aceas for all that are sick; is going to see that the poor are treated justly, and that social and financial equality shall be accorded to all. It is the stock in trade of the present day Russian leaders. In fact, it has always, since the days of Absalom who cried, “Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice,” been the chief political staple of ambitious candidates who seek to .dupe the people into the idea that if they were, put in tire place of power, universal prosperity in which every living man should share equally,, would become the experience of the land. The truth, however, is that up to the present, while some great and gracious men have been elevated to high office and have striven with every power at their command to exercise righteousness and judgment in behalf of the oppressed, the honor of so doing remains forever the glory of the Lord. It is a great thing, even though by suffering and trial, to come to know God’s intent and thought; to understand His program. This is the privilege o f the favored; and yet such is His righteous grace that all men who truly think upon the same are compelled to see in that course a God of grace and power. 2. Therein is Manifested His Essential Nature. “The Lord is merciful and gracious; slow to anger and plenteous in mercy.- He will not always chide, neither will He keep his anger forever. He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward thein that fear Him” (Psa. 103:8-12). When by weakness and suffering one is stripped abso lutely of all self-confidence, and the soul itself seems to stand in sheer nakedness before God, conscious that it has not a single rag of righteousness, then the Scripture becomes precious indeed-and, instead of trustin'g in human character or human conduct, we .are compelled to rest alone in character Divine,— merciful, gracious, slow to anger, plenteous in mercy, not chiding, not dealing with us after our sins, not rewarding us according -to our iniq uities! What ground of hope in the circumstance that “as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear H im !” How good to think with the modern astronomer and scientist upon the infinite stretch of the universe, measured now by millions on millions, bil lions on billions, trillions on trillions of miles, and then to know that we have but begun to lay the line that stretches from one side of the same to the other, and to be forced to consent that .distance is infinite— it. knows no end— and then to remember that “as far as the East is from the West, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us” ! Oh, what pardon and consequent peace! Who shall attempt to describe it? The language of Scripture alone is sufficient! And the Psalmist goes a step farther: 3. He States thé Ground of our Confidence. “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him. For He knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we are dust. As for man, his days are as grass, as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting to them that fear Him, and his righteousness unto children’s children. To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them” (Psa. 103: 13-18). What a ground of hope! I know what it is to be a father! I know what it is to pity my children, and by that I learned how the Lord pitied me, and I remembered with joy that “He knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are but dust.” He knows
