THE finest sermon I ever heard
1 ended and the benediction came
straight from the heart Of the
broad-shouldered figure in the pull
pit. The stirring voice of the big
organ filled the church and the con
gregation began to leave.
Harry Thatcher and I were sur
rounded by sober, thoughtful people
as we went to the car. He drove
out toward the lake.
''Don," Thatcher said abruptly aft.
er he got a cigar started. We were
entering the lake drive. There are
three million, five hundred and
sixty-thousand, four hundred and
eighty letters in the Bible"
''I suppose So" I almost dropped
my cigarette. His talking about the
Book took me by surprise. His in
terest was financial news, exclusive
ly.
''There are seven hundred and
seventy-three thousand, seven
hundred and fOrty-six words in Its
thirty-One thousand, one hundred
and seventy-three verses"
''Sure." I looked at him, wonder
ing.
His gray eyes were half closed,
his broad face grave. One could
see why he was called Bulldog
Thatcher. He had reputation OF
going after business, wherever it
was, and getting it.
Shortly after the war ended, a
young man named Phillip Crasor
came into my club one evening.
Thatcher settled himself more COM
fortably in the broad front seat OF
the car, one big hand on the wheel
rim. ''He had been a pilot. I don't
know how many missions, but
enough. Star end at the university
before that. All around athlete. He
had been mentioned as possible
Olympic chance. Folks had a lit
tie money"
The car rolled with almost no
noise. 1 said nothing. This wasn't
the Harry Thatcher I'd known. I'd
dropped in on him last night since
I was in town for few days, and
he'd insisted upon my going to
church with him this morning.
Thatcher was not a church man, so
far as I knew. waited. p,.l
"Phillip had got some cockeyed
ideas in the army" Thatcher went
on. "Some radical talk. He started
gripping about youngsters in the army
getting killed while the big-income
businessmen stayed home safe. My
income runs up little" He couldn't
conceal note of pride. ''He looked
at me when he said it and I thought
he was making it personal. told
him big-income men were worth
what they got and he said they
were a lot of stuffed fools. l got
sore. l told him he couldn't handle
a $4,000 job for a month, much
less year"
Thatcher coughed a little. apol-
ogetically.
II was a captain in the first
world war. Infantry. Shrapnel." "
His hand moved to his right side.
''They wouldn't take me the last
time
He Strengthened. Breeze from the
lake swept our smoke from the car.
"Phillip Crasor said he had $1,000
that said he could handle any $50,
900 job for IL months. Inherited
the money from an aunt, believe.
Anyway, he said for me to put up
or shut up. The fellows in the club
laughed, and I-well, I lost my tenn
per. called him at ten to one,
betting $4,000 against his five that
he couldn't handle the JOB. I was
to name the job. It wasn't to be
impossible, or require technical skill
neither of us had. It was foolish,
but neither of US would back down.
1t was a bet and couldn't call it
off. Betting is strictly business with
me. If win collect, and if l
lose pay off. Strictly business.

GODS LOVE AND CARE


A LII through these chapters In
n Sundays lesson, two solemn
truths appear-God's love for his
people, manifest in unwearied\care;
and the responsibility Of each soul
for the sin which such commits
against God.
This truth, or these truths, /
should say, are equally applicable
for US today. AS Ezekiel was sent
to remind the people of Gods love
and care, so must we, early in
our youth, accept the responsible
ity of accepting his love or re-
jecting his love.
We cannot claim his care If we
despise his will. That is the message
Of Ezekiel for us.
WHAT GOD IS LIKE
NOWHERE in the Old Testa-
~ ment is the love of God more
manifest and compelling than In
Ezekiel 34:11-27. I hope that you
will open your Bible to this passage.
Here the Bible speaks in words that
burn with the compassionate love Of
God for sinful souls.
81 will both search my sheep,
and seek them out. AS shepherd
seeketh out his flock in the day
that he is among his sheep that
are scattered; so will seek out
my sheep, and 1 will deliver them
out of all places where they have
been scattered in the cloudy and
dark day And i will bring
them to their own land, and feed
them upon the mountains of Israel
by the rivers"
One is reminded here Of Jesus,
when he said, For the Son Of man
is come to seek and to save that
which was lost"
A NEW HEART
s a new heart also viii I give
"A you, and a new spirit will ]
put within you," Ezekiel. 1925.
Here we have, perhaps, the sub
Imest sentence in the prophecy Of
Ezekiel. God is speaking. Ezekiel Is
merely the messenger - the voice,
as John the Baptist delighted to de-
scribe himself.
Ezekiel has faithfully declared
that each individual is responsible
unto God, and just as faitl fully
he has proclaimed Gods love and
care, and now he adds the third
great truth, namely, that God
waits to bestOw the new heart and
the new spirit to every repentant
soul. .s
A new heart and a new spirit.
That is what the Jews needed. That
is what the world needs today-a
new heart and a new spirit. Only
God could give new heart then,
and only God can make such gift
today.
EZEKIEL'S MESSAGE FOR US
VXTOULD we listen to Ezekiel to-
w day? He has the message we
need above all other words that may
be spoken. He called the Jews to
repentance of sin. That is what
America needs today. Boys and
girls need it. Men and women need
it. And just as God waited patiently
to bestow the new heart and spirit
to Israel in the long ago, so does he
wait to grant us today a new heart
and new spirit.

Our Hope for years to come;
