Sir Harold Butler in Foreign Affairs
The most significant change is the
revival of Western Europe's will to

and energy. For that the Marshall
Plan must be regarded as mainly
responsible. 1t was not, howeved,
the offer of further American aid
which revived the dropping spirits
OF the Europeans. They had no reas-

billions of dollars could be more
than temporary palliative. What

GOSPEL TALKS
by Rev. r. G. Valentine
HIDING THE WORD OF GOD

HIDING THE WORD OF GOD
''Thy word have / hid in mine
heart that I might not sin against
thee" - Psalm 1911.
Someone once wrote in the flyleaf
of Bible, This book will keep you
from sin, and sin will keep you from
/ this book" Sin and the Bible just
do not 60 together. When one is
in the heart there will not be room
for the other.
Long ago the Psalmist saw the
value of the Word of God in the
heart. He knew that there was power
in the Word that helped him to
overcome sin. David wrote of the
righteous that, "the law of his God
is in his heart; none of his steps
shall slide" - Psalm 1881. The best
precaution against wandering from
God is to guard the heart against
sin by the Word.
Gods Word is precious treasure
to be guarded and hidden safely
away. The best place to hide it is
in the heart. The Bible on the shelf
will not mean much to you unless
it is known and priced and its truths
laid up in the heart. If the Word is
in the book only, it will be missed
when you have the most need for
it. But if it is laid up in the heart,
no enemy will be able to take it
from you.
That Word teaches us the way of
salvation through faith in the Saw
ior. 1t teaches the wrath of God up
on sin. 1t assures of forgiveness of
sins through Christ. 1t promises a
life hereafter of blessedness for be-
levers 1t speaks peace and comfort,
Joy and strength to those in need.
1t is a rich treasure to be hidden in
the heart.
Why fill the heart with the trash
of suggestive literature? The best
book in the world if hidden in the
best place, the heart, will have the
best results and keep you from sin.
Let us use the Word more and more
holiness of life will be ours.

A QUEEN WHO HELPED
HER PEOPLE

HER PEOPLE
uAMAN, who was next to the king
L in authority, discovering that
Mordecai was Jew and was not
worshipping as Haman had COM
manded, caused a decree to be is
sued which would put to death all
the Jews in the kingdom. Mordecai,
learning of this decree, sent word
secretly to Esther, urging her to in
tercede on behalf of her people to
the king.
Here is the heart of the story.
Space does not permit a detailed
recital II is sufficient to say that
Esther, though still in her early
twenties, managed this delicate sit
uation with such skill that the gal
lows which Haman had built for
Mordecai turned out to be the instru-
ment Of death for Haman and his
sons. Instead OF the Jews being
slaughtered, those who had planned
the death Of all the Jews lay dead.
ESTHER RISKED ALL AND
WON ALL
IF EVER there was a perfect il
lustration Of stalking ones all on
one great moment, Esther provides
such illustration. "Who knoweth
whether thou art not come to the
kingdom for such time as this?"
said Mordecai as he bolstered her
nerve.
It is such q challenge as young
people may be facing today. OF
viously, the moment now confront
ing US calls for great faith and great
sacrifice if this world Is to be saved
from utter destruction. II may be
that this situation calls for hitherto
unknown tactics. And let us pray
God there Is somewhere an Esther.
THE MESSAGE OF ESTHER
w HIGH leads me to suggest that
w racial hatred was never more
bitter than at this moment. Unless
! the winds Of God blow, unless some
mighty manifestation Of divine inter-
vention is granted, the world will
break up on the rocks of prejudice
and selfishness and ambition and all
the forms and fashions of sin.
"God moves in mysterious way,
his wonders to perform" Let us
pray that we may early witness
some mighty stroke of his mercy
and deliverance, ere the night let
down.

of this great story. It requires bu,
few minutes, and every reader
will be richly rewarded. l have a
lawyer friend, prodigious reader,
who tells me that once each month,
for the past so years, he has read
the Book of Esther.
A QUEEN WHO WAS BRAVE
nANIEL, we agreed, was a brave
II person; but not more brave
than Esther. There is a verse in
Hebrews 1876 that serves admirably
to interpret this first stage of
Esther's manifest courage, 1.-THE
Lord is my helper"
We 60 to the palace in Shushan,
where reigned Ahasuerus. His king
dom stretched from India even unto
Ethiopia. His queen, Vashti, refused
to come before him when he had
made feast. AS a result of this
refusal, the king ordered young
maidens brought before him that he
might chose a new queen. There
was in the court Jew, Mordecai,
who had been brought there from
Jerusalem. He had in his care the
daughter of his uncle, a beautiful
maiden, named Esther. Mordecai
saw here great opportunity and
he brought her before the king. She
was chosen. This brief sketch ac-
counts for her position.
