The speaker did not believe that
the league OF nations as at present

vas 70 have such league composed
OF the five big nations: The United

Japan. And he advocated the use of
force by the league. He did not be-

that Bolslevism should be destroyed
At the close of his address. Dr.
MlcQueen was accorded enthusiasts

opened the question period he stated
that despite the utterances of any of

Open Forum is political and
non-sectarian and should be so re-

The question period proved of es-
pecial interest, many questions being
asked and DR.. MacQueen's answers
being filed with sound advice and
suggestions. Regarding the prospect
Of an early victory if the armistice
had not been signed. the speaker said
that the question had often been
asked him why General Foch signed
the arnistice. He said that General
Foch had asked of the Germans all
he could think Of and the 2rmans

that General Foch did not think the

ton to lost men urging them to seek
and find God, their heavenly Father?
The Bible everywhere insists that in
departing from God man is lost. The
central truth Of revelation is saliva
ton. or, in other words. the divine
provision whereby lost men may find
God.
Experience bears witness to the fact
that in finding God man also dnds his
own best self.
The deepest need in a mans life is
God. The records show that the ST.
preme quest OF the human race has
been the search after God. When man
energies from the mists Of prehistoric
times. he appears at an altar where he
is looking for God.
But We ara not always conscious Of
this need. IN fact. I think that the
average modern man is seldom con-
scious Of il. He can get along fairly
we'll without God while things go we'll
with him. He can fill his life with 9TH
er interests and affections and go on
from year TO year without realizing his
need Of Cod His life may be so fun
of Gods gifts that the absence of the
Giver IS unnoticed
