Should We Fear God7

Let II be fully considered Mt once
that the fear of the Lord rs presented
in the Scriptures is not chiefly an
emotion produced by threatened evils,
but rather reverence of God and ~ n
motive IL should operate along the
lines Of respect for God because he Is
holy and reverent. The fear of pain
connected with losing the favor or
friendship of God Is In place, too, but
the moment that Is admitted there
Is admission of fear of another kind
fear as II is defined, ian emotion ex-
cited by threatening evil or impending
pain, accompanied by desire to avoid
or escape IT," There Is place for this
kind of fear of God in connection with
religious experience, and that motive
should have more recognition than In
the past. Why is this so?
First. because God Is back Of every
law, the violation of which brings suf-
ferlng or pain. Law does not operate
automatically. No evil resulting from
violated law is blind thing; 1t is the
result of infinite wisdom and lntelli-
gent provision. God is behind every
law.
Secondly, there are the clearest
teachings in the Word Of God that
evil will be punished by God. From
the moment II was said: "in the day
thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely
die" to the present moment, sin has
been punished. 1t Is specifically said:
"The Lord shall reward the doer Of
evil according TO his wickedness." !"
"The face of the Lord Is against them
who do evil, tn cut Off the remem-
brance of them from the earth" God
says, 81 will punish the world for their
evil and the wicked for their iniqul-
ties" 81 myself will fight against thee
with an outstretched hand, and with q
strong arm, even in anger and In great
wrath" Several of the parallels Of
the New Testament teach the retrib-
utive wrath of God. Ii Is God the
Judge who will say in the great judg-
ment day; Depart from me ye that
work in iniquity."
And, thirdly, the thought should be
carried to the hereafter. Men are
facing the hereafter these days as not
before. More people have died in the
last three years than any three years
preceding, possibly excepting some
perlods in the history of the world in
n time of pestilence. Millions are
slain on the battlefield, other millions
die in war-strlcken countries by starv-
alton, and other hundreds of thou
sands suffer violent death. What of
the future world as we contemplate
the multitudes sweeping into it?
No Apology for "Hell."
When Jesus was speaking to his dis
cinles he did not make any apology
when he said 'hell." He meant the
abode of the wicked in the other
world. The disciples were to fear the
God who could cast both body and soul
into hell but they were not to fear
man, who could only kill the body
The burning city of destruction was
n good place to leave, and Bunyan's
pilgrim left It as rapidly as he could.
We might ask, "Who In these days
fears the pain and hopelessness of
hellf But the great fact is, hell re-

AUSTRIAN CABINET OUT.
seydler Ministry Resigns o'
nudget Fight.

AMSTERDAM. Feb. S.--Dr vo, Seydler,
the Austrian Premier. has rendered the
resignation of his Cabinet to Emperor
Charles. according to a despatch from
Vienna. 4 despateh from Zurich says
Emperor Charles has refused to accept
the resignation.
The resignation, II is understood IN
parliamentary circles in Vienna. Is due
to the opposition OF Polish Deputies
against special rebates and the provi-
sional budget. The opposition OF the
Deputies makes majority for the
budget doubtful.
President Gross of the Lower House,
announcing the resignation. said that
according to the Constitution II was
necessary to postpone temporarily the
sittings Of the House. .t
The Cabinet Of Dr. Won Seydler. which
was formed last June, was reported to
have resigned during the recent labor
crisis in Austria Hungary. This report
was not confirmed.
Dr. Won Seydler was able to bring
about the cessation of the strike by in
forming labor delegations on January 20
that II was the wish of the Austrian
Emperor to end the war at tho earliest
possible moment by an honorable peace.
Other members Of his Government prom
which the labor leaders ordered their
followers to return to work. This vir-
tually ended the strikes in Vienna.
The Cabinet Of Or. Won Seydler was Of
q st6pgap bureaucratic character. or>
ganized after It had been found impos-
sible to form a Ministry which could
work with the Austrian Parliament on
a positive programme OF inner reform
and reorganization. The various parties
Of the Austrian Lower House were so
badly split on such questions as the
future status OF Bohemia and Galicia
that no prominent statesman could be
found to organize the Ministry.
DIR. Won Seydler then was selected by
the young Emperor to form an interim
Ministry to carry on the Government.
but without any definite positive pro-
gramme. and did SO largely by promot-
ing subordinate permanent officials of
the bureaucrat type to be acting heads
Of the various departments.
Permanent character ultimately was
given to this Cabinet when IL was seen
that conditions were against the forma-
ton OF political Ministry OF normal
type. 1t had experienced several
changes In membership since. but still
retained its original bureaucratic char.
acter.

partment, to 20 into effect February 2S.

names nor numbers.

wearers on them. but We have Just
begun on the numbering system. ron.
seduently it Is probably true that there
we're no numbers on these tags.
",rhe War Department authorizes the
announcement that 1t has been de-
cided to assign number to each man
In the armies OF the United States
These numbers. beginning at No. and
continuing without limit and without
alpha habeticai prefix o. affix, will be
stamped on the metal identification tags
now worn by soldiers. The numbers
will be assigned as Of February IS
and viii be distributed among soldiers
both in this country and with the
American expeditionary forces.
Gen. Pershing concurs in tire plan
for numbering the men which had been
under consideration in the Office OF the
Acknowledgement both prior to and
since the receipt Of Gen. Pershing' 5
cablegram.
For tho present no numbers will be
assigned to officers and civilians serving
in the army. Should 1t be deemed nee
essary later to give them numbers the
process will be independent Of the num-
boring Of the enlisted men,
The system provides for one series OF
numbers without alphabetical prefix for
all enlisted men regardless OF organlza-
ton. The number assigned soldier
will become q part of his official desig-
nation. never will be changed and never
will be assigned to another soldier. 1t
will be entered plainly on all individual
records Of soldiers.
Blocks of numbers will be allotted by
the Acknowledgement of the Army to the
commanding General Of the American
expeditionaa'y forces. to department COM
ma nders and to commanding generals OF
divisional camps. ports of embarkation
and recruit depots. An effort will be
made to number on February 2s all en-
listed men In service in the United
States.
Tho necessity for the adoption OF a
System Of numbering enlisted men arises
from the fact that In many cases two or
more and sometimes many enlisted men
bear identical names and from the fact
that in numerous cases the names OF en-
listed men are identical except only as
to one or two letters. II Ia obvious that
In such cases az these there IL likelihood

tifying the records Of particular indi-
vidual whose name is at hand.
