The postmaster and. his assistants of-

And, for the benefit of the ungrateful,
let us remand them that it, is not nec-

JAMES ST. CONGRk �,`ATIoN
Rev. Q. J. Wilson, 13; A., Pastor
Out thought shell; dwell on some, les-
sens taught us by war end disease. For
text ,book at Job, °;23-3, "Oh, that I
knew where I might find God". One
of the
greatest est dosda ones
of
t
ho e
four y eprs is the discovery of God.
There was un the ,land 'of Ur a man
called Job; a man honest and upright
in all leis dealings with men, and a man
of great wet,Jth, Ana it fell on a cer-
tain day when. Satan was going, to and
fro that God said to Satan, "Hast
thou considered and measured the
strength of .the character of this man
Job?" and Satan said, "Yes, and if
you touch his property or his child-
ren he will refuse to respond and if
you interfere with his, property he
well ,curse thee to thy face," And
God eaid, "Satan, he is is thy hands,
only quench not out has life,"
Now, Job was honest and upright
with men, but he ,did not know God.
Ile believed 5n Him as Creator, as Al-
nsighty, Infinite and. Eternal Judge.
But one day—one awful day—war ;felL
The Sebeans came down and killedhia
servants and took away his flocks and
herds. Calamity came and his child-
ren were killed, disease laid Job low.
Comforters came andflwent, but out
of war and disease Job found God
as be *never knew Gal before.
And one day—a day in August, 1914
—Satan was going to and fro on the
earth. And God said, "Satan, . :hast
thou considered the Christian Church,
an institution of many years, of state
ly •edifices,- of many . members, of
great wealth." And satan said "yes
reel if Thou callest ,for it sons and
daughter. far life service and _for its
wealth for saving the heathen, it will
tell Thee "Charity begins at home and
refuse thy request, and if thou inter-.
ferest with its Formality* and '.'skin'
a surrenaer as stewards of God of its
whole life an:J powers, it will curse
Thee to Thy face." Arad God, said,
"Satan ;he church is in thy hand, iornly
spare its life." Anal the church lad
not fount. and known. God. It ,tad come distrustful distrustful of the aid table
terms Got. Jehovah, and had substi-
tute,' for God' the terms "Infinite,"
"Absolute," 'Sternal. Energy,' `Vital
Urger' Theoretically the church bc-
leive,. r God as every where, h
practically it scarcely recognizal 11,
anywhere. God was lost in the in
mecnsity ref Ha t•niverse. But one a
—ane aware day in 1914—the sun see
ed auddenly to darken, and' the moo
turned into blood, and the stars t
fall (from Heaven, and civilizatio
threatened to turn into chaos, and tl
big guns belched, and the thunderbolts
of war smashed to splinters houses
and cities, then all this scholarly flum-
nrery about a "Vaal Urge" and an, "In-
finite Energy" and ell this network
of scientific liege about God was for-
gotten and people began to speak in
bible teems. Every person used the
word God. The world wanted to
know God. The old world seemed to
have taken a 'sudden icy chill and
humanity wanaed to cuddle near a
heart that was warm, The world was
swept by.a temepest of hate and hu-
mans every where grew ltunagrier than
ever before for Love, We had believ-
ed in God, so had the Mohammedans.
The butchers who had piled high the
Armenian. 'dead said prayers before and
after their horrid work. They had
their God, but a God only of Power;
and •of the Iron Grip and the despot
rule. But when ith�e anti is filled with
sobs and the earth • runs red with blood
the lr•eart cries ,out for Love., The
oilier wounded and deserted in "Na
Ian's Land" tcried tout for "One that
icketb closer than -a brother."
The first thing the war did was to
sh us int a deepex way of thinking
God. It gave scholars an intellect -
a1 jolt; it awoke thought of God that
l been relegated tot the attic; it rol-
1 the world back through Cheist to

esh meaning into the words,. " Oh,
