Clcrgy's Opportunity
What wonderful opportunity
the clergy have had and neglected
during the past five years OF dis
trcss, Instead OF misleading the
people into erroneous ways. where
they have found sorrow reigning
in the home because OF the death OF
loved ones, because OF the loss upon
the battlefield Of some dear one,
what splendid opportunity to call
attention TO tho precious promises
OF the Scriptures! For instance. to
say to the weeping mother: Thus
saith the Lord -. Refrain thy
voice from weeping. and thine eyes
from tears: for thy work shall be
rewarded, saith the Lord and they
shall come again from tho land OF
the enemy. And there is hope In
thine end saith the Lord. that thy
lchildren shall come again TO their
own border" (Jeremiah 3l:I5-l7)
The land OF the enemy Is the land OF
death, because death is the great
enemy: and the Lord will call back
all who have gone into that condi-
tion, and during his reign he will
destroy death.--l Corinthians 49,:
25. 2s.
Appeal to the Clergy.
Il is not my thought to hold up
the clergy to ridiculc but rather
would | appeal to them that they
fulfill their duty and obligation to
the people in this hour OF distress.
would remind them that the com
. ! m ission given to all followers of
Jesus is not TO convert the world
and bring them into some organized
system. Their commission is not TO
collect money from the people TO
carry out these purposes. Their COM
mission is not to persecute others.
hut their divinely given commits
sion is plainly set forth by the Lord
in these words: "Tho Spirit OF the
| Lord God is upon me: because the
Lord hath anointed mo to preach
good tidings unto the meek; he hath
g sent mo TO bind up the broken.
