There is reason to believe that the church aud the Christian world betook themselves to prayer for world peace immediately, without waiting for official smmons, or for the formal anthoriza- tion of particular prayers. In many churches such prayers were certainly offered on the last t«vo Sundays. Were they answered? Certainly peace did not follow. No one can say what was their actual spiritual or energizing value. But we did right to offer them, and we do right to continue to offer them. God hears the ciy of His people, and He blesses them in the midst of the tribulations which come upon them through the wrath of man, and which even the power of Omnipotence cannot avert without reducing man to the level of a machine. He succors in suffering and death; not from suffering or death. The sparrow falls not to the ground without His knowing, and eveiy whit of human suffering which follows in the wake of war, is known to Him. His bendiction and the peace that passeth understanding are given through it all. And the hand of God is also upon the nations, and there is a, limit— though only He [knows what it is—to their power to direct their own future/ God reigns over all. Our present knowledge is not such that we can trace His movements nor tell where is the limit to the power of man, whether for good or for evil. Where knowledge ends, faith takes its place. God reigns. His will will ultimately prevail, r—The Living Church. Jury List. List of Jurors drawn for October Term Superior Court *vhich convenes on October 12th, 1914. FIRST WEEK. H. C.
