onestoried shack. Paul
selected and clamped together the massiv rocks of confidence in
Christ, and they were as firm a the foundations of some towering
light house that laughs at the tempets futile attempts to
dislodge it. And then, upon this r~ock-base, he reared his faith
a faith so firm that no storms of earth or hell could move it.
y = = - - = =
And we may do the same. That old hymn sings it;
My faith is fixed on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness.
On Christ the solid rock stand,
All other ground is sinking sand
God is willing. He has made adequate provision for this kind
of certainty. His promises are countless, and none of them have
ever been broken.
The writer remembers how, when a lad, watching a magician
for the first time, as, apparently he plucked silver coins from the
air at his will, he returned to his home making up his mind that
if the air was full of them he would have some too. He soon
learned, of course, that it was merely a trick of seeing.
But this is no illusion.
All round about Gods childr en- the riches of his grace are a.
waiting faiths appropriation, and he who will may draw upon the
Master for unlimited supplies.
And he who simply takes Gods word for al. this and rests
in it, may go forth with brow serene and heart of oak, strong be-
cause he is sure-not of himself, not for a moment:-not of crcum
stances, they shift and melt away like sand dunes before the encr-
oaching tide but sure that "He-whose word can neer be brok-
en- will never leave him nor forsak him-even to the end Of the
WORLD. H. Bomberger.
