SEPTEMBER >7. <925 FACING FACTS I ' ? . Chatty and Childifn. in various section:- of the state com j ??l roifics are holing prayer meetings for relief from the distressing: C drought. Men are looking toward the! h; kills, whence conieth our help. The >a foolish discussion of questions we. | ui know nothing about like the origin of! d. the race are interesting to nobody, w Who cares a fig about evolution when ei the heavens arc brass above us, and ta the grass has withered and even the: m trees arc dying for lack of moisture? ' We tnc passing through a time of testing, and only those who are stand ing on the Itoek are calm and serene, i b Who knows hut that the distressing situation has been sent on us because of our foolishness? This much we p know; if we will learn the lesson of y affliction the drought wili be a blessing. No matter what the wiseacres may say about natural laws, we are utterly dependant upon a higher pow- ? or. Helpless we stand before the Lord and nothing that we can do will -j, brine relief. Scoffers who laugh at calling on the Almighty for rain, must j laugh alone, for nobody listens for a , moment to what they say. We are in T< g no mood for fine spun theories. We are facing dry facts and there is only ^ one to whom we can go. it is a whole c some sign to see people gathering ^ in large numbers to confess their own ^ iropotency, and to put their trust in on-, who is able and ready to help. .> If we only would remember this great lesson and quit trying to solve mysteries beyond our ken. and accept the, Bible as it was given to us, puttingj ^ our trust in God, we wou Id rise ah ove j." our troubles and our hearts would o he at peace.
