TORONTO BISHOP
PREACHED HERE........ ■- -
Rt. Rev. A. R. Beverly, D.D.. Suff-
ragon Bishop of the Diocese of Tor
onto, was the special speaker at the
Empire Day of Prayer Service in St.
Paul’s Church. Speakipg of the pres
ent war, he said “There is no possible
understanding of the present conflict
unless we take the longest view pos
sible. The story of the world is a
very long tale.
Because righteousness is an attrib
ute of God we can humbly renew our
confidence in the cause for which we
fight. Freedom of man is part of the
Divine purpose.
When we pray we must be honest.
■Therefore we must repent. God is the
Moral Governor of the Universe. If
such a course as we people of west
ern civilization generally have follow
ed of late had brought peace and
righteousness we ought to well doubt
the Moral Government of World. Our
sins have had a part in heaping up
our dreadful harvest to-day*
God is the Great Friend who walks
through human life sharing every sor
row, and danger. He walks through
bitter danger and apparent defeat to
gloirous victory, There is only one
way through this trouble and danger
— the way# of repenlence, and faith
and* obedience.
It is the blood of our British fore
fathers that is stirring within us in
this time of danger. It 4s the forti
tude which has been laid deep in the
•foundations of the Cross, the valour
of soul which is born of Christ, the
will of man which has been conse
crated to the will of God,
