rorA~ Godg 1t would seem unne-
lievable. did we not know ourselves
We need this warning as badly as
Israel Shout stirring Beware"
from coast to coast as this lesson is
taught, for America is forgetting
God. Space does not permit re-
view of the appalling facts here, but
they are enough to make ones heart
sick with sorrow and fear for the
future of our nation.
II, Lest Thou Say My
Power" (vv, l2-lO
How trenchant and altogether fit
ting are the words Of Scripture.
Nothing could describe our times
more succinctly and accurately
than v. II. Men are glorying in
their ability to do things. Science
has made mighty strides forward.
Industry has brought forth so many
striking developments that a single
company is able to present as re-
Election of its own work a veritable
House Of Magic"
We honor those who by skillful
hand and brilliant brain produce ex-
cellent and thrilling results. But our
question is. How many are there
who say, God has done this thing.
He gave the strength and the skill.
His is the honor?" Some there are
who thus recognize him, but they
are few indeed. Their name is le-
gion who say in their heart, MY
power and the might Of mine hand
hath gotten me this wealth" ". I'D.
God, forgive US, cleanse us. and
give US grace to walk humbly before
Thee!
III. Remember the Lord He
.. Giveth Thee Power" ". 49,.
Joseph Parker points out that
deep conviction of the fact stated in
". Is would turn human history in
to a sacrament" He says, What
a blow this text strikes at one Of
the most popular and mischievous
faIlacieS in common life-namely,
that man is the maker Of his own
money!" He makes stirring plea
(see Peoples Bible. Vol w. p. 1889
for bringing God, who has been
crushed like a rose leaf in the
Bible" out into the market place,
into the office and the warehouse,
for if man will make his ware
house into church" he viii never
turn the church into a warehouse.
Would that we could once and for
all do away with all Sunday re-
igion," and bring the gospel Of
grace and the laws Of God into the
office, the factory, the school, and
the home, for every day and every
incident and transaction of life.
Nv. eff Thou Forget >. Ye
Shall Perish" wv. 10, 20).
Reading this passage in the light
Of cur knowledge Of what did hap
pen to Israel, we agree that the
warning was needed, even though
it was not needed. Shall we then
dismiss the matter with perhaps an
expression of regret that they so
disobeyed God and missed his bless
ing? II we do we miss the most
important point in our lesson. for
the fact is that our nation is just
as dependent on God. and in just as
much danger of forgetting him and
perishing.
God punished even his chosen
people in the day that they forgot
him. Let not America think that
she will escape if she goes on her
way, forgetting God. We plead
again, as we did last Sunday, for
deep going revival among Gods
people, and a renewed zeal for the
salvation Of lost men and women.
Thus we pray, God save America.

On Giving Aims

In giving of thy aims, inquire not
so much into the person, as his
necessity God looks not so much
upon the merits of him that re-
quires, as into the manner of him
that relieves; If the man deserve
not, thou hast given it to humanity.
