Men who drenched and did not re-

from the returned cards that the
same men who drenched regularly

BY
Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson.

world" He had penetrated 20 miles
within its boundaries. He had cried
with the courage, born of his past ex-
perience and conviction, the message
that God had given him. From street
to street this first missionary to the
heather world went. His piercing words
stirred the city. His preaching moved
them to repentance. The King recog-
nized the nations sin and called for a
fast and a period of general mourning.
He called for all to repent and put on
sackcloth as an evidence of their re-
pentance. When the time came for the
city to be destroyed, their repentance
saved them. God showed His love and
grace by giving them another oppor-
tunity to serve Him.
JOnah's Displeasure Rebuked.
Jonah expected that he would see the
walls totter and the city fall into ruins.
When it did not fall, he thought that
they would be laughing at him. He was
displeased because God had not de-
stroyed the city exactly as he had pre-
dicted. Jonah was thinking of his dig
nifty as a prophet. He had failed to
grasp the message of Gods grace and
love. In his mental distress and suffer-
ing, he felt that life was not worth liv-
ing, when the gourd that had protected
him from the sun was withered by the
mondays rays.
The whitening of the gourd was Gods
way of teaching the prophet that He
was displeased with his apparent dis
approval of the divine mercy that
Jehovah had extended 10 Nineveh, when
the city showed the evidence of repent
ance. Gods love extended across the
boundaries Of nations and He showed
His grace to Nineveh. The, prophet was
displeased at the whitening of gourd,
but he desired that the whole city
should be destroyed. In the Lords re-
buke of narrowness Of the prophet, we
can see how at times He may desire 10
rebuke us for our failure to grasp His
love for all nations and His desire that
all people should be saved.
We are being weighed in the scales OF
divine justice by our attitude toward
all nations. If we are narrow and
selfish, then we have not learned the
spirit of the Gospel proclaimed in the
Book Of Jonah and in the New Tesla
ment. Our father calls us to enter
intellectually into the efforts to fill
the nations of the world with His ideals
and hasten the coming of world
brotherhood that will make wars i'm
possible among men and nations. The
Gospel of the Lord Jesus contains the
one message that can save the world
and transform the spirit of prejudice,
that brings on war and strife among
nations. Let us major on foreign mis-
sions. help fill the world with the spirit
OF brotherhood and of love for all man
kind. We all have a contribution TO
make to the welfare of humanity that
will destroy narrow patriotism and de-
velop a spirit of brotherhood, based
upon the teaching of the Lord Jesus.
Let us be true to Him and His cause.

DISCUSSED BY

the process of divine Justice. But as a
matter of knowledge God judges us and
we judge ourselves moment by moment
conscience itself accusing or sustaining
us in our daily behavior.
Hence there is nothing to prevent the
belief that saints are already resident
in Heaven. If they are, do you not
suppose they are deeply interested in
their friends left on earth? I address
my personal applications directly to
God in the name of Christ. But / see
no reason why we may not commune
with our departed ones, and no reason
why they may not pray for us. No
saints in Heaven now2 Where do you
think st. Paul, ST. John, st. Peter and
all the illustrious band of the faithful
and the good are located?
@. Why does the church insist on re-
ligious forms and ceremonials? Is il
not enough to make religion ones per-
sonal matter?
A. A religion without external au-
thority is at the mercy of every one S
whims and fancies. Hence, any faith
which grips the human heart and CO.
ordinates souls in common experience
and aim must be based on the acknowl-
edgment of a controlling power. Chris
tians and Jews unite to define that
power as the transcendent God, who
governs all that is for its ultimate good,
and manifests Himself to His children
in terms they can apprehend. Chris
tians further believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Eternal Word of God the
Father.
How does this faith work? It main
tains standardized living, prevents social
chaos, and submits our perversities and
plumbers to a judgment surprising hui
man wisdom. On the other hand, purely
individualistic religion breeds license
and Reorganization. We do not sin
primarily against ourselves or our fell
lows but against God When He is
obliterated from the realm of our
thought and action, every one Is left
to do what seems right in his own eyes.
The state would not contenance for a
moment such looseneSs with respect to
its laws. Neither can the church.
Her forms and ceremonies are intend
ed to emphasize the cardinal vetity that
man can no more save himself than the
state can breed the morality necessary
for its protection. In so far as those
forms and ceremonies fulfill this func-
ton they are to be observed by reverent
and believing people.
