ID THE EXPANSIVENESS
AND GRANDEUR OF
OUR UNIVERSE

Modern astronomy has come
to amaze US with the vastness
of our universe the endless
ness of space and time and
matter the ponderous mater
1aliSrn of planets and worlds
and suns and consultations and
systems and nebulae and milky
ways and galaxies. AS one moves
out into the eternity of space
moves out into that black
bosom Of eternal somethingness
In nothingness, ones spirit be-
comes stunned, and ones mind
collapses. A recent look through
a telescope left me gaping :
and saying to myself: This
universe is too vast for me; it
is imposstblel And to think
OF a God comparable to it,
and also transcending It'll" My,
our God is a great God.
The microscope also reveals
a world of wonderment in its
exquisite perfection of details
Under its powerful lens the
wing of a butterfly, or the an
tennae of a bug would astound
us beyond expression. One Won
ders which is more amazing :
the enormous starry heavens
which we can see with the
naked eye, or the matchless
perfection of Gods handwork
tr miniature which the naked
eye cannot see. From bigness to
the minute, our God is a great
God.
II worshipping in this unique
Cathedral does no more than
enlarge our conception of the
temple Of the most high, and
give US some idea of the great
ness Of God, it will have done
wonders for the emancipation
Of the mind Of some of our wor-
shippers from the characteris-
tic narrowness of our religious
thinking, and the petty, child
ish, behavior of many of us
In our human relationships. The
Sloans are here rendering a
great service to humanity, not
only in making us church and
worship conscious, but also in
widening the average worship
per's conception Of God.

Jesus who revealed him, nobody
was too far gone to restore;
no one too corrupt to reclaim;
no one too debased to redeem;
no human interiors before him.
no one outside the pale. His
soul went out to one and all.
In his thinking and fellowship
and service, and in his out
reaches of love, there was ne
ither Jew nor gentle, Barbar-
ian, Scythian bond nor free.
All we're precious in his sight
and in the sight of his father,
our great God.
Finally, ours is q great God
in his availability. The eternal
spirit is not only out there in
the boundlesS celestial spaces,
but also here where we are. In
HIM we live ana move ana nave
our being. His grace is ever
ready and his power forever
available.
i dare say, writes one E. L.
House" that the remorse- bur-
dened drinking struggling with
his appetite is more concerned
as to whether there is an avail
able power for his immediate
deliVerance, than he is with the
question as to what God is
likely to do with him in some
other world. No doubt, the sick
man is glad to know that he
will not be eternally damned.
but he will hail as a prophet.
the man who will assure him
that there is an available sa-
ylour herel The poor failing.
despairing sinner needs not so
much God who will care for
him in some paradise to come, |
as a father who does care for
him now in this present world"
Our great God is available |
to the least of us : to the most
humble of us to all of us
Let us learn how TO cast our
cares upon him how to Law
our burdens down how to
appropriate his power. We have !
seen many youngsters on their
bicycles struggling up a Hill, al
most exhausted and about to
stop, when they would reach
out and take hold of some pass

TEXT OF REV. LAVISCOUNT

Continued From Page One
who sit in that church and gaze
Sunday after Sunday at that
wonderful Nebula, must, no
doubt, get as l did, a sense of
awe a sense of the vastness
of the stella universe; and GER
tairlly the idea of a great crea-
tor who must be not only equal,
but also superior to the immen-
sity Of space, and the limitless,
glorious, splurgings of matter
which that painting obviously
eRdeavors to portray.
Now, we have something of
an analogy here as we sit in
this church of the open this
Cathedral of the Pines whose
dome is the eternal heavens,
and whose atmospheric walls
reach out into endlessness.
Here We are gazing upward
and forward and backward into
the houndless blue; the white
clouds racing by over a sunlit
landscape; the lofty hills about
us and the verdant meadows
stretching out before US. Here
we have the real thing
painting by nature. And we
who worship here doubtless
experience similar feeling of
awe as we are led to think,
first, Of the beauty of our earth;
second, of the expansiveneSs
and grandeur of our universe;
and third, of the greatness and
wonderment of our God.
Assembled on this vantage
point, and overwhelmed by our
environment. we may well cry
out with the PsaImist and all
his spiritual descendants: Our
God is a great God"
ID THE BEAUTY OF
OUR EARTH
Our World is indeed beautiful.
] saw some of its beauty just
now coming up here. Recently
] took a trip by automobile
from Boston to Nova Scotia, and
from Nova Scotia to California. |
I saw something of the beauty
and grandeur of Canada and
the United States. haven't
Travelled very extensively in
other parts of the worla, but
] can imagine its beauty. I have
seen some Of it from the air.
Last Christmas from an air
plane, 10000 feet above the
ocean, / beheld a sunrise over
the Caribbean Islands. It was
a sight I shall never forget. This
is indeed a great and grand
earth; and man cooperating
with God could make it still
more beautiful. As one looks
out upon its beauty, one is in
clined to say with Heber.
Every prospect pleases; only
man Is vile" 1t will be a shame
and an eternal loss to atomize
this beautiful creation with
our bombs in our eager strivings
for power and pelf, and in our
consuming hates and lusts. May
God spare us such a catastro-
phy.
