Lifting Life’s Level By Views Os Nature And God In Perplexing and Ominous Tinies, Men Take Refuge in the Great Verities -When Everything Human Changes, Nature Remains and God Is Still True.

SO often the refuge and dellghl of nature lovers, is th* assigned Nun day Bchool beeaon for today Its opening lines are ainmig the most familiar In literature; •Th* beavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament abowetb His handiwork It aolnewhat rebukes our pride In our modern literature* that this lofty poem was written in the longago. far-off days of huiuau history I’oete are plentiful nowadays, but none of them baa matched this Im mortal utterance. Indeed, we are cou*irained to contrast the trivial themes of our petty modern vara* with the sublime simplicity of lb* I'aalms and ibelr ma)esti. treatment of God nature aad man. No wonder these ancient poems are th* dally comfort of millloas of devout men and women. A Refuge* for These Days In a period of panic , such as the present, when the whole world is WOT- begone, it makes lor sUeagth and serenity to view afresh the dauntless proceeaae of nature. A tew days ago. stunned by the radio's reports from Europe I sal working In tnmt of the fireplace lu our Canadian log cabin, subconsciously resentful of unseasonable weather My writing would not "march." I was in no mood to counsel my fellow men No I laid aside pea and paper aad went out onto the rocks, amid the pines where the lake shimmered before me I mused upon the cbaMSlee* march of nature amidst all human vicissitudes. Here were the old. simple thiags that last - the sky the sub. the rocks, the woods snd the waters God has not gone out of busineaa. despite all of man * waywardness, snd folly. In the mood of the Nineteenth Itoalm I returned to my work, with .boulders squared aad spirit uplifted It to good practical advice for all of ua. am id. I three days of . rash tug list tea. and of triumphant pas an Ism .imply tn get out of doors, io be taught by the eternal aimpll cities of nature. Wr are reading too much in the newspapers and magasiaea. and iutenfag too often to the radio Our nerves ar*- )*n< led, our steadiness of soul I. shaken and our faith to clouded Ho let ua get away from people for a time, to be alone with the Eternal aad His handiwork A Bigger Idea es God Lawrence of Arabia told me the story, which bo later publish* <1 aad whi< h has been widely quot*-*l of a conversation that he mice bad •tth an Arab companion, as they rode camel* by nigiit across the desert. The brilliant stars prompt ed him to inform bls untutored companion of the dtlcoveries of modern aatrouomy. The Arab listened with attention until Uwreuce was through. Thea h* replied. in simple confidence. “Yea It I* true The foreigner looks through bls wonder-glasses and beholds millions of stars Anri (bat to ail.

All the world la searching tor Had Life's level Is Iwlng lifted People now scorn the petty, distorted themes and pursuits thst recently . cugagr-d them. Linking Law and Life ( After his sublime tribute to nature. the Psalmist turn* to that other great wonder, the Law of i God. He Huke the two aa eternal i verllle* The Creator ha* not left . Ilia plans tor man to be discovered by the instrumi*iil* of modern science. They are revealed In the . inspired word. He has laid down i a moral laws as sure and as et*r nal as the laws which keep the . universe whirling The philosopher Kant, once wrote: 'Two things are . aweinspiring the stsrry hesveus i above, ami the moral law within.” i "God to our refuge and strength." I declared the Psalmist. He is ultimate defense and succor. During the dark day* of the- war President . Lincoln once said, “I have often | bean driven to my knees, by the consciousness that 1 had nowhere ‘ else to go." The whole Hritiwh Empire la sharing that mood today. ’ Laat evening I attended an Anglican Church service, on our first Holiday of this Nummc-r m Canada. I noticed a great chaage in the preacher, and In the whole aer- . vice. The spiritual not*- was d«*<-p i and reel. One could fairly feel the eager, anslosa. espectanl depinidence of the worshippers upon the i God who alone can save the ua- , tlon In thia dire crisis. For twenty years past the world has neglected and disobeyed God s dear law. Our sliming Is now having woeful c<m*<-*|ueiicea And we I are learning to say with the Psalm lai The law of the bird la per1 feet, converting the soul: the teatli mony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple Th** statutes of the Lord are right, lejolciag Hie heart: the commandment of the* L>rd is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the l/»rd la dean, enduring forever: the- judgments of the I-ord are true and righteous altogether More to be desired are - they than gold. yea. than much i fin gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb Moreover, by . them Is Thy servant warned: and keeping of them there to great reward.” That law will yet be the salvai tlon of an imperilled world.
