and for Him all things were Gre
ated; and that all things were Gre
ated by Him, that in all things He
might have the pre-eminence."

1t would be interesting If we
called the roll today and showed
now in all the past God used even
wicked men. Concerning Paraoh's |
oppression of the children of Israel,
Paul said:

Pharaoh, Even for this same pur-
pose have l raised thee up, that l
night show my power in thee and
