WHAT WOULD YOU DO
IF YOU WERE GOD?'
Bishop Cook Defines Mans
Longing to Change Things at
Lenten Meeting.

What would YOU do IL Won were
God?" was the startling question which
Bishop Philip Cook asked hts CON
grega ton at st. Andrews Church this
noon. He took his subject from the
Psalm, "Ye are Gods and all Of you
are children Of the Most High"
Bishop Cook said that men think
of God In the terms Of magnifled hui
man attributes, In spite of the efforts
OF the diests to teach that God Is
eternal power working with etonal
matter. Christs conception of God
as father brings Him closer to hui
man needs.
bishop Cook declared that mon often
consider what they would do IN Gods
place. as when useful citizen dice
men wonder why some worthless man
might not rather have been taken.
lilo outlined tho various ways in
which men think they would rebuild
the world it they were God. There is
