MANS AIM SHOULD
Be TO KNOW GOD
Or. Floyd w. Tomkins OF Holy
Trinity Church, Philadelphia,
Discusses Subject.

ahe Christian Endeavor topic of the
week Is discussed by DIR. Floyd w.
TomSlns OF Holy Trinity Episcopal
Church. Philadelphia. The topic is
what we know about God" Psalms
1879: 1-12. DIR. Tomltins says:
Our knowledge OF God comes, first.
from the Bible, and second from our
Christian experience. The Bible. Gods
inspired word. gives us In the Old
Testament Gods revelation OF Him
self In the creation OF man and In the
selection OF a chosen race through
which and In which the Messiah
should come. No one can read, sincere
~ and prayerfully, the old Testament
without realizing that God Cd is our
Father, (2) that he loves us and longs
to help us, and (S) that He provides
means whereby we may be pardoned
and receive Ills Blessing.
In the New Testament God Is re-
vealed by the Messiah. Jessus Christ
the Son OF God. who came 20 show us
how TO love and to die for our freedom
from sin. In His personal life and In
His words He makes us know God.
The love, the mercy tho guidance, the
of eternal life--these reveal TO us, as
Christ declared them, the character
and work OF God.
When a man receives and accepts
| this revelation and hearing God call
| ing him confesses Christ as hts Savior
he passes to the second stage In his
knowledge of God. He begins to know
Him not only By evidence but by ex-
| perience. As he prays 10 God--that is
/ talks with God--he comes to know Hin
as a friend. As he confesses Christ be.
fore men as his Savior he finds thai
his heart is comforted and made glad
As he follows Christ I'm service--that is
in telling others OF Him and in help
ing them in their needs, God grows
10 he personal. loving. Father ant
Sayior, and by the Holy Spirits guild
ance he grows i'm knowledge. i'm faith
and in love.
II Is all extremely simple for tn
man who studies his Bible and -wh.
gives himself TO Christ. He know
God as the Bible reveals Him. IL
knows God as he daily commune
with Him and rules his life by God
commandments.

soIha IsnInfInn Plan"

soThe Isolation Plan" With annexes
on the Covenant. BY William Her
vey Blymer. Boston, Mass: The
Cornhin Co, "a Park street. Price,
So. net.
Just at this time, with Congress
ratifying a separate treaty with Ger
many, an act of doubtful propriety. 20
say the least, in view Of our intimate
relations with our European Allies
during the worlds great conflict, any
! practical contribution to the cause OF
| bringing about a World Peace is Pc
cullarly appro pertinent and ap-
proprlate And Mr.. Blymers plan.
which he has advocated in a manner
/ that has brought much attention to
his papers, is one that appeals by
reason of its practically and common
sense.
Mr.. Blymer's plan is for an inter
national convention Of nations. under
which the first move would be disarma-
ment and arbitration Of all differences.
with isolation as the means for bring
ing to book, and to sense, any nation
which would presume to set itself
against the combination for peace
and violate the cardinal principles of
the convention.
Mr.. Blymer sets forth his plan in
interesting detail and backs It by con-
yincing argument. And it may we'll
be imagined how, under such con-
vention of nations-even. many will
incline 10 believe, under the existing
League OF Nations with our country
as its leading member-the applica-
ton of the policy of isolation would
soon bring a recalcitrant nation TO a
realization of it's position and its duty.
L would not involve war. with its hor-
rors and devastation, but would COM
prise the complete isolation of the Of
Tending nation and its people from
any intercourse whatever with the
rest the world No people could
long withstand the vicissitudes, the
natural punishments. OF such a policy.
Mr.. Blymer has given years of study
to the subject which he has set forth
so fully in his book. He adopted the
term THE Isolation Plan instead OF
THE Non-Intercourse Plan" as the
latter was not susceptible of transla-
> ton SO as to preserve its phonetic
identity, and prepared a pamphlets
specially for the Worlds Court Con
gress, held in Cleveland in 1914, a
which the idea of economic restraint
was first adopted by a convention
! This action was followed the next yeal
by the League TO Enforce Peace, anC
/ since. after a struggle OF twenty
eight years, by the Paris Peace Con
! ference i'll the Covenant. He pro
duced, during the war, many articles
briefs and memoranda pertaining {,
: it, q number of which have appeared
in the recent edition Of THE Isolation
Plan with Papers on the Covenant
