MANY ARE DIVINELY CALLED
Not Necessarily Only to the Pulpit,
but In All the Ordinary Walks
of Life.

If there is such thing as (. divine
call to earthly workers. why should it
be a monopoly to ministers? There
are thousands of channels of good
besides the pulpit, and it Is reasonable
that those who labor in them should
be now and then divinely endowed for
their work. There have been rulers
divinely ordained. There are teach
ers not few, who some of them in
inconspicuous places. who seem di-
vinely fitted for their work There are
writer's who have guarded their talent
as a sacred responsibility; there are
physicians who rise far above COM
mercial influences and render price
less service to mankind-who, wheth-
er conscious of it or not, are as firm
ly consecrated to the working of good
as II they were n the pulpit Any
woman may bear child, but not
every woman by any means Is filter to

should it not be said that the moth

highmindedness Is diyinely endowed?

A PHRASE we often use, "The mu-
"A sic of the spheres" we owe to
an ancient belief that the heavenly
bodies. as they revolve about the
earth. made wonderful harmony de-
lightful to the ears of God. Present
day knowledge of the stellar world
has. according to some, banished this
pretty fantasy. but It has revealed to
us something more wonderful. We
know that the whole physical uni
verse is in constant and Infinitely va
ried movement, and that this move
ment is rhythmic. The movements Of
stars and planets, Of molecules and
ions, of light and sound, are all ac-
eording to the law Of rhythm. This
Is true also Of all life. There is con-
slant rise and falEthe throb Of the
pulse, the breath Of the lungs. the
beat Of the wing, the passage Of every
generation from youth to age. May
not this infinitely intricate rhythm
really constitute some wonderful rich
harmony for the all-father?
Among the multitudinous rhythms
IN. the midst OF which human life Is
get is the rhythm of the seasons. The
field Is black In winter. green in
spring. golden in summer and brown
In autumn. The wonderful altera-
tons of sowing and tending and reap
ing and plowing are repeated over
and over again from generation to
generation. Changes of civilization
are continuous. Mans habits as he
goes about his work vary Indefinitely.
but natures rhythm fs the same from
age to age. The spade gives place to
the horse plow and the horse plow to
the steam plow; man is nomadic. ag-

sion Of the seasons underlies all hu-

,Ia;c, LIVING MESSAGE:
Story of the Wandering of the
israeIites Conveys Meaning
to us Today.

1T is the abiding charm OF the old
4 Testament that SO many OF Its most
.eautitul incidents contain an eternal
principle. This is the reason why.
through all phases Of religious opin'
Ion, It. still brings to US a message
spiritually true, and that a message
comes fresh, as with the dew or the
earlier day. yet vivid with the un-
changing reality Of Its constant appeal
10 the heart and conscience of man
kind. Undoubtedly you will admit
that this is the case with the great
typical narratives, as it is with many
OF the minor events, recorded in the
Hebrew Scriptures Whatever our
varying human theology may make OF
it, they bear within them that seed
OF Immortality which has preserved
and will preserve God-given inAu-
ences, as primal sources for the
higher life of man.
Such points we surely find in the
memorable story of the wandering of
the lsraelites after they escaped from
Egypt till at last they reached the
land of Canaan. 1t is story not
only picturesque and beautiful in
itself. but with q great meaning for
faith and living message today.
A more human story we can hardly
find, nor one that more steadily sug-
gests its parallel in our ordinary ex-
perience of life. How like ourselves
those far-on people were! Forget
their strange speech, their curious
dress, their unfamiliar ways; forget
the desert setting. the over-arching
eastern sky-they remind us Of our
common ancestry; they compel us to
reflect how little time and place af-
feet our common human experience,
because in the tumult Of their
thoughts is the same contradiction Of
trust and Of fear, of patience and of
hurry. of faith and Of unbelief. which
still vexes US all. No doubt their
experience vas specially trying, but
it served, as it was intended, to bring
out their weaknesses, that through
their weaknesses they might be made
strong. Touching it Is to read in the
narrative of the childlike swaying Of
their feelings from the strong simple
ity of strong confidence in God to
faithless repining against his dealings
with them. Yet through ali this con-
fict Of human emotion, there came
steadying influence, a consciousness
which was long after expressed il
sacred song, that they were committed

God in sea and soil and seasons.
Harvest is Gods gift But he does
not determine how that gift is to be
used-we do. He gives us the raw
materials-we make the civilization.
He gives US iron and electricity and
cottcn-we make battleships and ex-
plosives. He gives US the wherewith-
al, and we make pernicious books.
sweating dens, and liquor shops. The
marvel is the God permits US. that he
allows us so to sQuander his riches.
But it is not all squandering. There
is another side to the picture. God Is
always present by his spirit to direct
and aid mankind in the use Of the
harvest. That Is how good Is done
and progress Is maintained.
Thanksgiving and Dedication.
Harvest, then. is a proper occasion
FOR two things-thanksgiving and ded,
lcntion. The thanksgiving Is obvious.
From him come all good gifts. But
dedication should be as obvious. We
must never lose sight Of the fact that
~ we have is from God, and must be
used in fashion well pleasing to him.
He does not give us the harvest that
we may be gluttons, spendthrifts, self
lsh, luxurious, carried away by waste
full fashions and guilty Of foolish and
costly hobbies. Each is steward OF
his possessions, be they great or
small. Many people set aside 1.-THE
nr other fraction Of their harvest"
for the purposes of God. And this Is
good. But more important and more
Christian is the constant use of all
our possessions as lent us by the
Lord. Said John Woolman, "As he
who first founded the earth was then
the true proprietor of it, so he still re.
mains; and. though he hath given II
20 the children Of men. 4. yet he
hath never alienated it, but his right
