men and can be diverted from a
purpose to inJure men In a material
sense IL importuned by such as lie
has commissioned for the parpose.
Ny critics seem TO teach that God
Is unable. unaidcd. to supervise the
spiritual welfare OF humanity bnt
must call upon such men as lie
has set apart for the purpose to aid
him in His work OF spirltualiKIng the
sons of men. My critics place great
stress upon the sacrifice Christ made
when he laid down his life for the
purpose OF appeasing the wrath OF
the Father toward men but have
very little 20 say concerning the
grand moral truths he uttered con-
corning mems duty toward each
other. My conception OF God Is
that He Is the sole and unaided
author OF all that Is. has been or
ever will be. that He Is present In
one place in the universe as muvh
as In another. that He is as much
in and OF the humblest and most
ignorant stable boy as lie is In and
OF the most learned theologian the
world has ever produced. do not
believe God is any respector OF per-
sons. | believe that God Is all and
in all and that He Is amply able 10
conduct the affairs OF the universe
without the aid of poor weak hui
manity. | believe God is all pow
orful. all Wise and everywhere. I
believe when He created man He
knew what man would be. was
able to construct Him plepically and
morally according His win conse-
quently designed that man should
be just what he is. ! believe that
Gods will is an immutabie law and
that IL would be piece of sacreligi-
Gus impudence for me, poor, weak
worm Of the dust. to make to the
Lord any suggestions concerning how
lie should conduct His affairs. !
believe In prayer or rather a soul
longing of a man to get himself In
harmony with God and nature and
II am almost persuaded that such
prayer leads to soul consciousness
of a oneness OF God.
know that the greatest moral

given to us through the earthly min
Iistry of Christ.
| hope when the breath shall de-
part from my body and my eyes shall
lclose in death that there shall 80
Tout from me a consciousness that
will live forever In freedom from
