The sixty-first. chapter of Isaiah. verses one tc three: "The spirit of the Lord God is upon me: because the Lord hath snnointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenheartcd, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening oi the prison to them that are bound; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes. the oil of joy for mourning. the garment oi praise for the spirit of heaviness: that they might be called trees of righteousness. the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified." "The spirit. of the Inrd God is upon me. because He hath annoint- cd me"- we have not any doubt at all as to whom these words re- ferred, because our Lord Jesus Christ when He began His minis- try. and went as his custom was to the synagogue in Nazareth on the sabbath day and took part in the service, they handed Him the book of the scripture lI-ie was to be the render of the scripture for that day) and the passage that He opened and read was that very passage I read to you this morning, and He said day is this scrip- tulc fulfilled in your ears" so that we have no doubt at all left us that this passage referred to our Lozd Jcsus Christ. In this passage we have pointed out for us the two-fold work oi Jesus—“The spirit of the Lord God ls upon me" What for? “To bind up the broken-hearted. to proclaim lib- erty fo-the captives, to proclaim the acceptable year oi the 10rd. There is his first. _work ."To proclaim the acceptable year oi the Lord; to proclaim the day of vengeance of our God." 'I'hc:-e are two greatplans. or two great parts of God's plan- that are being worked out at the moment. -one is nailed the “day oi grace" and we get this brought out. very clearly for us in Si. Luke's gospel when we see what. Jesus did: He began to read. "The spirit of the Lord God is upon me . . . to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of venge- ance of our God; to comfort. all that mourn." but this is what Jesus did-He read this far. "to proclaim the acceptable year oi the Lord" and than we are told He closed the book and handed it back to the minister. He read the first half; the second part. that speaks of the day of vengeance He left out. Why? For s very simple reason -when Jesus came the first time, the spirit of the Lord was upon Him to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and that. ls exactly what He did, “Come unto Me all that. travail and are heavy laden and I will refresh you." That i5 the purpose of His first coming -to proclaim the grace oi God; to proclaim the fact that: the door into the King- dom of God was open, and that whosoever will may come. ‘Ihat. is Why Jesus had to make sure that that door would be kept open, and that nobody would be turned away. The second half of the verse wag omitted because the second half is not. to be fulfilled until He comes again. It appears that so few Christian people have hold of the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back to this earth. and that He will be on this earth just as literally as you are-He will walk the streets as He did i900 year; ago-you will be able to see Him, talk with Him,- touch Him; sup with Him-He will be here in very truth. What is He coming for? "'I‘he spirit oi the 10rd God is upon me because He hath annotated me to proclaim the vengeance o: our God." The next time He comes He. will read the second part of that verse, “because He hath annotated me to proclaim the day of venge- ance of our God.” God is a God of mercy. He is s God oi love-but don't forget also that He is a God of holiness, a God 0f righteousness, and a God of jus- tice. And if He is a holy God, he cannot turn s. blind eye to sin; if He l! I fishteous God. surely the day is coming when He will right the wrongs that have been in the world ever since the days oi Adam 8nd Eve; if He is a just God, surely the day is coming when He will deal out justice upon the peo- ple who have been trampling upon and 11111508 His people right and left. 811d 890111118 God's beautiful . There must. be a day of vengeance if God is a holy, righteous and just. God. And as Jesus came 1900 vow also to tell us that He is s. God of mercy and a God oi love. so Jesus is coming back again to tell us the other side of God's char- acter; and when He comes then. He will come to "mete out the wrath oi God”. . ."to mete out the wrath of God"—so many of us have such a lop-sided picture of God that we may think oi Him as s benevolent old man with grey hair, patting everybody on the back. We have accepted the picture of love and mercy to the detriment oi the oth- er part of God's character. But when Jesus comes again He is coming to show us that God is holy, that no sin can exist. in His presence; that God is righteous, and that all evil will be banished; that God is a. God of justice, and all the wrongs done to humanity from time immemonsl will receive a How Are Your Eyes‘?

That answers the queston of so many today, "Why doesn't God de- stroy Hitler and Mussolini and the many people who are in the world today spoiling His creation?" The answer is this ~that Jesus came to proclaim the day of mercy. and this age as long as it lasts will be a day of mercy, a day of lorlgsuf- ferlng Don't think that God has sent. this war as r judgment —l-le is not dealing out judgment today to anybody, not even to Hitler, nor his master the devil —God is not judging people today. We bring evils upon ourselves; we only have a war when we want it; we only have poverty when we want it. Jesus has placed within our grasp today the ends of" our desire, and if we do not take them we can- not say that God is fafing us in Justice. The fault ls our own. 1900 years ago when Jesus came to ea: th, God sent an angelic choir with a messa c, “On earth peace." and what do we do? We take God's pence and we trample it ln the dust, and then we turn around and get down on our knees and ask for peace. This is a day of mercy. and God is not willing that any should per- ish, but. that all should come to the knowledge 0f the truth, and to- day the door is open and anybody who will may enter. But. when Jesus comes again, mat door will be shut. when He comes again, He will come tc conclude the day oi mercy --Hc will come to conclude the day of grace; He will bring the acceptable year of the Lord to an end, and then He will usher in the day of vengeance of our God. Yes, there is coming a day when the door of God's mercy will be closed, the door of God's longsuf- faring will be closed. then the whole world will be faced with the door of judgment. To quote from our Raylr Book, "Too late to cry for mercy when the door is shut." You remember the story of the ten virgins, five were wise and were ready and they went in while the door was open; and aftc: came the five foolish with their cry Open! open to us!" but. the G001‘ was not. opened—aud so we have the two comings of Jesus And that is what our Church asks us to remember toda -the fact that Jesus Christ ma e5 two visits to this cartljl. loop years new He came to begin this day of grace and mercy. and we ask you in the name of Jesus what. did l-iis first coming mean to you -what differ- ence has it made in your life that Jesus did come and open up the door of God's mercy an His love. I would that. 'we could go back 1900 years —I would like to call upon Mary and Martha in the W188i! 0f Bethany and ask them, What did it mean to you that Jesus came and opened the door of God's mercy?‘ What. did it mean? They could not put into words what the coming of Jesus meant to them. I would like to ask the ten lopers who had been shut out. of their homes, “What did Jesus‘ coming mean to you?" I would like to be able to go down into Magdala and call upon her whom we call Mary Magdalene, and of whom we read that Christ cast out seven devils, and ask her What difference has it made to you that. Jesus came in love and mercy?" I should like to hear her answer. Then. havnig visited them, I would like to go around to your homes and ask you what. it means to you that. Jesus came i900 years ago, that Jesus came and opened up the door of grace and mercy and love. The answer to that ques- tian-and this is only an interjec- tlon-the answer to that question today for all Christian peoples can be seen in your celebration of Christmas. When I see how you celebrate Christmas I know then what the first coming of Jesus means to you. I know perfectly well how Mary Magdalene would cele- brntc and I know what. Mary and Martha would do and where they wouid be found on Christmas Day. And what is in your heart. to Jesus will come out when you cele- brabe His birth. But, we must. not only look at the past -we have got: to look ahead. Jesus came once as a little babe in a manger, but in the future Jesus is coming back again for the sec- ond phase of His work, in execute the wrath oi God upon all who have rejected and denied God. It will be a fearful day: the day of God's wrath; the day of God's judgment; the day when God will mete out justice to all those who for so long have been trampling upon God's people; the day when He will establish his holiness upon the face of the whole universe and show that He is a righteous God and that all unrighteollsness will be judged. I am not going to dwell this morning upon that aspect of His work, but I ask you to remember one other phase of the work of Jesus that He will do before He ushers in this day of judgment . . . Jiow will the world know when the day of grace is ended, and the door is shut and the books are being arranged for judgment? If you go back to the Old Testa- ment you will find two very vivid illustrations -y0u remember many years ago that. God came to Noah and told him that the wicked people on the earth were to be punished. but God had no desire that l-lls people should pass through that. judgment, and told him to build an ark and ask those people who believed in Him to enter. For 120 years Noah was building the ark and the people on th cou ide laughed at the ides oi s. day of judgment, and then when the ark was finished those who be- lieved God got into the ark and the door was shut. and then we are told lhs windows of heaven were opened and the wicked perish- ed-but not before the believers in God hnd been gathered into the ark. Abraham had a nephew, Lot, and he went down into Sodom. a very wicked place -so wicked that God decided to destroy it and lent His alflatlncank his ltd II it but befroe the judsment of God could fall upon Sodom, because God had in Sodom s. few peo is who believed in Him. Lot and is family, God wht His angels and told them to take Lot. and his fam- ily to a place of safety, to take them out of Sodom, for He said the venegeancc cannot fall until you reach that place of safety—and they took Lot. and his family m a place of safety, then we are told God rained fire 1.0m heaven upon the people of Sodom. This day of God's vengeance will not. fall upon this garth while God's people are here, so Jesus be- fore He established the day of vengeance will conclude the day of grace by a gathering of God's; peo- pie into a place of safety-—"I go to prqzare a place for you. And I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and le- ceive you unto myself; that where I am there may be also." And so this day will end when the Lord Jesus Christ comes and takes away His people from this earth that is doomed for judgment and place them in a place of safety. and then will fall the wrath of God. There is a. very popular heresy being broadcast at the moment by thinking people, but people who do not take the Bible literally, and the popular heresy ls this. that in the days to came we are going to estab- lish upon this earth a “new world order" wherein dwelleth righteous- ness, where man will treat his bro- ther man with fairness. I say it is a popular heresy, diverting the eyes of man Lam the real truth as re- vealed by Jesus Chrlst. Jesus Him- self gives us a picture of this age, and remember this age began with His crucifixion and will end when He comes again; He said, “And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not. troubled; for all these things must come to pass. but the sud is not yet, For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kindgdom: and the.e sha'l be families. and pestil- ences. and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows." There is a description of this age in which We live. Il; has been so from the day that Jesus uttered it; it. is so today, and it will increase in intensity as the age goes on. You have already witnessed that for yourselves with- in your own lifetime: but He said, "All these things are the beginning _the beginning of sorrows," are travail pains, bi;th pains, out of which there is going to come some- thing entirely new. How ls it going to come? When this goes on in intensity and the cup of wickedness is full, Jesus will come and take away those people who believe in Him. and then He will come back to visit the wrath of God upon all dis- believers, And the wicked being punished, He will set up His King- dom and He will rule in righteous- ness from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same Yes, the mgssage of the church toda is this. Jesus is coming! First; He s coming to conclude the day oi grace a d to take away into the place He as prepared all those people who believe in Him, and then after doing that, Jesus ls go- 111g to execute the wrath of God uP°h all unbelievers of God and His son; and there can be no new world order until that; has been done. Jesus is going to execute the wrath of God upon the sinful and wicked, and having done that. He is going to establish the Kingdom of God, where "they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears intc pruninghooka: nation shall not lift up sword a- galnst nation, neither shall they learn war any more." There is a. message to the world, and our great message is this- this day of grace is closing, is com- ing to an end: and after this day of grace is a day of judgment. The world is waiting toda ior that word of salvation, tat Only in Jesus Christ is the place of saf- ety. only in Him is the place of hope, and only in His return ls there power to estabdsh upon this earth that new world order we all desire so much. "Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus."

Major Robert Shankland, his attestation papers for German Early in October, 1917, the Can- adian Corps returned to the Ypres salient. of bitter memories. in a last effort to force ire enemy from Passchendacle Ridge before the winter shut. down to halt aggres- sion untll another spring. Ever since the Third Battle of Yyres and opened on July 31st. British, Australian and New Zealand divi- sions had fought doggedly forward under atrocious conditions. but the high ground around Passchcn- daele village still hcld out to hood British eyes from the green, un- srelled fields of the German back- country to the eastward. By the time the Canadians reached the scene, the battlefield had become a hideous quagmire. The offensive had opened after the longest bombardment-J dlays of counter-battery fire and 16 of in- tense shelling-ever carried out in British pro-battle preparations. Throughout August and September it. had been attack on attack with brief lulls between, to consolidate, to bring up fresh troops, to draz the guns forward through the mud. That prolonged barraging had blocked the ancient dykes and drainage system of the reclaimed Flemish marshland, and unprece- dented rains had then transformed the battle scene into an all but trnckless and impassable morass Tb reach any objective over that abomination of desolation. or to carry out mere duty alone, required a tremendous effort. To reach the heights of valor and resolute fight- ing spirit. such as ‘hat displayed by Robert Shnnkland of the 43rd Canadian Battalion on October 26th. demanded something new and great in sustained courage and in- spired leadership. Lieutenant shanklanlfs historic exploit which won him the Victoria. Cross took place close to the village of St. Julien, a name that already resounded in Ctlilpdlflii ears with tragic memories and glorious light- ing traditions. It was nearby that the 1st Canadian Division had made its gallant stand in April, i915. Every cross-road, valley, wood and ridge-top. was already immort- alized by Canadian heroism. Cont shankland had already won the Distinguished Conduct Medal in the neighborhood and now added a memorable feat to the hlstorv of Cpnadlans at Yprcs and of the Canadian Corps. His first citation (for the D. C. M.) read: "For conspicuous gallan; try in volunteering to lead a party of stretcher-bearers under very heavy shell-fire and bringing in some wounded and partially buried men. His courage and devotion were most marked." It was for splendid work during the fighting at Sanctuary ‘Wood in June. 1916. He was commissioned later that year, on the Somme. and his second honor citation. that for the Victoria Cross. was for extreme gallantry in i917 in the role of company cur-i- mander with the Oamerons. The 48rd Battalion started mov- ing into the front-line during the early night of October 25th. reliev- ing d-weary New Zealanders whose attacks in the sector had finally bogged down in front of Bellevue Spur. a bravely manned and strongly fortified position pro- tecting Passchendaele Ridge.

There was no attack in the later stages» of the Third Battle of Ynres which could be termed Ehyiitlng but. slow and grimly methodical. Doggcd determination alone could bring success. The attack oi the 43rd Battalion was no different. Mud hamperod the Camcrons’ mflvemcnls. and was an immense advantage to the defense in itself. Concrete gun emplacements and pill-bones. sited on the high ground ahead, poured in a galling fire. But they pressed On until al- most. all their officers were out of it. killed and wounded. and until there was grave danger that the as- sault. would bog down for lack of direction and leadership. It. was then lltat Lieut. Shank- land rose to the emergency and disclosed his great personal courage and fine qualities of fighting leadership. Seeing the attacking line scattered and in danger of los- ing its sense of purpose. he instantly took command.
