Get right with God, \

This was the wet hword of an [JMIQCHSHC campaign carried on in ‘furbntfJ over 4.3 years ago.

h. is of the very esscacc of the gospel that only Bn act of God can ;.ut us in the right before Him, lfan can never do i‘. for himself. Fin is evil directed against Gcd and

my the wronged can forgive the l’! ong-docr. Profeasor Johnstone Ross, who

lav/gilt in the Presbyterian College Montreal for a. short-time once told lhls story. As a student he had been assistant mi lster ill u town an the border between the High- auds and Iowkancls of Scolland n have where the races met and nlngled.

Don't be afraid to invite into your l house that girl friend who has lnarl-ied a htclThflfit ])l'lllt'C. ‘Prue. vou may not be able tn show her Persian rugs, Oriental hzlluzulr-l and what-not; but lf your friendl is the sensible type of person she. -.von't enjoy your company‘ the less‘ b~cause you do not possess thescl things. ‘

313"." she insisted with uplifted flnzers; every Gael knows the d". fercnec between a, dream end a ‘trance. She imagined herself on the. cdlzc of a ilarvest-fleld. Half m" 8min was cut. Before the un- cut grain were l2 reapers, and be- hind them stocd one who was evi- dently thelr leader. “HE HAS COVERED ME"

"I will tell you what He was like.“ she said, and as she told the story l~hc lapsed now into Gaelic and ngdill into English. "His hair was white, and fell down on His shoul- ticrs like a shower of silver. He was tall and ills robe fell from His rhouldera lo lhe ground where it ran uito folds like the lapping of the sea wave as I saw him, I said "This is My saviour!" and mv heart went out to Him. It went, out from me in the fonn of a llttlc child and went over the stubble like the \\'llil‘l‘ of a partridge until u l-rllne lo His feet. l-lc looked dOWu at the Phlid and said, "Thou here! and thou but s little one naked and cold! I will cover thee.’ With that Hr- threw the skirt of His robe over the shivering child. and l awoke l have had my full share of the storm and stress of life since then. but from that moment I have never doubted that He has covered me with the robe of His righteousness,"

Spiritual religion emphasizes individuality. A study of the lives uf the saints shows that the more intimate their communion with their living Lord the more strongly were their personal qualities and gills brought out. some mystics have spoken of being “lost in God" as if the dcstiuv of faith was to he absorbed lllto the divine but. all the processes of grace are in the op- posite direction St. John is as dif- ferent as can be from his close. l'(il'l‘l\i\ill1lll. Si. Pclci" and both are different from Si. Paul. St. Aug- ustine and St. l-‘raucis arc alike in their devoliizl to Christ and depend- cnce on llinl. but are entirely dif- ferent in the expressions of their devotion and in the type of ser- vice given. It. is through that; in whivh each is unique in experience and pers-ollal chamctcrlsiics that. hi". dlstinrtlve CClllflblltlOh is made to ilie world,

STRESS SOCIAL QUALITY

Yet side by side with this divine on individuality there goc’; a parallel emphasis on social

quality. All the Christian graces are social. Lore, lo)‘. peace long- suffering, gentleness. goodness-

all these graces that flourish in lhe Christian society: none of them l-ould lcc exercised in solitude 'I'herc ls no place for the hermit in New ‘lestnawcut religion, My peculial" experiences and powers are given me in order that I may make a. contribution that no other can luake to the siiritual trezs- ures cf my people: on the other halld, 1 rm built up in character and grace b: what they contrlbyie to me. Now it. was the object of Chrlslis lnlssiol, wrought out through His life. death and resur-

rcclioll. to provide reronciliatlon bctwccu lnun llnd God. and through llif‘ union of mall with God to

unite lhcnl with one another. God's first object in this wcrk of l'f‘i‘Olil'lill’lil0ll is our union with lllnsclr, Thr- shepherd's heart is Ilf‘\[‘l‘ at rest. unlll the lost sheep is fuund; the Father's fatherhood is ilu-olnplclc until the lost son comes llf‘llll‘. ll. is possible for us to vrallc npcralinl; ill'il'v'f‘i_\' with us to find lhc Divine Dergner co- upcratlnq actlv 1y with us in per- fectiu: His dr-s ,u in us. It is pos- slhle al u lo have His will rcvclled la ll> stcp by step so that. we may cwoprratc actively with llim. (‘AN REFUSE (TO-OPERATION \ e are frcc beings and it is also blc for us lo refuse that c0- :'. llrre l.» God's word to : "For lllls pulyuse have I d lhce up that l might show my })0\\'K‘l' lll thee and that My ilsmc mlflhi. be declared throughout the earth.“ Pharaoh had the oppor- lzulil," lu co-npcratc. and it would huvl- made him areal; he chose in- lcrrl to defy the (ioi of Israel and 15:. rficcllioll rained him.

This rccmlciliatieil which God provides

| is the World's only hope. You can-

not hale men into life or peace: you can lavc them into both. Commu- nlfln as a sysielu in force tnday is bascd on halc. ll. could not. maln- taiu itself anywhere without- the repression by force of all independ- ent social action. Mr. Vishlnskys tlpccchcs. whenever he speaks for hfosrolv. breathe everything that antligouizcs man against man. But. we l-nnunt win Communists by hat- ing them as they hate lls, nor can we turn people against the hate- ridden lvvstcnl by hate. Love ls the only oilswel" that will command the nltclltion of the world. Only when love brings in a social order more just and merciful than any other can it overcrlre systems that d:- stroy. God reconciles and offers His reconciliation to men now as indi- viduals and as ilntlons. Pray that lhc world may bear and heed.
