official dispatches to London express
the belief that she will soon Join the

in all other practical aspects, with
the provision that the Investigators

such additional expenditures by the

EXPLAINS CHIEF
PURPOSE OF GOD
Rev. Gardiner Says il il That Men
May Find Him and Should
be Aim of All.

The Chief Purpose Of God in His
Providence" was the theme dis
cussed yesterday morning by DR..
James L. Gardiner at St. Paurs
Methodist Episcopal church.
DR.. Gardiner. in part, said:
WHAT do you consider to be the
chief purpose Of God in His dealings
with men? Mark you. | use the
word chief 1 am not inquiring
this morning into any secondary or
subordinate purpose that God may
have in this world.
What is that purpose? Is it
that man might become rich in ma
terial things? Is it that n might
accumulate wealth? No. We re-
member it was Jesus who said: Lay
not up for yourselves treasures on
earth and 'Ye cannot serve God and
Mammon.
is Gods chief purpose then the
development of the body? The
Greeks 10 whom Paul spoke at
Athens spent much time in the Gull
tivation OF the body. Now God ex-
poets US 10 take care OF this body.
for il is the temple Of the Holy
Ghost; but his chief purpose has
not 10 do with the training of the
body
Us Gods chief purpose the devel-
opment of the mind? Some Of the
Greeks thought SO. They laid en-
phasis on educational training But
Gods chief purpose. according TO
the text. is not the training of the
intellect.
What. then. is the chief purpose
OF God in His providence Paul
answers this in the words OF the
text when he says that God has
dealt with men as He has that
they might seek Him. il haply they
may feel Him and find Him. thuogh
He is not far from any one Of u.s.
for in Him we live and move and
have our being
This. then. is Gods purpose-that
men might ind Him. This truly is
the end of human life-to know
God and Jesus Christ whom He hath
sent"
