Patterson, D.D., P~esident of Acadia University oo- Cllllled the pulpit yesterday morn- 1118- Taking as his text tne ques- tions established in the forty sec- ond psalm, "My tears have been my meat day and night , . , , where is thy God" and “mine en- emies reproach rrie while they say daily unto me where is thy God?" Dr. Patterson took as his theme "God And The War." It is difficult to describe the author's situation. It ivas a time of depression, of sad memories, of tears, of questionings within, o1 cynical accusations from without, a stuggle to maintain the realities of rellgon. 1t is a position that we can understand. From the speak- er's own eveninL congregation in a Westcri. Church in I914 enlist- ment took 250 men. Half of these neve; returned, of the half who re- turned many had suffered grievous- iy in body and mind. If the pre- sent war continues we shall again watch wit. hopes and fears the casualty lists, Can we reconcile these problems with conviction of the love and justice and mercy of God 'I‘herc is I2.) easy answer that can be put in a capsule and svrallnvcd off-hand. The final word cannot be spoken. Let us remember that. there is probably no more suffering now titan before the war so .'..r as the total of suff- ering is concerned. What we really have to do is to see the problem in any suffering. The problem is the same though we see it more cleariy in its magnitude and nearness. To us it was for example easier to conceive of the relation of God ti, the universe as we saw it two or three generations ago than it is in the immensity that modern astronomy has brought before us. Inunediately we posit a world. we posit one in which eveil is poss- ible. There is no goodness except by free choice of one who could have chosen otherwise, no good- ness without the background of evil. Granted one seed of freedom of choice we have the possibility of Jesus. Socrates. St. Francis of Assisi as against the possibility of a Nero, a Hitler or a Stalin. and the world's gallery of international gangsters. The problem of reconciling suff- ering with God's goodness is more shaply recognized by those who haw not suffered. There was no question of the goodness oi’ God in the mind of Jesus as he said "Fa- ther forgive them" or in St. Stephen as he died lrl the same spirit It is suffering that gives life its quality and power, the ex- perience of the God who is loving and powerful Power is not Just the ability to do all things. In all reverence God cannot do anything that is inconsistent with His character. The need of the hour is that the Church should be true ic it- self. It is difficult t0 judge under stress of’ great emotion. It is diffi- cult to be calm. objective. main- taining loyalty to the great Clrrls- tian virtues. Crises such as this do not make weakness. they reveal it. It is ours to preserve our loy- alties to the spirit and person and teaching of our Lord Jesus.
