"ONLY GOD Is GREAT"
"Judge Of the nations, spare us
yet,
Lest we fOrget-lest we forget"
* inlip O

Christian people are not insen-
sitive to the shadows of war that
are hanging low over the nations
of the world Hearts are filled
with fear lest by vicious intent or
by some inadvertent act we be-
come engaged in nuclear war
whose scope and horror would ex-
coed any ones most sadistic i'm
agination. With the Soviet I'm
ions development Of a superbomb
5000 times the size Of the A-bomb
that destroyed Hiroshima, ard in
the face of such destructive forces,
has the church a message OF hope
1t surely has.
l found this definite hope given
beautiful expression in the re-
cessionai hymn sung at the wor-
ship service | attended last Sun
day morning. Opening with the
lines, This is my Fathers
world" Maltbie Babcock develops
the thought that this beautiful
world of ours comes from Gods
creative hand All the forces with
which he endowed it derive their
powers from Him. While mar may
at times degrade them to cruel
and selfish ends, God does not re-
Y'inquish His control over them
and in His own time will punish
those that misuse such powers
ruthlessly. Here let US pick up
the words of the hymn, the clos
ing lines:
This is my Fathers world,
o let us not forget
That though the wrong seems
oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.
This is my Fathers world;
Why should my heart be sad
The Lord is King, let the heav-
ems ring;
God reigns, let the earth be
glad,"
Returning home from last Sun
days service, and with the words
of the hymn lingering in my mem
DRY, | picked up the current issue
of Time" Before the covers pic

nuclear bomb stands Nikita
Khrushchev Arrogance and pride
are written upon the lines of his

fore me and my power, all we peo-
pies Of the world"
After such moments Of pride,

strutted before their people in
imagined greatness, but where
are they now? Dead-their voices
silenced forever. Neither they nor
Khrushchev are worthy of ac-
claim. Only God is great
Judged purely by human stand
ards there are some elements OF
greatness in the empire that die
tators have created in Russia. BY
the exploitation of smaller ma
tons and by the expenditure OF
ruthless power they have created
dictatorship that has crushed
the freedom of her people and
threatens the security of the
world. They are not the first who
have reached out and achieved
such powers, but kingdoms built
like that never endured very long
Their masters are soon over
thrown. History shows that all
dictators from Alexander and Ma
poleon down to Hitler, Mussolini,
Lenin and Stain pass quickly from
the worlds stage. Khrushchev's
fate will not be different So let
us await Gods time unhurried and
unafraid, saying with Francis
Quarles:
my soul, sit thou a patient look
er-On,
Judge not the play before the
play is done;
Her plot hath many changes, ev-
cry day
Speak new scene: the last act
crowns the play"
When the last act' for this
atheistic Russian Communism will
cOme-well, that is in Gods
hands. He hold the curtain cords,
but of this we may feel sure, that
when finally ''the play is done"
few will call the dictators great.
There is too much blood on their
hands.
Here it is to the point to call to
mind what Robert Ingersoll wrote
about Napoleon. This applies
equally to Stain and Khrushchev.
These are his words: Il thought
of the widows and orphans he had
made-Of the tears that had been
shed for his glory. And l said, 1

peasant and worn wooden shoes.

wife by my side knitting as the
day died out of the sky-with my
children upon my knees and their
arms about mel would rather
have been that man and gone
down to the tongueless silence of
the dreamless dust, than to have
been that imperial impersonation
of force and murder known as
Napoleon. the Great"
No. Napoleon was not great,
nor was Hitler. nor is Khrush-
chev-"only God is great"
