Howard Stoddard TeVfa
of Conditions In Germany
Dec. 28, 1920.
Miu lieber Bruder Elmer:
. Christmas has come and gone but
it has been mueji more pleasant than
I exacted, so, aside from not. having
the companionship of my foiuily, I
cannot complain. Here at the mis
sion house we had a real American
. Christmas dinner given by&Sister
Ballif-for the American missionaries.
For this renson, we,, did not get any
Majto" Kaffe and Strenzel Kue&en.
but more Christmases are coining so
diseases caused by having no nour
ishing food to eat. We havn noihmg
vow, and can Wve only if oher people

This is but one example, and when

The Omnipotence of 0i: In Man.
Jn the man who is fcelinelv con
vinced that God is the 0 Infinite.
Ever-Living Man, abiding only in the
secret place of the human soul, there
is released a stream of nower suf
ficient, not merely to sufejec cver
enemy of the spiritual life, but to
endow him who so believes and feels
with the very omnipotence of God
Himself. .

' Elmer, I realize that every new mis
sionary cets very enthusiastic and
expects to convert (he whole coun

duct what you feel from what I write,
but this is what I know from observa
tion and stories told by others: f.
Suffering Is Intense.
The people of Austria and Ger
many have undergone, and arc still
best we can.
Elmer, I have experienced the feel
ing that you spoke of many times,,
when things get , dark and you
begin to wonder if it is worth while,
after all. As I read the leUors from
my friends at school and hear of all
they are doing it makes me Tcalize
that I, also, could be there and en
joy their pleasures. This ; year in
school I might be someone as I was
ambitious to make good in student
activites and had worked to that end.
However, I am grateful to be here.
The Lord haa blessed me far more
as, w in every man, evil as well asj
good, and His omnipotence is insep-i
arable from His presence. His pow-f
crMn man is absolutely without lim-
itation, except by man himself whose:
freedom ef choice subjects it to his!
will to release of choke it back God's I
omnipotence can never be made an in
strument of evil to man. By the law
of its own order it cwn effect only!
what is good. It can fight only to
uesiroy tii ana to preserve what is
good. Against this infinite power in
man "all hell is not only as nothing
but is absolutely nothing as to pow
er." ' This marvelous truth has an in
tensely practical application' It
means that there is constantly ac
cessible to man a power from God
within him against which every force
that eeks ito curse and degrade his
spiritual manhood is utterly incom
petent And unavailing.
It matters not tnat men cenmnllv
do not avail themselves of this pow
er. It nevertheless exists and is resi
dent in every man by virtue of his
creation from God. Like electricity.
this power has always -existed; it
simply awaits the day of recognition
and of practical application to bless
and glorify man into the radiant im
age of his omnipotence and perfect
Maker.
