was death. 1t was a tragic situation
that she was without any decree of
racial DOOM "Act for your people
for whom God has raised you up as
deliverer," was the substance of
Mordecai's message. To her was to
be given the privilege of dying for
others if she dared the task. She
could refuse. She could build upon
fer position and hope to save herself
or she could give self. She deter
mined that die she might but it would
be in an attempt to save if die she
did. Out of prayer within and prayer
without she dared the caprice of the
king and won. SO God honors the
spirit of service crowned-lov
THE ROAD OF GOD
God works in the affairs of men,
but he does it through human folk.
To each comes the offer of something
he can do and the fateful choice is
left within his power, for this is a
world of freemen, not of slaves. "Put
Me first or put self first" is Gods
grant to every man and the choice
determines the place we take in His
unfolding plan. Judas might have
been as honorable as John. Germany
might have been as glorious as Bel
GUM Arnold might have ranked
with Washington or Burr with Ham
ilton.
In Gods working hate digs its own
grave and rears it's own scaffold, Ha-
man was a good hater and thought he
would wreck his rival. Carefully he
plotted, only to rise upon his own gal
lows through the presence of spirit
ual forces that he ruled out of his ac-
counts altogether. God is not mock
ed; whatsoever a man sOweth that
shall he also reap. They that take
the sword shall also perish by the
sword. Christ is the most loved man
in the world because He loved most.
In Gods working there are no
small things or unrelated trifles. He
is as careful with the curve of dew
drop as with that of the sky; a daisy
and a star have both felt his touch;
miner or a monarch share alike in
His love. 1t was a very small thing
that one crowned head should have a
sleepless night. Yet that wakefulness
turned the tide of history and chang
ed the destiny of a race.
In Gods world there is room for
heroism in every field. Esther found
hers in her own home where many
another has done it: Duty anywhere
holds infinite possibilities within it
Foch did his duty, the commonest
soldier did no more.
