D. 6orUry o! Comtpondtaoe DaaartaiMli . Moody BlbU loatltuu, Cbkm "a ' TBXT-Vhoo Is en Jehovah'! riilr let -him corae unto me. R. V, . It Is related that at a certain point In Lincoln's presidential experience, when the affairs of the Union ' were ' In a precarious con dition, a friend remarked to hliu tlint It was a good thing to have the Lord. on our side. . Mr. Lincoln very -se riously replied that he was more concerned about whether he "Were on . the Lord's side. There are indications - -that the German . kul Her Is more con cerned on having the Lord, on his side than about being on the 'Lord's aide. . '".' .' The natural tendency, of mon'.la'to seek tits own or tbe things 'of human ity, rather than the things of the Lord, and man is simply asking what some ... particular courso will bring. to hint, or , whut It will bring to bis time. ' The , chief end of man in these days la not to glorify God. In this, grievous, wrong , Is done. ; When a course of actionals . . before one, the chief question' should not dc, -how will it, affect me?" nor, Indeed, "How will It affect my neigh bor?" but "How will it affect God r' ,. : The great need of the day.

' II . - uwU ,11 ..IB 1U1UU10, VHIU- Hi' wv euuius.. - The right thing for man Is to-ask where God 1b, and to. go whnrebe Is. If man would do that many of -bis , great theological flUtBttons would be settled. . God -manlfesta himself through his Word, and If men would go to the Word of God with these questions thoy would soon: be substan tially correct on all of them. - ; The text suggests the question, "Wfco Is on the Lord's sldet" or, rather. 'What man or woman has a. right to any that he is on the Lord's aldel" '. i In the particular case before, us,, the j people had made a , golden ; calf and were worshiping It. ' To do that, was to break the first two commandments Idolatry. It is Inevitable that -a man . - worship. If he does not worship God ho will worship some thing, or'somo one else.- Nor can a man be on the : Lord's side If he does those thlbga that ...tie. Lor donates. ... ...- If n man would know hls'duty to the Lord bo should seek to know what the . Lord thinks of certain things and here again ha must . take the Lord's Judg ment through his Word, for he cannot iknow what the Lord thinks unless he knows his Word. As to particular ac tions, n man may.be Jcft. to his own judgment, -but ns to the great princi ples that lie at the root of things, the - Lord makes clear declaration . in i bis Word. Does the' Lord love o liar, bru tality, deception? Tho ; remnant-of God's Image In man says at once, "No l No I" Does the Lord favor trutl)r lib erty, kindness? .That same . remnant of God's linage says, "Yes I Yes I" And consequently, the duty Is clear, and he should stand for these things. -We might sum up everything by, saying, "Yo cunnot serve God and mammon.") Tho scene connected with our text was probably -this: .There 5 was 0 golden calf and -people -were dancing about ttv Mosbi stood aloof and mmfutiii iry, J"VHosO :ls onlthp ; Lord's side, let him come to me.".

Is lt,t.O to, on the Lord's side? It Is a naturuj inheritance ;from our Binning first parents that wo will cither bo Indifferent to flofl'st commands or we will positively : refuse -to '.obey them. Fundamentally, the Issue Is the same. In tho case bef ore us, the wor shiper of the golden calf either con tinued his dunclng and ..worship, or just endeavored to be neutral. A man must "como across;" he must take a positive stand. The position of a neu tral Is the position of the enemy of God,. There are no neutrals In our Country now as to Germany, Political ly we wcro neutral until' the president -sold that a state of war existed, but now the neutral Is a pro-German. We must be out and out for the Cnlted States of America. A man's religious obligations could be Illustrated by. tak ing the two sides of on Irauglnaryillne, and to an Imaginary line there can be only two sides. It Is one thing or It Is the .other. We must be -positively, jclenriy, professionally on God's side, or wo are agulnst him. In the duy lu Which wo are living the Ideals and mo tives aro to bo more sharply defined (than In former days. ; An eloquent man said very recently that heretofore men were living to inalxo money, and now they aro dying to preserve righteousness, .s . tramen idous reversal of 'form. .
