Clean and Safe Religious Fiction Good for young folks—and old folks—any but particularly good for time- vacation time.
even if that necessitated a rearrangement of the schedule. So the order goes forth: "Hold the line clear for the Presi dential Special” ! Or "Hold No. 12” (2 Kings 20:9-11); or, “ No. 10 will take siding at such a point till Extra No. 8 has passed” (Joshua 10:12-14). All this Is familiar to us all. Does he thereby disarrange the whole system, or impair either Its stability. Its efficiency, its safety? Is he not within the rights and prerogatives of his position in this exercise of his power In the interests (as he conceived them) of the Road, or the public of all con cerned? Say, friends, who so contend for "fixed laws” as the “ schedule” upon which in this wonderfully efficient “ continuous progression from lower to higher, from simpler to more complex forms, these resident forces operate”— shall we deny to the Almighty Originator and Supreme Ruler of this marvelous universe the privilege— the right— to do with His own laws (regulations) for the operation of His own “ system” what without question or protest we con cede to the Superintendent, or even (in emergency) to the Dispatcher of one of our Railroads? Shall we make the Almighty the helpless slave of His own laws, or forbid His modification, within limits imposed by His own unchallengeable wisdom, of His method of oper ation, because, forsooth, we, ephemera floating for a few fleeting moments In the sunlight, bubbles on the surface of the swift-flowing riveraof time, are sure (have settled it to our satisfaction) that it would disarrange the whole mechanism? Not a pious theology, but plain every-day common sense revolts and says "NO !" As an alternative, in simple, filial confidence in such a God, we say with the aged High Priest of Israel: “ It is the Lord! Let Him do what seemeth to Him good.” Amen! Or with the heathen monarch who had "come to his senses": “ None can stay his hand or say to him—What are you doing?” (Dan. 4:35). ARRESTED BY A SONG A Salvation Army open-air meeting was going with a swing. A great crowd of mixed nationalities had gathered round to listen, but one felt himself in need of a Saviour. “ Cap’n, sing that verse again!” said he, a seafaring man, while big tears coursed down his storm-hardened cheeks. With tender feeling the comrades repeated the verse, “ I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power? Who like Thyself my Guide and Stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me!” ' At the conclusion of the song the man stepped forward, and, placing half a crown in the hand of the officer, said to the crowd, “ That song has touched my heart. My mother used to sing it to me when I was a hoy. I was bent on evil tonight, but that song has upset my plans. I will be a better man in the future. Thank God for the Army!” He left the ring and made his way back to the ship, his heart filled with a determination to live a godly life.
