God and Nations Lesson for October 16, IM’> WHEN tlie Spanish fleet was about to invade England, back in Queen Elizabeth’s time, nothing the English had could stop them. But when the Annada arrived, that vast fleet had been blown to bits

by a storm, and the English neatly I mopped up what ; was left. How do you account for that? Tl.c English always said God was with them. When the Nazis had overrun E rance in 1940. it ‘ would have been I simple for them to

invade England. There was next to nothing to slop them. But Hiller delayed from summer till fall . . . and by that time the British were able to mount an invincible defence. How do you account for that? Over and over again in history the unexpected, the uncxpectable, the ’'miraculous." has happened. Sime call it chance; but ethers call it God. • • • God l.i History BUT GOD does not always or um’ !y operate in spectacular ways. God works in history as he v. rks in nature, out of sight, visible to the eye of faith but seldom if ever otherwise. History. from the Christian point of v lew. is the work-ing-out of the purposes of God. The pattern is not entirely clear to us, because we cannot see enough of it at once. But looking back through history, we can see signs that God has been there. This Is the message of the prophets of Israel, especially of the great Isaiah. In a troubled era. when everything seemed to be in most complete confusion. Isa.ah gave out some clear and pinin truths from God. and helped men then and now read the pattern of God s design. • • • The Life Os A Nation ONE TRUTH is that justice is a nation’s life and sin is a nation’s death God being the God of justice, his purpose is to set justice in the earth. God plays no favor.tcs among nations. Any nation that lives by God’s laws, lives; th* nation that defies God has signed its own death warrant. There are no peoples who can “get by" with what they please, if what they please is not the will of G d There are people now who do not believe that. They would say. Look at Russia! In Isaiah’s time there were those who would say to Isaiah; You must be wrung look at Assyria! There is a nati n that docs not know God. and yet grows every year stronger and stronger. • • • God’s Ax ISAIAH has a startling answer to that objection. ‘Chap. 10 » Assyria is a tool in God’s hand, no more. He admit< that Assyria has no standard but force, she worships only sheer Power. But there are other nations, w ick< d, ones, which G d intends to punish, one of these is the nation i f Israel. Assyria was destined to destroy Israel un-.e srd for all. and to damage Jud.ih so severely she never would recover. All this, Isaiah says, is In God’s pla.i. God docs net punish an evil nation with legion* of angel*: he punishes it with invasions and dev feats in war. Assyria was an ax in the hand of God. cutting down the . rotting trees ot selfish and unjust naticna Return To God.’ PEOPLE in Isaiah’S time were putting their trust, fust as we do nowadays, in alliances, pacts. interiiatiGnal combinations of all kinds Isaiah warns ominously that this v. |] not do. by ItreU Not that all a! nee* are bad: in chapter 19 he . ally pictures Assyria. Egypt and 1 aid as brothers-in arms. But tee does not hold out any political scheme or rombiaaties as the best hope st a nation. Kctorn to God! is the prophet’s cal. Sa in ear lime, whether II be a general MacArther or a ttecelogiaa Brunner. Many of our ablest rnen are warning us even now. that humanity is feeing an alternative; Either go on the way of selfish-vesa and war down to destruction, or else go back to the Source at justice. truth and love, the God io whom alone is salvation. .Cawmet ■»* im la«*nutior<•!

British Prepare Io I Defend Hong Kong Uncertain Os Attack From Chinese Reds • Hong Kong. Oct. 14—-(I'Pl— The British are going to defend Hong Kong against any assault, ! but they don’t know whether the Chinese communists will attack them or not When Canton falls. 40,000 troops here expect to go on “phase 1”— a semi-akrt or state of readiness with leaves limited to six hours They already have stepped up training and preparatfcmsAll arms are here —grceo-capped commandos, kilted Scottish high landers, wiry little Gurkhas and tank rigimeuts This afternoon, artillerymen w;ere training with 4-inch mobile field guns right in the center ot the city two blocks from the railway station, where four trains daily spewed out fugitives from Canton ail this week Crews said the field pieces have a range of 19,000 yards. That would be plenty to reach from the paved roads around the crown colony deep into the hills on the China side ot the 20-mile land I frontier. A couple of squadrons of spitfires are parked at the airport and an occasional spotter plane is visible on distant patrol. The medium aircraft carrier Triumph is within call and the cruiser Belfast, flagship of this naval station. heads a group of a half dozen destroyers plus smaller units suited to the island-studded estuary of the Pearl river. Antiaircraft guns guard the air port and observatory hill The rest of the military activity is out of sight behind the hills. il»ng Kong itself is as busy as a, small American town on Saturday 1 afternoon It shows no more sign of hysteria than the British house of lords on a dull day. The harbor between the island 1 and Kowloon on the mainland is buzzing with sampans and junks, while the world’s shipping is tied up at docks or unloading freight < onto lighters in mid-harbor. God owns (warehouses) are I stuffed with goods Some, it is I true, are goods destined for the China market which have not been moved either because of communist advances or because of the nationulUt blockade of commußistheld ports. But Hong Kong is prosperous > from its current trade, although it l has lost some of the edge oft its boom. , 5 ££ |

(UPl — The 1 CIO farm equipment workers halted their 23day-old strike at International Harvesters tractor works today because the steel ’ strike makes it "useless.” But although the union voted to end the strike which has idled 1,600 workers at the plant and 14,000 more at other Harvester plants, they set the stage for another walkout. The union claimed that it struck 1 at Harvester because of "economic issues” but the company said the walkout came because the company suspended 23 employes last month tor "inciting a wildcat walkout ” Warren Miller, president ot the striking local 101. said that "fainthearted leadership" ot the striking steelworkers "may Inspire the corporations to promote a long strike in steel.” He the strike was called off so the members could draw unemployment benefits during any shutdown that steel shortage might bring at Harvester, plants f 'We therefore order production ' resumed at the tractor works plant until the steel strike is settled and conditions become more favor- , able for corporationwide action in . Harvester to secure a wage in«J crease, pensions and a welfare plan." Miller said. ’ But in order to take the ne- : cessary steps to secure our ob ' jeettves, your executive board re , quests authority to order a future cessation in production at tractor j works should such action become I necessary," he said. Company spokesmen said liar - tester is "glad to see the strike over- whatever the reason ..." But i hat the suspensions of the 23 etn- ’ ployes "continues to stand " > Trade In a Good Town — Docatur
