From the
Minister's study
- CAPTAIN RALPH HEWLETT
Salvation Army
- Following a walk in space
Outside a .capsule, one astronaut
answered questions for school
children on his return. One girl
wanted to know if he felt any
closer to- God during the
four -clay orbit. "Not realty," he
said, "But let me tell you there
infinitesimal and insignificant as
to see the earth pass. below you,
so that you can see a continent
at 'a time-. 14rything is so vast
and you are so small." God is
Lord of a vast universe in which
the earth is but a speck of
cosmic dust. The landing on the
moon -and eventrup to it have
stretched our minds.A greater
and more Worthy concept of
God has resulted.
Psalmeight was' ,probably
written, by King David. It- is
probably a record of his
shepherd's days, when under the
midnight sky of Palestine,
brilliant- with stars, he mused on t.
things _ deep and high,, on the
mystery of the universe, and
man's place in it, and his relation.
to the Creator. In verses three
and four of Psalm eight he asked
a question that seems very
modern "When I consider Your
heavens, the work of Your
fingers, the moon and the stars,
which You have, ordained: W hat
is man, that You are mindful of
Him'? and the son of man. that
You visitet (care for) him'?"
Physically man does not
strike a very • imposing figure.
-Compared to the solar system he
is infinitesiinally small. Why
-
should such a great God bother'
with such a trivial thing? Why
should God care for the likes of
us? From the Bible we learn that
brute grandeur is not the
ultimate in terms of measuring
anything. Sometimes we'are all
too impresed by something
broadest. in 'Genesis 1:27 it is
recorded that man was made in
moral and spiritual likeness • to
God. Ile has a soul. This is the
distinguishing feature , of man
from all creation. Without that
characteristic Man would be just
another piece of molded putty.
God is not only great in terms
of brute grandeur but also in
terms of the kind of attitude.
that is His towards man.'This is
far more impressive than the
heartless fact that He is the
ultimate in raw power. Again we
must turn to, the Bible to
discover this amazing truth. -In
John 3:16 we read "For God so
loved the world, that Ile gave
His • only begotten Son, • that
whosoever believeth in Ilim
should not perish, but have
everlasting life." This gives man
his true value: Ile is SO important
Wit [1 God that God sent His Son
to die on' the Cross so that the
evil marring his existence could
be forgiven and cleansed. All
that there remains tor us to do
then IS to repent of the sin that
would rob us of all benefit from
our privileged position. We have
a great God. Let's not undersell.
Him by thinking of His greatness
in physical terms only.

that Kazuko was no longer

Bible -reading. She replied: "I
cannot read much now, for I
am reading to my father in
the hospital. He keeps the
little'book there and says it is
very good." Needless to say..
that night she took a fresh
