1 ' lASIKBikIS ’ SPEAKS! SCROTUM: Gmmls Mi »; 4M7; 50, ■ RKADDQGt Psalm MB: ‘ When Life Gets Hard Lease* tea. OnAehcr 28, INI nW.i iii \ IN an army training center there 4s plenty to gripe about. Time was, when sundown came, every one was est duty. Now night only begins the trouble. Night marching, night "village fighting," night

everything else, in snow and ice and mud all the same, and never with enough sleep. But the army keeps oh rubbing those poor 1 boys’ heads in the dirt. ' Os course the army knows what it is doing. When the boys get through

With camp, most of them will be sent to where some real fighting is going on. The enemy, unfortunately, does not confine his activities to the daytime. He fights at night, in the rain, in «ro weather, even on your birthday. He picks some very rough hills to fight on. In the roark ing confusion of shifting battle lines the soldier does not always get his , chow on time, and the nearest hospital may be too far to reach. He is out where he has to be tough. It Is not only in the army that a toughenlng-up course, Is just what the doctor ordered. In real life it happens over and over again. It is not the boys who had the easiest childhood who rise most often to the top. It is the boys who worked, who had to work somehow for a living, who develop the toughness in mind and muscle to carry them through life’s long struggle. • • • When Life Gets Hard r' is sometimes thought that God should arrange things differently. , What-most of us want (lazy as we arc) is a soft life,' something pleas- , ant, big pay and no work if we can help it. When life is easy for us we think, if we are religiously inclined, that God has blessed us; but if life gets hard, wo think God must have forgotten us. Quite the contrary. There is an almost forgotten . verse in the New Testament: "The Lord disciplines the man he loves, and scourges every son whom be receives." (Heb. 12:6, Moffatt’s translation.) The man, who is undisciplined never grows up, he is a perpetual boy. For the same reasons, no one ever became God’s man except through God’s discipline. - • • • Forge For A Sword \ •pHIS is as true of nations as of * individuals. The story of the Hebrews in Egypt Is one case in point, they had it hard, about as bard as any people who ever lived. They became, slaves, and remained Slaves fpr hundreds of years. \ Humanly speaking, God’s total plan would not bave succeeded unless the Hebrews had gone through that "furnace of affliction." If Jacob and his family had stayed on in Palestine, there never would have been any Hebrew nation any more than there was an Ishmaelite nation. \ Somewhere, some time, those Israelites had to be forged into tempered steel, a sword for God. And the slavery in Egypt was the first stage of the forgtng. It was a bard life; ao doubt many died under the lash. But ths hardy ones lived. If Moses, when the time came, had had to take out into the wilderness A cafhvan of luxury-loving Egyptians, they would have wilted on his hands. It was because the Hebrews had lived hard in the slave-pens of Goshen that they could . live bard in the wilderness when they were free. • • • Life Gees On is not tho whole story, of course. Life, evert the hardest kind Os life, is not merely u preparation for battles to come. It can be worth living for its own sake. . The trainee may find friends and 'happiness even in a very tough camp. ■ And down in Egipt, in ail the year* of Hebrew hardship, life i went on. People fell in love and were married, children were born, were brought up somehow, were Uught the difference between right land wrong, were taught about the true God. i - People nowadays are some- ! times jittery about the prospect Os "life as we know it’’ beiag destroyed. Well, maybe it will be; who can deny that we have - It coming to us? ’ . But Ute wIU not be destroyed. Under the harshest of circumstances. Ute will go on. and those \ who will accept life’s troubles as ihe send- ' ing of God will find a blessing even in what at the’moment hurts tho most. • Christian Education.

THE REFORMATIOM _J~I October 31 hps come to be retarded I ■ as the birthday of the Protestant Reformation. It was on that day. In 1517, that Martin Luther nailed hie 95 sentences on the doer of the Castle Church j In Wittenberg. ' What was Martin Luther’s great ■ discovery? It was the cardinal doctrine J of the Bible: “Therefore we conclude that a man is. justified BY FAITH without the deeds of the law.” —Romans 3: 28. For hundreds of years, the established church had taught that man was saved by faith PLUS DEEDS. Luther discovered that the Bible taught salvation alone by faith. "By grace are ye saved through faith; and that nc-t of yourselves; it Is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians-2: 8. Also Romans 11: 6. If was the Reformation of Martin Luther that once more brought this fundamental Bible doctrine into the light of day. Protestant Amercia will have fallen on evil days, when once it surrenders one jot of this primary doctrine of tbe Christian faith.
