' Script:.23:37 "O. Jerusalem,
. 'Jeil`ipsalem, thou that killeth the
prophets, and stoneth them that
are 'sent unto thee; how . oft
•: 4would I have ,gathered 'thy
.,vhitdren . together, ,even as a hen
gathereth her chickens under her
• Wings but ye would not." In a
day when the church • is
' repeatedly held, up -to public
criticism, it might be timely to
remind both parties that, from
the beginning, God has had His
way 'of doing things, and man;
his, "For as the heavens are
higher than the earth, so are my
.ways higher than your ways, and
.• my thoughts than your
thoughts." Ise. 55:9. Our Lord
made it crystal clear,that he
,didn't come to this earth to get
His marching orders, he brought
them with him. "Lo,.I come to,
do . Thy will 0 God. Heb. 10:9
"Thy will be done in earth as it
is in heaven." Matt. 6:10.
Unlike the penitent thief on
the cross, his contemporary was
. totally, ignorant, and
unconcerned about the person
on the middle cross, beyond the
remote chance that some power
might be invested in him,
whereby he might have his
immediate . cir`cumstances
improved, without the slightest
. i n tenik—, d ne. o
the malefactors .railed on him
saying, if thou • be -the Christ save
thyself, and us. Luke, 23.39.
They are not a few to -day, who
like- the , little boy , sliding
helplessly 'down the slippery
roof, prayed -the Lord to save
him; but after being stopped. by
- a mail caught -in his trousers;
c -said, I°11 be alright, Iv won't need
you- now.
It's not strange that a world in
,trouble should suddenly become
. church conscious; for one day at
Gaperpaum, our Lord was
suddenly hemmed in by a
hungery multitude. "Jesus
answered - thelia saying, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, ye seek
.me, not because ye • saw the
miracles, but because ye did„eat
of the loaves, and were filled.”
John 6:26. Jesus realised, all he
,had to do, was cater to their
temporal desires, and they'd
crown him their king, but harp
on SRiritual. issues, and, they'd
• crown him with thorns.
The taunts, and reproaches of
Our day has frustrated, and
bewildered many young church
leaders; and unlike the wise old
Apostle, who said it is not
reason that we should leave the
Word of God, and serve. tables.
Acts 6:2. have rose up, and led
out, giving .priority to the .•
Temporal, and physical issues of
three score years, and ten Ps. 90:
10, eclipsing the issues of
spiritualregeneration,
indispensable to a future "world
without end." Eph. 3:21.
.It is still the first duty of the
clergy to preach the Gospel -of
faith "Once delivered unto the
r. �,s�vnis�',J.urle- 3...It..has ;newer

-And in response,, it is the duty of
a distressed, and troubled world,
'k to "seek first the, kingdom of
God, and his righteousness, and
