B.ckrr...* ••rtptar.i Ena 1: S:M4S: Isaiah *4:2l—*S:lX D.v.U.aal Bcadiagt Psalm IM God In History Lessen for August 2*, 195 S WHAT Is it that makes the world move? — the world of men. of events, th* wide world of history? What is the most powerful factor in historyt Some say geography, some say climate (which is still geography), some

say great men, some say ideas, some rfhy the progress of inventions. The religious answer is strikingly different from all these: it is GOD. The reason why historians seldom mention God (even

when they believe Dr. Foreman hi him) is that they limit themselves to what can b* seen and heard. True, sometimes historians are concerned with thoughts, as for instance, what were Stalin and. Roosevelt and Churchill thinking of at Yalta? But thoughts are facts that scientists all admit; while God is not the kind of fact with which science can deal So “historical science” as it is called confines itself deliberately to the kind of fact that science describes. Now God—let it be repeated—is not in that class of things at all. He is not a thing, he is not in a class. He works in history, but not in the way a man works, still less like a force such as that of wind or rainfall or volcanic eruptions. God can be seen, but only with “eyes of faith.” He can be known, but by no means as simply as your cat be known. God works in history, not separately from events and men, but in men and forces. As Paul says, God is over all. through all and in aIL King’s Intention According to the Bible, God can work in and by mean of the acts of men who do not know him at all. There is a mystery here which no writer in the Bible undertakes to explain, a mystery which perhaps no human mind is capable of understanding. But the fact is believed by men of faith. Take tor instance the famous king Cyrus, known to history outside the Bible as well as inside it. He was one of the great conquerors and administrators of all time. At a peak of his career he made himself master of what had been the Babylonian Empire. He knew that many a temple had been plundered and destroyed by the Babylonian kings, and he knew that the many displaced persons from all the conquered cities where those temples had been, would be ‘grateful for the restoration of those temples. So King Cyrus, in order to make himself “solid” and popular with this mass of subject peoples, adopted the policy of returning the “gods” of those peoples and authorizing the restoraI tion of their temple worship. It used to be thought that Cyrus was a worshipper of the Jews’ God, but archaeologists have discovered the original edict or announcement of Cyrus, explaining what he was doing, and asking that all these gods whose worship he was restoring, would pray to Marduk, whom Cyrus regarded as the king over all the gods, on Cyrus’ behalf. Isaiah says plainly that Cyrus did not know the true God, —but God knew him, and wrought out his purposes through him. ignorant of God though he was. People’* Devotion The Bible shows also that God works through the devotion and service of men who do know him. We may doubt whether the proclamation of a Cyrus would have done any good if there had not been men who were eager and ready for just such a chance to return to Jerusalem and restore the worship of the true God. We have had in American history one of the many other illustrations of this same point in the freeing of the slaves. The emancipation proclamation of 1863 was not mad* altogether from charitable toofives. There was a strong politicalmilitary purpose in it; the immediate object of the proclamation was not to free the slaves everywhere, but to win the war and restore the union. Later, when slavery was abolished by the Constitution. th* freeing of the slaves would have don* mor* harm than good if it had not been for the devotion of men and women of both races who made it their lifework to educate and uplift those who wer* like sheep without a shepherd. God does work in history; but he needs the service of those who understand his ways and work with him, Success lies in finding what you can do best, and then sticking to it. H* who stands high in his own estimation is still a long way from the top.

God Wants Us In Church Rev. J. R. Meadows God wants His children to assemble in His house to praise and magnify His most holy name. God wants His children to keep in close touch with Him. He has ordained His church for this purpose. In His house the heavenly Father meets and greets and blesses His blood-bought children. Certainly, “we Will not forsake the assembling of ourselves together in God's house, as the manner of some is." We know that you have sorrows and burdens. We also know that your sorrows and burdens will become lighter if you will take advantage of 'the blessing of God's house. The Gospel of Jesus Christ has that wonderful power to heal your broken hearts, to change your sorrows into Joy and your weeping into laughter. Why not take advantage of this power of God unto salvation? Jesus says, "Come.” See to it that He need not look in vain for you.
