THE CLOSED CHURCnES

Tomorrow will be another churchless day in Perth Amboy and
throughout New Jersey. The closing of the churches is a result of
an order from the state health authorities due to the influenza cpl
demic now prevailing.
til to be hoped that the ban, at least as far as the churches are
concerned, will soon be lifted 1t seems almost like making a travesy
of religion to prevent people from worshipping in their accustomed
most.
If there ever was a time when people should get down on their
knees and beseech Almighty God for help or offer thanks for safety
and deiveranee from death, it is right now. From time immemorial
it has been the custom of peoples of every race and creed to gather in
their churches in time of fire, pestilenee or disaster and implore the
mercies of Him who controls all things. Strange it is, then, that at
this dark hour when people more than ever need their churches, the
church doors are closed by order of the authorities. 1t would seem
almost as if faith in prayer had entirely disappeared.
When the churches are finally opened there ought to be a great
outpouring of the people; there should be a awakening in religion
such as has never been known before. Events of the past two weeks
have shown us here how utterly helpless we, ourselves, are; if ever we
should be impressed with the need Of help from some Superior Being
it is now.
The world has suffered great affiction during the past four
years; almos every calamity imaginable has been visited upon us.
% doubt it is all for a purpose. Is it not possible that one purpose
to arouse us from our worldliness and cause us to return once more
the faith and devotion of our forefathers9
Truly, "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to per-
form."
