"Fifty million Frenchmen can’t be wrong." ‘The voice of the people is the voice of God.” They aren’t necessarily so, such slogans as these. Popularity may be no more than the effect of clever but dishonest advertis-

Dr. Foreman*'

Ing. Fifty million i Frenchmen, or Americans or what have you. can be and sometimes have been ■ as wrong as sin. The voice of the people can be the voice of the devil To be sure, the majority may be

right some of the time, even most of the time. But it is no infallible guide, hnd it’s a wise man that knows when the minority report is the right one. Bod's Examination Bay Indeed, the ability to detect the truth, even when it is in a minority report, has sometimes been God’s way of sifting, of testing, his people. There is an interesting Old Testament story which tells of one of these examination days of God sets for men now ajjd then. The people of Israel, set free from Egypt, had been in the wilderness a little over a year. They had been given the Law, they had what we would call an organized church, they had a military organization. I All was set now for the actual . march into Canaan, Ute promised j land. Under God’s inspiration, Moses takes precautions first. He i sends twelve leading men in to ; "spy out the land," perhaps the i first "intelligence’’ section of any i army recorded to history. They stayed in Canaan for nearly six weeks, without any secrecy. (Passing as Egyptians the? would attract no attention to the Canaan of that era.) They came back with one unanimous report: Canaan was a country well worth the conquest, and the conquest would not be easy. At that point the unanimity •topped. The tricky part of any report is the recommendations. The majority recommended: Don’t attempt to enter Canaan. Too much fighting, certain defeat A little minority of two, two against ten, recommended: We can i do it by God’s help, if we will; so let it be done! Choosing between those two reports was God’s examination for the whole people—and they failed. For they thought the majority report was right The Wisdom of Faith A majority report nearly always sounds right, and this one did. It was a shrewd analysis of an obvious risky situation. But it was wrong. For the minority report brought in by Joshua and Caleb had a different kind of wisdom, the wisdom of faith. Now it takes faith to see the wisdom of faith; and that is why, to those without it, faith so often looks like sheer foolishness and even idiocy. It is a test of faith, to begin with, to see that a minority can ever be right. Left to our natural selves, we make wisdom a matter of arithmetic, right and wrong a matter of counting noses. We wait, before making up our minds, till we see which way the bandwagon is headed, and then we jump aboard. 1 True faith asks first, What is right? What does God say? and not What do people say? What does the biggest crowd think? Counting God In The wisdom of faith, now in our time as in the time of Joshua, has confidence enough to God always to count him in. Most Americans believe in God, so the polls say. But most Americans make plans, or small, without any thought of God, precisely as if he did not exist That majority report of the ten timid spies never mentioned God at all Maybe they just forgot him entirely. Maybe they thought be had worn himself out getting the people out of Egypt Anyway, their plans and recommendations bad no room for him. The minority report with the wisdom of faith, included five little words (in our English translation) that made all the difference: "The LORD is with us.” The people could not believe that . . . and so they died without ever setting foot on Canaan’s soiL It takes faith to count God in to your plans and your hopes. It takes faith to believe that what God wants done, can be done. The test of faith Is not the sure thing, the project that can't miss. The test of faith is not the bright day but the dark one. Jesus himself once spoke of a time when men would faint with fear and foreboding of what is coming on the world. Then, he said, then, lift up your heads!
