TILL HE COME! Homera Hodgson
He was not wanted here, and they—— MEN—were quite capable of running th is world to th eir own satisfaction, if not to His. Ah, what a day of glory would have dawned for th is sad old earth if He had been given th e title th a t is His by rights, and made King over it all! But no. They pushed Him out of th e ir lives, and th e ir descendants have been doing it ever since: the average man does not object to th e idea of a nice, kind God away up in heaven who will make everything go righ t, and take them all to heaven when they die: b u t like the Kaiser of Germany, before the late war, when told about the re tu rn of Christ, they object, say ing— “T h at would no t do a t all! That would upset all my p la n s!” Well, God is going to upset all th eir plans one of these days— “ overturn, overturn, overturn, un til He come Whose rig h t it is to reign .” And till then we who read and believe our Bibles will keep on saying— “ God’s in His heaven, All’s w rong w ith the world.” This world lieth in th e arm s of the wicked one. It is evil from beginning to end and to tally corrupt from the days of Cain, the first Antichrist, to th e days of th e la st A ntichrist. It will be u tte rly vile, un til the day when God steps down from heaven and, in th e person of Jesus Christ, seats H im self upon His Throne a t Jerusalem . And th en our song will be “God’s on th is earth , All’s rig h t w ith th e w orld!” Amen, Even so, come Lord Jesus.

A popular little verse by Robert Browning appears everywhere today on th e pages of “ religious” papers, and because of its brevity and rhythm it catches on and is found far and wide; it is probably th e most quoted sentence from all his w ritings, and is as follows— “God’s in His heaven, All’s rig h t w ith th e world.” ,I t is from a charm ing little poem called “Pippa Passes,” and as far as mere literary grace is concerned it certainly deserves its popularity. But in spite of its happy spirit, its cheeri ness, its charm and popularity it is actually a LIE. But how attractiv e a Lie can be, decked in soft words, w ith a swing and a lilt! M inisters adorn th e ir sermons w ith it, and editors em bellish th e ir columns w ith cheerful predictions of coming peace and pros perity, and lull th eir h earers to its tuneful lilt. Yet it is ju st a LIE. God is in His Heaven, and because He is there all is wrong w ith this world! Once in the fulness of times He came here, to His own, but His own received Him not; they hu rried Him through th e narrow streets and up the slope of Calvary shouting, yelling, cursing, scream ing— “Away w ith H im !” And so they got rid of .Him. At least they though t they got rid of Him. They sent Him back to heaven where He belonged, w ith th e very plain and clear understanding th a t
