It was only a light fall, however, and the Weather changed over e g1nt akin, to the extent that the trains were block ' ed for two days, The postmaster and. his assistants of- ten get blamed for little things, inane of which are just in the imagination; but they seldom get the credit they shoull for sticking around late at night to distribute the mails. They have had a let of ie this winter, too. And, for the benefit of the ungrateful, let us remand them that it, is not nec- essary that the postmaster or helpers do this work after seven o'clock. Give credit where credist is due. The Advocate is in receipt of three copies of the Smaoter issued by J. M. Smoot & Co. of Buffalo, N.Y,, for advert/sing purposes.

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 o'd.
