ALL THINGS WORK
TOGETHER FOR GOOD"
SAYS. DIR. DAVIDSON
In SUNDAY SERMON

DR.. r. l.. Davidson preached 10 an
other large audience at the Broadway
Baptist church Sunday morning ON the
subject: "The Christians Allies" from
the text, AN things work together
for good to those that love God" He
said in part:
1.-The man of God is not alone In this
world. Mighty forces both seen and
unseen, are his allies. He fights a
winning battle.
All Things
This comprehensive term sweeps
the universe. Man is related to the
dust beneath his feet; to the stars
aflame in. the sky; to human life in
all of its phases of good and i'll, in
all its history, past, present and to
come; TO the God above who made
him and TO the demons beneath who
seek to defie him. There are so many
things in this universe, Paul included
them hl-sickness and health; ad-
versity and prosperity; failure and suc>
cess; pain and pleasure; good and i'll.
All Things Work
There is nothing static in the uni
verse. All things work. bees ants,
flies, stars, germs, weeds, thorns,
brlars angels, demons death. This
is a busy universe.
All Things Work Together
There seem to be two forces oper-
ating in the world-a benevolent and
malevolent one, They seem to be
antagonistic to each other and the
malevolent forces appear often to
prevail and to threaten the utter
overthrow and defeat Of the man of
God. Notwithstanding appearances,
God is supreme. The royal scepter has
not slipped from his hand. All is un-
der His control. There is a divine
purpose from his hand. All is under
His control. There is divine pur-
pose running through all human his
tory. Only God can bring antagonistic
forces into ao-operation and make
them work together for the accomplish
ment Of divine end.
All Things Work Together for Good
| How can pain and pleasure; ad-
versity and prosperity: sickness and
health; failure and success; poverty
and plenty; SANDER and praise, worn
together for my good? Only God car
| yoke them up and work them together
| He Is working not for my temporal
transient pleasure but for my eterna
| good. The tree that is to bear frui,
needs the frost of winter as we'll a:
the heat Of summer; the night q.
well as the day; the storm as wei
as the calm. All things are needfu
for the welfare Of the man of God
We dare not reject anything. Wher
the physician has prescribed some med
icine, we go to the apothecary to hav,
it compounded. and he takes one in
gredient from this phial, and an
other from that, and another from
elsewhere any one OF these takeI
alone might kill outright but whel
they have been well compounded an.
mixed they work together for a per
feet cure. God knows how to pre-
scribe for US.
Love of God

mony with God all things work TO
his good Love to God is the alchem

metals into gold. 1t is the master han
that harmonizes the discordant force
of earth and bitches them up an
causes them to work together for ou
eternal good. He who loves God /
assured that all things are his allies
