conservation of energy asserts that the kinetic energy of the universe is a constant quantity,” then I know that to them miracles are impossible. I know that to them there is no free will, no teleology, no life beyond the grave. I know that to them there is no belief in the Biblical good and evil; that behind nature and nature’s laws are undirected chance and not a living God. I am not concerned about another world war which this sort of philosophy is bound to bring on. I am not anxious about the souls of educated men who teach this doctrine, for only the Spirit of God can convince them of their error. But I am concerned about the lives and souls of the mil lions of young people, who -are being brought up in the midst of this soul-destroying philosophy, and who are accepting it as truth. “If we could push ajar the gates of life, And stand within, and all God’s workings see, We could interpret all this doubt and strife, And for each mystery could find a key.” ’TW A S C H R IS TM A S E V E ’Twas Christmas Eve in the City, And people were buying stores; And the crowded shops were busy, As the buyers thronged the doors; But how few were buying the Truth that.told Of a Saviour born in the days of old! ’Twas Christmas Eve, and the people With parcels were passing by; The presents for little children, The gifts for the morrow nigh; But how few were wise, and their presents brought Like the wise who the infant Jesus sought! 'Twas Christmas Eve, and the postman Was passing from door to door, With greetings and invitations, And wishes a goodly store; But how few were the invitations given To the lonely Guest who had come from heaven! ’Twas Christmas Eve at the station, And packed for the journey home,. The travellers passed and hurried; Oh, when would the last one come? But how few were going the upward line That starts at the gate of the Birth Divine! ’Twas Christmas Eve; he was coming— The loved and the absent son; And the watchers watched and waited For the looked-for expected one; But how few of His Second Advent thought Whose first glad coming a Christmas brought! — (London) William Luff. “ D E F E N D T H E F A I T H ! ” ^ _ exh ort you th a t y e should earn estly contend for th e faith which was on ce delivered unto the saints ” Jud e 3.
