LORD is NOT IN IT.
Rev. Arthur Henderson Refers to
Taft-Roosevelt Controversy.

Il think that good many of the
tnlngs theodore is saying now and the
Things Taft is urged to say have moth
ing TO do with the Lord" said DR..
arthur 5. Henderson at the First
congregational church Sunday even
ing. lie was saying that in his opin-
ION the Lord speaks to. people at the
present time just as much as He did
IN biblical days, and that he believed
COO spoke to Theodore Roosevelt
when the treaty between Russia and
Japan was brought about which
closed the recent war between those
two countries.
IF God ever had anything to say
1t is reasonable to suppose He still
has something to say said he.
What about this business of saving
that an angel of the Lord did such
and such a thing? This absolutely
literal Interpretation of the Bible is
likely to lead people astray. We seem
10 THINK that we must make a miracle
OF everything we see in the Bible and
minimize the miraculous in everyday
life.
You church people frequently use
the expression 'providentiaP when
you believe that somehow God had
to do with an event. When the He
brews spoke of an angel of the Lord
coming they meant the same thing"
At this point the speaker was in
terrupted by the noise of a pop-pop
machine. He exclaimed: "a fellow
who will ride one of those machines
past church hasn't sense enough to
be loose at night"
