must be exalted in the earth. The sea
Is his also. All of its paths must be
open to those who honor him, and
closed to all the rest. The attempt to
have ii otherwise Is an insult to the
majesty Of heaven. The beast OF Ber-
lin is guilty, and now he hears the
thunder of Gods football coming to
open the seas and to avcngc the blood
of innocent women and children. His
purposes are ripening fast. unfolding
every hour, the bud may have bitter
taste, but sweet will be the flower.
We are nearing the close of the
reign of sin and other havoc caused by
that strange woman. Miss Ed. L. Ca
ton" She will soon be uncrowned.
Just think Of Germany debating the
worlds educational policy, writing its
philosophy and threading It's theology
with scepticism and infidelity for the
past thirty years. No wonder we are
in trouble. But we will have no more
of such trash. Many have been saying
it makes no difference what man be-
lieves. so he is honest In 1t, but we
have found out better. The difference

lars and twenty million lives in the
past four years. So, we must see
what men are taught, what they be-
lieve and what they practice, because
no man liveth to himself, dieth to him
sclf or goes to hell to himself either.
We had come near to letting Gods
Son die in vain. but now since our
sons are giving their lives for the
same cause, we will see to 1t That
neither sacrifice Is in vain. WeW1u
furnish the money and everything else
needed for complete victory. If the
money don't come one way, 1t will
come another. and sooner or later, ev-
cry man roosting under our vine and
hgtrec, will bear his part. / see by the
morning paper that Germany has at
last discovered America, on the same
day of the same month that Columbus
did 426 years ago. but owing to an In
tcrcalation of II days In 1852. the an
niversary Of that event now falls on
October the cath, and by that time we
may be ready to celebrate in due style.
Go to it boys. Gods last and best

But listen again. Here is another
note in the answer: Gods time to be
exalted in the earth among the heath
en- is ut hand He must soon have his
place in the affairs of men and ma
tions. He has been waiting out In the
weather long enough. He has had to
plant his footsteps in the sea and ride
upon the storm long enough. He
wants to ride with US in our automo-
biles and on our railroads, and plant
his footsteps in our homes. on our
streets, In our stores and in our legis-
lative halls. But many Of us have not
been willing. He knocked at the door
and we said, Who is there? Then we
opened the door Il little to see. Then
we said to God: You can't come In
now. Go off and walt till call you.
Slam went the door In Gods face. The
reason we would not let him in was be-
cause we knew there was something in
there that would have to go out, and
we were not ready for that, but we
went back to the door and said: Don't
go too far, Lord. I might want you II
| should see cyclone coming or get
sick to die. then would say, run here
quick Lord. So you just wait out there
somewhere. And God has been wait
ing while the whole creation groans In
pain til now. But see God standing
at that door again. He is taking of
his cloak to come in, and see things
flying out at the windows. 1t will soon
be ready for him to come in.
