ests. Christians are the Noahs OF
today. Like him, they should do
something about 1t.
Prophets Of Gloom.
Many sensational persons. some
Of them with eminent standing as
scholars. have been saying that the
present war will result In an ex-
tinction of civilization. They see
a war-impoverished world sinking
back into barbarism. Their pes
simism overlooks the covenant OF
God with Noah, And the saving
presence Of q multitude beyond
number whose one master purpose
Is to do the will OF God.
It may well be that this war will
be won on the prayer front. I write
q daily wartime prayer for my pa
pers, In the conviction that by help
ing the country to pray you are
helping the soldiers to fight. All
sense Of justice, all love of liberty,
all passion for right, all yearnings
after brotherhood are derived from
God. Every increase of God-con-
sciousness is contribution to this
latest, intensest struggle for a more
godly life for the world. And we
have a sure promise that Christ is
our Ark OF Safety in all storms.
The Jeering Neighbors.
When Noah, as directed by God.
began to build his big boat on dry
land, of course the neighbors jeered
and laughed. This, they said, was
the supreme folly OF the queer"
fellow who refused to 60 along with
the worlds ways Of self-indulgence.
For long while the laugh was on
their side. But the day came when
the laughter TUNED to screams and
the scorn to supplication. In the
grip of the flood, amidst the deep
darkness, they perceived, too late,
that Noah was right and that sin
was wrong.
What Is faith in its essence but
the assurance that Gods word is
true. despite all appearances to the
contrary? That is conviction
that is stronger than the verdict OF
the senses Noah's neighbors seemed
to have q good case; all the tangible
evidence was on their side. He had
only his faith to sustain him. So he
held on to God In faith, and God
vindicated him.
After 40 days of water-covered
earth the ark landed. Humanity
was to have . fresh start. The COW
enant was made with God that there
would never again be . Wholesale
destruction Of the race.
The landing was on Ararat, q
17,000-fo mountain. perpetually
snow-covered. In sight Of which ]
have dwelt for many days. It Il
part OF the Caucasus, the rugged
ancient region that the Axis now
seeks to conquer. Moffatt translates
"Ararat" as Armenia. and thu
Armenians call themselves the peo-
pie Of Ararat." The steeples Of theil
churches and the cowls Of their
monks are always shaped like
Ararat's peaks. Most Of the Ar
nlenians Of the world now dwell
within sight Of their holy mountain,
In the republic OF Erivan, In the
Union Of Socialist Soviet Republics.
The men are In the Russian Army
lighting for another deliverance Of
the world.
