How itudg iilllcautly Hiuall wo all find In tlio presence of our God! No wonder Home great men havo been Inclined to nay that humanity In too lnBlgnlllcatit from tho Dlvlno HtaudM)lut to bo worthy of tho luiiHt connlderatlou much lenn to bo object of Dlvlno enro and provi dence! Tho Scripture encourage tin to reanou from tho known to tho un known. They tell tin that although God In ho great, ho wise, no iKtworful, ho lu also Jtint and loving, And tho more wo consider the mnttor, tho moro reaHOiiablo thin Illblo dooctiptlon of tho Almighty nppearn. 1 1 In power wo eo domoiiHtrated. The wlmloin of Ono ho great cannot bo doubted. Thou wo como to consider, Could Ono ho wlno and so powerful bo unJiiHt or un KeneroUH? Our henrtn answer. No! No ono In really crent who Is devoid of Justice anil love. So mircly an our God lu Jehovah ho must poxuosn theno qualities. When wo camo In contact with tho niblo, and particularly after wo learn ed HomothliiK of Itu teachlnits and Hot rid of tliu mlsroproHcnUitloiiH which gathered about It during the dark agon then wo began to rocogiilco it an tho mcRHago of Jehovah to his creatures. It Informed us that tho great Creator of the uulverHo lu not only Almighty and All-wise, but loving and kind, with JiiRtlco as tho very foundation of hln Kin pile. From tho Illblo we learned, too, that our Creator had been pleased to make un In hln own Imago, In Ids own moral llkoneas, to the In tent that wo might enjoy him and tho fruits of his rlghtoouNtiofls to nil eter nity, Prom this Htnndpolut wo began to reallzo that tho lofticKt sentiments of tho human mind and heart aro merely the rellectloiiH of thlH Creator, TIiuh coming Into Hyuipathctlc ac cord with our Makor wo can coinpro houd the principles of his chaructor what JtiHtieo tdgnlOcs, and inorcy and kindness what Ih wisdom as contrast ed with foolishness. From this stand point wo woro enabled to hoo tlio glori ous perfection of our Maker's charac ter and attributes, which justify tho numo which ho uub takon to himself when ho doclaros through bis ambas sador, "Qod la Lovo." Ao wo como to ronlleo this moro and moro, wo nro grasping tho Inflnito; wo aro gottlng near to tho hoart of tho great liltornal Ono, who weighs tho mountains as In a balance and' measures tlio seas lu tho hollow of IiIh hand, "Like Unto Your Father." GodllkonesH Is lovo-llkoness, und, r the Hcrlptures declnro. "Love l 'I.' Mllllllug of the (IHvlnw Law" (" The Seas In the Hollow Of God's Hand "Wirt) Imtli tncaturt'd llio teas in llio hollow of hit Imnd" (Italali xl, 1 2). mans xlll, 10). Ollr greul Creator, the only living and true Ood, In thus seen in contrast with nil tlio gods of tho heathen, who nro pltlleso, morclles'i, ivongoful, devilish. From tho Illblo wo learn that Jehovah, tho True God. taken dullghl In doing kixmI lu the -, erclno of hln Almighty power and win dotn In tho creating of beluga In wIhm everlantlng Ufo and enjoyment forem ho tnki pleasure. With suth glorjoi. 4 Intentions hln creatlvo work lnr. 1 with tho celestial beings, who are wtl.i enjoying hln favor. With Hlmllar be nevoloueo ho created man u llttlo lou er than tlio angels, crowning him wlt'i glory and honor an tho king of ltd creatures, on tho animal, tho htimai! plane, tho IIIcouchh of bin Makor, who is a nplrlt. Hearkening to tho explain) tloii'i of the Dlvlno ptirpoueu by the Apoitlen and Propheta, wo havo re ceived nHNuraucen that nothing han befallen Immunity In nil tho dlro ex perleucen of the past six thousand yearn that tho great Creator did not foreee. Further, wo havo tho nnsur nnces that Divine Wisdom purpose eventually that tho team and sorrow, crylngn anil dying, tho penalty for Oilglual Kin, under which man has suffered all thete centuries, tho great Creator purpose shall work no real disadvantage to his creatures, Instead, the end of the Divine Program will at test tho varloun elements of tho Divine character nnuotlilug else could have done. The holy angels, who have known no sin, will In mankind read to eternity a aluablo lesson of the ex feeding sinfulness of sin and the win dom mid blcHscdiioHs of righteousness. And even mankind, although at pros cut suffering seriously under thn weight of Dlvlno displeasure and con demolition to death, will ultimately be ho blessed und tho weight of blessing m outweigh the sorrows of the euro (hat every creature shall bow tho knot nud every tnuguo confess to Divine Justice, Wisdom, Lovo and Power, lu connection with tho Dlvlno dealings with humanity. "Joy Cometh In the Morning." A night of weeping six thousand yearn long. Involving suffering and nor row to twenty-thousand millions, is an awful thought. Hut tho proposition Is yet a different ono when wo remember that the majority of Adam's chlldreo die In Infancy and that to thone who live their threo scoro yoar nud ten with labor and sorrow, there nro pleas lug and happlfylng experiences, un well an tears. And wheu wo read that even the tears of a few yoara are a purl of the disciplines. Instructions and expert ei -e which Ood designs shall bo val uable, lessons In preparation for n f.lorlous and Joyous eternity then the whole matter begins to have a new as pect to our minds. If tho light atlllc 1 tons of thl j present time will work o-!t bles.ilagn for eternity then we can re,ok'o In them for ourselves, our neighbors and all humanity. And this In tho Dlvlno proosltlun. Not that God linn over proposed ctcrunl llfo for a single rebellious soul, but that ho has prepared blessing for all of Adam's race who shall como Into full harmony with himself. At present ho In teach lug groat general lcsKomi to humanity 11s a whole by tho exceeding slufnlnes.i of sin. It would be too bad If, as these lessons nro learned, thero should ho no opportunity of protlting by them llut there will be an opportunity of profiting, and this In tho groat meiwu.o which God lias sent to mankind and which, Scrlpturnlly, is styled Tho Gos pel tho "good tidings of great Joy which Hindi bo unto all oople." through Christ. The ilht of weeping, six thousand yearn long, is nbout to bo followed by tho morning of Joy. Tho Now Day, In which darkucsH nud sin will bo abol ished and In which tho Sun of night tHuiMiienn will hloss and heal tho world of mankind, h a Thousand-Year Day for tho bktonlng and uplifting of our raco (II Peter Jll, S). Tho Itlblo de Fcrlboa that day In most glowing terms. It is the day of Mcaulnh, tho day lu which Qod'a Kingdom shall como nud I1L1 will b dpnooti onrthjui ltls done In hoaveii. tho dny In which tho poor aud needy will is) lifted up from the dunghill of superstition nud depravity, tho dny In which tho knowledge of tho glory of God shall till tho wholo earth And there shall bo no moro fear. That day will not end as do others. It will not bo followed by a night, but lead on to a glorious eternity for nil of God's creatures who appreciate Divine goodness and. using tho Divinely pro vided opportunities will return to full harmony with their Creator. Such he will in turn rocognlzo us his nous nud, at his right hand of favor, tbny will enjoy pleasures for ovormoro. Tho Revelation of Our Qod, Ono of old truly said, "Thou art a God which hldest thyself" (Isaiah xlv, IC). How true! Aa u result tho world by wisdom knows not Ood. no is near lu his wisdom and lovo, yet he can bo neon only by those wiioso eyes of understanding havo boon opened, llut wo nro glad that tho tltno Is com ing when nil tho blind oyea shall see clearly. "Aa I livo, salth tho Lord, tho wholo earth shall bo tilled with my glory," "Tho knowlodgo of tho glory of Qod shall till tho wholo earth as tlio wators cover tho gront.doop" (Habak kuk ll, 14), Thon all shall boo what God hath wrought and our temporary blind ness will but nccontunto tho glorious brightness of his Wisdom, Justlco, Lovo and Pewer: "Ollnd unbollof is suro to err, And scan his work In vain; God la his own Interpreter, And ho will int,k,9 Jt uLalilU'- 1WHAT 18 THE Name L OF THE FINE8T Flour If you nro it nsor of tlio flour Hint wo liandlo "It won't inko you long (o uiiKwcr Hiih ouoh llon.
