'SThe Living God" Was Subject

"The Living God" was subject OF
Rev. George L. Thurlow's sermon at
the Federated Church, Sunday morn
Ing. He began his message by stat
ing that his principal difficulty, which
he believed was more or less common
to all, was to think of God at all
times rs living all powerful. ever
present Father. 1t 10 easy for US to
accept him as the Creator of the
world but to sense His presence In
sunshine and storm, summer and
winter, amidst hills and valleys Ii
more difficult. We believe God spoke
in ancient times through Amos and
Isaiah do we hear Him speak through
Christian men today? We beloved
His guiding hand In IsraePs history
do we see 1t in the present day history
OF Europe and America?
1t Is because to him God is nothing
but a historical fact that the average
mans religion Is only one of many In
terests in his life and absolutely
subordinate to such vital concerns al
home business or profession. 1t Ii
when God is "closer to us than breath
ing, nearer than hands and feet" wheI
like Gen. Sherman we can write, 81
am sure that the God who created
the mirrow and who has nodded tht
rose and carnation, given each til
sweet fragrance will provide for those
mortal men who strive to do right II
the world. AT all events l will trus
Him with absolute confidence" tha
the comfort and strength of Gods liv
ing presence becomes to us our price
less possession.
There's no better way to know hin
than to follow the advice of the
psalmist BE still and know that He
is God"
Beneath the streets OF ancient
Shechem there are subterranean riy'
ers. During the noise and tumult Of
the days traffic one is unaware Of
their presence. In the quietness OF
the night as one listens amid the
silence he can hear the music of theil
glow far far below. So in the dir
and confusion of our daily lives We
too lose the music of Gods living
presence and love. Through the
quiet hour of worship of prayer ant
meditation we hear again His voice
realize His presence, and in return
our lives are transformed and enrich
