Nationalism In The Bible Has .Gear Word For Today Sl o7 ? f Pr ® viden c<! In The Making [ M mbi.T ,8r u e ' ! {eplete With Modem Spirits "" Hard T ' mcS Build Hardy I — <

B WILLIAM T. ELLIS Our own day's problem written in heiroglyphics is thia timely Leason. Or it might be cited as the Egyptian version of the world's present paramount issue. For it' tells how the Hebrew nation was created, qualified and united. As a side-light on present day persecutions of the Jews it has deep significance. Perhaps most important of all, it sheds light upon our generation hotly debated problem of nationalism. The Lesson is the first in a three months' series upon the general theme, “God in the making of a nation.’’ Our modern mood amongst “intellectuals'' is to disparage nationalism and to exalt “international- | ism." By “internationalism’’ they 'do not mean merely good will a- [ inong nations, or that fine spirit ( of althruism which has given us I Christian missions. They seek a 1 worlu state, such as the Commun- . ists envisage. In this pursuit they i feel called upon to belittle, it not[ I to condemn, national loyalty. Blun- 1 . tly put, this means that they con- | sider wrong what their own coun- ' try has done or is doing; and performs. By some curious brain [quirk, many "interationallsts" and > pacifists, often criticise their own nation to the point of disloyalty. The Bible's Nationalism Whereas, the Bible is a long reI cord of nationalism. Jehovah electled to reveal Himself through a Chosen People, and He made that people His peculiar care. The Prophets and the Psalms abound in passage showing that God deals with all nations at nations. And Jesus, the patriot, is pictured, in a mowing scene, as weeping over the capital of His nation. Paul the apostle to the Gentiles, nevertheless was a passionate Jewish patriot, and professed himself willing to be accursed, if only Israel might be saved. Today we have the great story of the strange Providence that welded the children of Abraham in- , to a cohesive self-conscious people, in fulfillment of the repeated promise to the patriarchs. In the long years needed for the growth of the Hebrew people, God sheltered ; them in Goshen, Egypt, under favoring circumstances. As they multiplied. and became numerically ready for nationhood, he permitted [hardship to come upon them; for ; hard experiences make hardy souls No nation can be established or maintained by “softies.’’ Pioneers know how to endure, as well as to do. Luxury enervates, and poverty disciplines. It was a fiery furnace in which the Hebrew spirit was tempered. God was welding them, that He might wield them. It is in the school of suffering that life’s greatest lessons are to be learned. The sense of solidarity which the Hebrews acquired in Egypt and in the wilderness has never been lost. A Nation In The Furnace With nations as with single lives, discipline is necessary for dis cipleship. The United States and Canada both came to their presi ent greatness through stress and suffering. In the presence of this story of Israel's ordeal, we may well ask whether our present troubles are not the School master’s rod, to teach us obedience? Are these North American nations being taught, in a hard school, what is required of a people whose God is the Lord? We may be in Egypt or the wilderness now; but Canaan lies ahead- So many sincere patriots are praying and yearning for a newer, fairer life, with liberty and social justice for all, that their desires caifhot go unfilled. Nobody need be utterly discouraged by the strikes and unrest and crimes that darken our day. They may be but an Egyptian stimulus to make us resolute and ready for a Land of Promise. The Children of Israel would never have occupied Canaan, except for the Egyptian ordeal. This world, despite all its wanderings and wickedness has not slipped out of the hand ot God.

J — —. , 'tecting and guiding Providence Is I I still justified. God may chasten : His children, but He is still their Father. The Psalms and the Prophets abound in allusions to the < wise and loving care of God, as expressed in the bitter experiences of Egypt and Sinai. A Lincoln Letter God knows and God cares: that anchor holds in all of life’s storms. "Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face.” “The sentences in the book of God's providence are sometimes long, and you must read a great way before you understand their' meaning.” wrote old Matthew Henry. Abraham Lincoln wrote, in a dark day of his Country's experience: “If it were not for my firm I belief in an overruling Providence, I it would be difficult for me, in the midst of such complications of ass ' airs, to keep my reason in its seat. I But I am confident that the Almighty has His plans and will work them out, and whether we see it or not, they will be the wisest and the best for us." With the wisdom of the backward look, we may see now how God's providence worked out for Israel. The Hebrews undergoing the trials did not see this. They cried and groaned and prayed. “And their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. And God heard their groaning. The prayers of the poor have straight access to God's ear. And the prayers of patriots will not go unheeded by Him who “setteth the solitary in families," and works His will through nations. Religion And Patriotism In calculated timeliness, this Lesson strikes both the United-Stat es and Canada upon a great national anniversary, when feelings of patriotism are especiaaly stirred. It should plough the deeps of loyalty, for it recalls the singular i hand of God in our own history. Nobody can turn, even lightly, the pages of the annals of these two neighbor nations, dwelling together iff notable fraternity, without perceiving the strong sense of Divine care and leading which has animated the people. As Edith Cavell, that fine patriot, said, when facing a firing squad "Patriotism, giving it power and significance, must reside a reverent recognition of the supreme will of God, and His designs for a natLa. The dreams and devotion of our founding fathers may be fulfilled only as their children remain loyal to their God.
