for a man, he seldom does it by himself. He always has asstetAnfr. When God drants to raise a crop of wheat he neve r raises it k a lane. When God Wants to feed A City he seed’s it by the innumerable hands of farmers, merdhahts,

carriers of cargo the world around. When God wants children cured if diptheria he does' S s t>—with the help of thd hbed who discovered artd perfected diphtheria anti-toxin. i Doubtless God could work alone; but just as doybtlOss, he seldom does. Even when God wants to spHt a granite cliff in the wilderness, he does not usd a magic axe; he. uses things we can see: the frost-crystils and the sunshine. God’s Man for God’s Work THIS is also the story the Bible tells. Certturies ago there were some thousands of slaves In Egypt, Hebrew slaves, descended from the free man Abraham. God, we are toM. wanted those slaves set free J How wopld you have expected Gcd to do it? If God is All-powerful, if he can do just anything he wants to do, and her wants these men set free, how will he do it? Will he rpach down a mighty hand and lift, them as you might lift a handful of the smalest ants, and set them down on some bit of free soil far away from Egypt? Wits he send an Achy of angelsi tp batter down''the fprfresscs Os Egypt, destroy h'Cr armed forces artd set his people free? . ; Let us paste no time arguing whether* God cedtd or could hot do such things. Let us assume that he could. The point Is: be did not.; ! called' a, man, a man named Moses. Already Moses had gone through a long life, and perhaps he thought of himself as at the end of his trail. If Moses hAd been' asked, he might ieven have said that all his life's experiences had gone for nothing. But God knew better. God knew that everything that had formed Moses’ mind and character—his family, hig training and education, evCn the long lonely years as scout and sheepherder at the back of beyond,—everything in. his past |ife was to be useful in the most important part of his life that still lay ahead. For God's wotk, Moses was God's man. • • • Moses Has Many Opposite Numbers ] | , JUST as Moses was God’s personal agent iri liberating the slaves from Egypt, so down through the centuries: Moses has had his ’’opposite ; numbers”—men and wpmen who have brought to pass what (religious persons find rCAson to be- ( licve) God intends to brirfg to pass. God wanted the good news about Jesus to be spread throughout the world. But tais lias donie to pass only as Paul and a long line of Missionaries .have gone through one country after another w’itfi the r riess«ige of pod.- God Wanted 1 the |fect rds of Jesus’ life, or at least some facts about Jesus and his teachings, put down in writing and not left to men's memories. 1 EuJ Be dl'd not write the Gospels—he Inspired certain men to write them. God wanted the Christian world, in our time, to i awake to the “open sore Os Africa”, and to send missionaries to that dark continent. But he chose a man,' David Livingstone, to do this for him. I was God’s agent for freeing the slaves of Great Britain, jas Lincodn and marly another were in Amerida. ••• : ' God’s Ways Are Not Always Understood IT is easieF to say these things years or centuries after the event ithan at the time they happen. Moses at first could not bbhe was the man God wanted; tried in fact to talk God out of it. Jeremiah doubted whether he should ever have been a prophet. Lincoln often had rr.oois of the blackest. John Calvin sat up half the eight In a Geneva boarding house giving Pastor Fare! all the gd'oA reasons why he, Calvin. could never be a suitable man for the vdry job In which he became a famous h£i*d.
