ttantly manufac

themselves, and
these are at nu
merous at thote
of Egypt tn the
dayt of the Pha
raohs. In tue text
there it the call of
God to give atten
tion to hlmeelf
"Be still, and know that I am God."
God is Intensely interested tnat man
should recognize him, not only because
man would thus greatly bless himself.
but God demands this recognition De
cause he is sensitive to the apprecia
tion of those whom he has created to
his own likeness and Image. We must
maintain this, notwithstanding the spe
cious plea that it would be Ignoble to
God to demand tuch recognition.
Thle matter can only be eettiea oy
an appeal to authority, and multitudes
believe that the Bible la tucn aumor
Ity. In Exodut 34: 14, we read: "Thou,
thalt worship no other God, tor th
Lord whose name is jealous, is a jeal
ous God." Joshua called the attention
of Israel to the same characteristic to
God when he wished Israel to return to
God, to the enjoyment of their divtoa
heritage:
In the text God does not ask man to
know him; he simply aaks that we rec
ognize him as God, and appeals in tne
8th and 9th verses of this chapter
for the use ot the physical senses:
"Come, behold the works of the Lord,
what desolation he has wrought to
the earth; he maketh wars to cease
unto the end of the earth, he break
eth the bow and cutteth the spear In
sunder; he burneth the chariot In the
Are." Our attention is also called to
what we have heard with our ears, and
our fathers have told us what he has
done in the time of old. Were not
God's dealings with the Egyptians to
orove that he was God! Was not God
back of the blessing of Is
rael' by Balaam, while Balaam's
purpose was to curse! Has God
not set up one ana put aowu
another! Has he hot despoiled tne ae- ,
vices of the crafty that their hands
cannot perform their enterprise, and
has he not taken the wise in tneir
own craftiness, and is not the counsel
Of the froward carried headlongt And
what shall be said of the occurrence
of modern history! Had God ' any
thing to do with the earthquake to
San Francisco; the burning of the Gen
eral Schofleld, and the sinking ot the .
Titanic! Of the latter event It la
said that to the last moments of that
fated vessel's remaining afloat all
classea ot people prayed, and the band
played until the very end, "Nearer, My
God, to Thee." And what was this ,
but recognition of God, ana possioiy
with many, too late!
To say that God has nothing to do
with these things on the ground of
that It would be violence to the reign
of law, dishonoring to him as an to
finite being, and entirely relieve man
of moral responsibility, is really not
worthy of serious consideration. The
consciousness of God's immanence to
all such things would be a deterrent
from sin on the 'part ot tome; and
would be an Incentive to good on the .
part of others. ,
How are men to know God! Simply
by being still. By searching, men can-
not find out God. As David would He
in the fields at night and look up into
the starry heavens, it would not be
for the purpose of finding out God,
but as he gazed he could not help
but exclaim: "When I consider the
heavens, the work ot thy fingers,' the ,
moon and the stars, which thou hast
created, what is man that thou art
mindful of him, or the son ot man that
thou visltest him!" As Moses would
have Israel to recognize God, ha said:
"Stand still, and see the salvation ot
God." At Isaiah would have Israel .
see wherein their strength lay, he said
they should sit still. . So the method
ot knowing God Is to just keep the
eyes and eara open, to stop, look, listens-God
is here, there, everywhere.
The results ot this will be a mora
serious consideration ot one's obliga '
tlon to God. The life ot the Christian
will be made richer, and as the dark
ness ot the t hereafter is approached.
there will be a preparation to meet
God, with whom, whether he will or ,
will not man has much to do. To
know God, and him whom he has sent
Is everlasting life.

It is the highest wisdom to avail
ourselves of every help to right 11 v

able to the Bible; there are number
less books and tracts on ethics, on th
conduct of life, on holy living and holy
dying. But the Bible is the light from
which all these are lighted, and they
