wflhis is not merely a nice senti- ment; it is a law of life. The issue before the nations is this: Is love ,0 b, the governing principle oi ‘ii human relationships, or are we to descend to the appetites and in- nlnrts which govern the brutes? International experiments and experiences in the past, and par- mulgrly in our own immediate p351, prove - that no other law iiniwm to men will work; the hu- man spirit will submit to no wverelgnty but ehat of love.

The source of this Christian |itlilld9—i!lld it is the only atti- tude that is really Christlan-ds John’! doctrine, "God is love.” This rncﬂlls that at the heart of all that |;, and at the fount of all that is w be, ls immeasurable goodwill im- n1casilrably active. The aim of love p, lvi-rything God creates is its development to the height of its rgipfrﬁlty} if it has bccn marred or bypkrn the creative energy of the Iililili? nature moves toward its re- rcmtion; and the claim of love [nr iis object is his rise into the yiiost intimate fellowship with God. This means that love is the es- mire of the divine, “not merely an pitribute of God, but His very nat- ire." ' -

o“ "lfklgélfdlb? good/f

Him as love." (Findley).

The most recent book on the first Epistle oi John is by Professor C. H. Dodd and he says that “in speaking of the love of God We are thinking of loving action, definite, concrete, and recognizable on the historical plane." He points out, further, what is implied in the statement, "God is love" over and above what is implied in the state- mentfGod loves". The latter state- ment might stand alongside other statements such as, “God creates," “God rules." "God judges"; that is to say, it means that love is one of His activities. But to say, "God i5 love" irrpiies that all His activity is loving activity. If He creates, He creates in love; ii He rules, He rulcs in love; if He Judges. He judges in love. All that He does is the expression of His nature, which is to love.

The first fact to be noted here is that our knowledge of the love of God comes from Christian exper- ience. Man could never reach that conception in its fulness from "a study of Nature. The man whom Tennyson describes represents a large number of earnest spirits!

“Who tnisted God was love indeed

And love Creations final law—‘ Tho’ Nature, red in tooth and claw

With ravine, shrleked against

his creed."

The love which burst into the soul oi’ Jesus of Nazareth as He came up from the waters oi bap- tism, took command of His entire ministry. He taught the sover- eignty oi love; He lived by the law oi love; He refused to consider any means for the establishment of His Kingdom that was inconsistent with the love which He had found in the heart oi God; He accepted the Cross rather than crush his foes by the powers at His command. This experience of the love oi God is open lo every soul who seeks Him. This ivrlier speaks oi what he knows—when the love of God shines into the soul, it is like the brightness oi the sun, it blinds one to everything else. -lt is the source of all the joy in the Christian life. Look at the outburst of song which follows every genuine revival of re- liglonl Its joy resembles the joy oi the spring-time, when gladness pours from every bough and ﬂoods the morning; it is because love is ﬁr} action and love is leading to

This is the Christian's message to the world today. In the face of all its hatred and strife the mes- sage oi the Gospel is that love ls king. Missionaries are in every land at this moment proclaiming by word and deed God's love for men and God's invitation to every human soul to accept love as his portion. These men penetrate into regions, where hate has always ruled and might was the only right. unarmed, seeking no reward, giving themselves without stint to all who will accept their service in order that men may be awakened to what God is and what God means for them. The South Sea Islands were inhabited by cannib- als less than a century ago, yet when American airmen were forced down on these islands they were given every attention that Chris- tian love could inspire. Christian missions had wrought the change. So it is in every land.

This is the law of life here at home-the only law that will work. We shall follow out a few oi its implications in succeeding studies, and we should like our readers to study carefully the first Epistle of John. But, whether we trace this back to its source or not, this is the Church's message to nations trembling on the verge of deadly strife-turn from violence to love as the only way to life. Our daily papers are carrying editorials on the character and career of Adolf Schweitzer, one of the greatest ministers of love in any age. It is because he has ‘given his life to love and its healing grace that he is moving the world.

CHAPTER XI. DESERT MARCH The three figures, with every pace looking more like absurd mar- ionettes jerked along by invisible wires, grew smaller and lmllier Hubert Manson put his arm round his wife's shoulders. Flesch stooped over his camera. Saunders cleared his throat, and spat emotionally into the sand. And illimitably high overhead, the tiniest of tiny specks against the burning blue or the sky. three vultures soared effort- less on vast leathery creaking

waited. And the swift tropical dusk swallowed alike those who watch- ed. and those who marched.

A 11%“! Journey is very nearly an indescribable thing to those who have never had the experience in their own persons. Most of all it approximates to Arctic or Antarctic travelling. There is the same ut- ter desolation and fricndlessnese of the environment; the same mono- tony of acute. and occasionally viol- ent dlscomiort; the same absence of variety of landscape or land- marks. And gradually only three things emerge into the foreground 0! the Picture; emerge. lose all proportion, swell into hideous car- icatures. Your boots, the water- boitles, and the sun , What Larrimore thought during the first two days of that Journey to El Fayoum, it is impossible to say. Certainly he never spoke of it. He merely led the way. his shoulders a little stripped. his jaw a trifle out-thrust, his length of stride never altering.

During those forty-eight hours. he was so wrapped, up in the practical problem of assuring him- self of the accuracy oi the course, of giving Carol a lead with- out explolting her gallantry in following to breaking-point. that he thought oi nothing but the Job in hand.

Carol. for her part, thought of nothing but Larrimore. She walk- ed steadily at his elbow for mile after mile, hardly speaking, but al- ways ready with the suspiclon of a smile when he needed it. And more than at any time since she had known him, she realized that she loved Larrimore; the hard, sweat-streaked Jaw; the keen peer- ing eyes; the steady piston-like drive of his legs, which drove her forward almost as definitely as it drove him, by sheer magnet-like example; the hair curling a little at the base of his neck; the worn khaki breeches; the open shirt. She felt that, rather than appear in- adequate in the eyes of this man so obviously here in his clement, she could die on her feet without so much as a whimper. .

And though her feet grew sore and swollen, and her eyes raw and gummy, and the straps of her water-bottles cut into her shoul- ders, and her breeches chafed. and a three-hourly mouthful of water seemed no more than a mockery to her dried tongue and dust-parch- ed throat, she marched so well that Isrrimore found her endurance as hard to believe, as he would have ﬂatly disbelieved the truth-that only for love of him could the girl ever have done it.

And Antony Sothern? That fine flower oi elegant civilization was rapidly and frankly in ’a pretty bad way. He was learn- ing, iike other and better men be- fore him, that it is easier to pose as a. man of action than to act; to level a. pistol than to fire it; to talk of a desert march than to carry it out. Sothern was not really in condition. He refused to accept Larrlmoreh parole, and as a con- sequence was not only burdened with his nonnsl share of water and equipment, but also with two pis- tols, and a. bandolier filled with ammunition.

As a matter of course he brought up the rear of the marching party. Completely incapable as he was of appreciating Liarrimoreh strictly realist attitude, Soihern still thought of the situation in terms of "playing at soldiers." That was why he started the march some ten yards behind Carol and Larrimore; why, for the first four or five miles he added vastly to his own discomfort by keeping a hand on the butt of one of his pistols. He persisted in seeing himself. as it were, in tactical control of the situation.

Such an attitude was ‘compara- tively unimportant. Sothern, ef- ter all, was no fool. He was more- iy young and jealous and vain. But when he was forced to realize that that his isolation from the other two was practically unnecemsry. he also realized, with a mixture of horror and despair that even if he would, he could not make their pace. He tolled and swelled in their rear, his walk tending more and more to become a lurch, futile oaths dying in whispers on his cracked lips. and everything in th'e world forgotten but the molten vastness of the sun, the damnable slltherlng sag of the send under

his feet, and his thirst.

To the average European, thirst is just something that makes beer fizzle deliciously in the gullet; 11ml; turns water to Olympian nec- tar; that proves that one's game of golf or tennis was properly hard-fought. Thirst — real thirst that deserves the initial capital letter-is a very different thing. It withers the heart and cracks the tongue. It dries, and bewllders. and ultimately iiorments. It is one

of the first things that civilization has set out to abolish.

Which is why Sothern, an essen- tially civilized man. was in no case to withstand it.

weight oi four heavy water bot- ties thudding against his thighs as he went.

Even when they halted, as they did at regular intervals-Soihern found no relief. Conversation with Larrfinore was impossible. The air- man had simply put Sothern out of his thoughts, except as a handi- capping factor in the enterprise. And Sothern’s own actions had raised an impassable barrier he- tween them. As for Carol, she was

too grimly occupied in what sht had set herself to do to have any words to spare for Sothern. She simply set herself blindly. all-nos! ferociously, to copy Larrimore. When the halts were called she duly sit-allowed her cupfui of warmiish water, flung herself down, forced her limbs to relax, and lay like one dead until the march was re- sumed. She did not dare do other- W158. (To be continued)
