Church and Home
Defenders of Faith.
BY REV. M. MIKKELSEN

In the light of what actually hap
pens from day to day it is not always
easy to believe that the love of
God is the controlling factor in every
thing that takes place.
This is time of deep sorrow as
well as of intense struggle and Sc
we're suffering for many peop e
throughout the world. Will the ma
tons of the world and more specifi-
cally their leaders ever wake up to
realize, we wonder, that the cruelty
they inflict upon one another is de-
stroying their faith in Gods love?
Will they ever see that the present
struggle for supremacy in which now
nearly half the world is engaged leads
to utter destruction of the finest
human ideals? If this deadly struggle
is continued our present social struc-
ture is doomed. Or is there in spite
of that a way by which it can be
saved?
There are those who look hope
fully to the church and believe that
that has word to say that will
eventually turn the tide and make
people sit up and think. have lot
of faith in the church,; more in the
church itself than in its methods;
believe that much noble service and
self-denying sacrifice shall be exacted
of its constituency. But the church,
like you and 1, is sometimes worldly
minded, and may in times of peril
be tempted to seek escape from its
exactors. We know it should be
different, and we expect it to be.
It must, if it is to save the world
out of its present muddle, at least be
what we expect it to be; it must be
in a position to feel the pain of every
wound inflicted upon humanity as
being inflicted upon itself. 1t must
be like mother who suffers with
and for her children. 1t must be
able to link itself very definitely
with something deep and fine in the
human heart.
l have a profound faith in mother
hood. For there are mothers in
whose presence it is absurd to ques-
ton the love of God. One writer
has stated as his opinion that in
motherhood we have the nearest ap-
proach in human terms of the perfect
and transcending ideal of the love
of God" In times of great struggles
it was not so much the men in the
battle lines as it was the untiring
strength and love of motherhood that
preserved the high ideals and won
the victory. So strong is our faith
in the mothers of nations that even
the church, VIII e n imperiled and
threatened with extinction, may look
hopefully to them for they, rather
than the high priests, possess the
power that can save it.
Today there are millions who pray
in vain for their daily bread. II
they are willing to suffer it is be-
cause of their faith in Gods indy
ing love, and because they have seer
that love in a mothers heart, seer
it at work and felt it daily through
her tireless effort
