Thursday September
The Day of
(By Rev. G. L Kerr, A R Prcsbyirian pastor)
Some months Hgo the world was 'onjiing Tor the cessation of ho:
tihties on the battle fields of Euro )e. There was a feelin;! thut nil
would be well if only the wap wot Id cease. An end came to active
warfare but still we sail upon tem pestuous seas. To thinking people
there is iitt'e cause for wonder at the ceafsless waves. Upon the
crest of every wave might be writ ten the word "selfishness". A rip
ple started in the mind of a manii e.il momirch and from thence it
spread to the furthest reaches of ; he empire. The very forces tint
sought to stem the tide were inf ted. While between these waves
there were troughs of sacrificial f jrvice yet the same billows of sel
fishness rolled around the tvorld. A'ith aessution of hostilities has
come a change in the manife3tati in of or!d unrest but war has
not changed the heart of the worl d.The waves have become double
crested. Shall we think it aloud? Classes in many of the leading
nations of the world have become arrayed against each other.
Our people were called to unite in prayer that the war might
cease. This suggests not merely tb i way to put an end to a mani
festation of a prevalent spirit but t suggests the remedy for the
trouble itself. Men may make a h indred speeches and write a thous
and books with a return to sanity as the end in view but there is
nothing to compare in wisdom wi h the Book the last page of which
was completed two thousand yea s ago. Anend to the turmoil will
never be made unless settlement made upon the principles enun
ciated by the Teacher of all timei . In tb. s Sermon oa thj M jant we
f. nd" these words; "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that
men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law
and prophets'". Only those who have Icen initiated into the myster
ies of godliness can live according to such a golden rule and, there
fore, the church of Jesus Christ stands today as the only organiza
tion that can minister effectively und effectually to the disordered
peoples of the world. Let low and high, rich and poor, meet together
in the house of God and listen to the voice of Him who amidst
storm-tossed seas gave the comi!ling command: "Peace, be still".
