TEV. J. ATTWOOD STANSFIELD, of
Xv New York, will close tonight the
10-day mission he has been conducting
at St. Stephen's Pro-Cathedral. Both
his personality and his message, or at
best his methods and manner of de
livery, are of the type which too often
seem unique. He has been, however,
meeting with a good response from the
people of St. Stephen's and others, and
much good has been accomplished.
Those who have not been to this mis
sion will have further opportunity, as
the missioner will begin another 10-day
series at St. David's Church on Thurs

There will be given at the Atkinson
Memorial Church tonight, the second
sermon in the series on the "Life of
Christ." This series is illustrated by
slides made from tha paintinga of tha
great English artist, William Hole, and
are among the roost recent great paint
ings along this line. They ware com
pleted in 1906. Like Tissot and Hol-
raan Hunt, Mr. Hole made a trip to the
Holy Land for first-hand studies. The
customs, dress and architecture of that
Eastern land have changed but' little
in 19 centuries, so that the setting
which these pictures give for the life
of the Master may be considered to be
fairly faithful reproduction of the
times of his earthly life. Mr. Hole's
mastery of detail, bis imagination and
sympathy, combined with a most deli
cate touch have produced, a satisfying
series of pictures.
The story of the life of Jesus also
will be illustrated by the music of the
service. Miss HaU-ene Pierce will sing
My Hope Is in the Everlasting." from
Stainer's oratorio, "The Daughter of
Jairus."
THE First Presbyterian Church to
night will unveil their service flag
bearing: 114 stars. Dr. J. H. Boyd, the
pastor, will speak on "Our Soldiers in
Camp and Trench" a word of encour
agement to fathers and mothers.

IT was a Ions; time from Abraham to
to Moses, Through all those cen
turies a godly company waited for
Jehovah, and wondered at hla long si-
Jsncej.
Throurh the weary years In Egypt
the promise to the fathers Inspired the
hearts of a few anions; the Hebrews.
But It waa certainly a dismal outlook.
Oie Pharaoh succeeded another, the
bordens e-rew heavier, and the promise
seemed leas likely of fulfillment.
Hebrew mothers taught their children
the traditions of the nation, telling
them of Jacob, and Joseph, aad of the
great promise to Abraham. Children
arrew to maturity only to meet heavier
burdens, and a more cruel taskmaster.
Centurlea wore away; and the little
company of TS crew Into millions.
One day a startling event happened.
A Hebrew aad aa Egyptian bad a per
sonal encounter In a field and the
Kxyptian was getting tha better of the
Hebrew, when the Prince from Phar
aoh's court appeared aad quickly slew
the Egyptian.
Prtaare) Beeee Fw si five.
That act became the talk of the He
brew community. The Prince's act was
misinterpreted, and It reaulted In bis
' becoming a fugitive In a strange land.
And the Hebrews watted for Jehovah."
One day, 4 years later, two strange
men from tha Eastern Arabia were
closeted with the elders of the He
brews. Later they bad a long Interview
-with the Pharaoh.
Presently unheard-of things began
i to occur In the land, attributed to the
Arabs, who, no doubt, were great ma
gicians. The taskmasters Intensified their
cruelty and Increased the burdens of
the Hebrews: aad a mighty groan
rolled heavenward from Goshen.
One marvelous event thea followed
another. One night a mysterious
plague stole through Egypt, the first
born In every home was found dead In
the morning; and a bitter wail of aa
guish trembled throughout the land.
Then the long-deferred promise be
ran to be fulfilled: and they
that waited for Jehovah were
not ashamed. They went out from
under the yoke laden with riches aad
honor.
Falftllsaeat Is Delayed.
But still the promise In Its fullness
wss delayed. The troublous times of
the Judges dragred along and the king
dom was established. But still the
promise delayed.
Division arose. The national life waa
disrupted and decadent elements crept
In. The kingdom fell Into ruin, and
the people were captives In Babylon
for two generations. Then we find
them back again la their own land; but
stlil the promise la delayed in lta full
ness. Then 404 years of absolute silence
settled down npon the Hebrew people
and their land: there waa neither voice
nor vision from heaven. But a remnant
still waited for Jehovah. ,
One day an old priest officiating at
the altar In the temple was stricken
dumb, and Jie wrote that an angel had
visited him and left him speechless.
Shortly after that a Jewish maiden
reported, that she also had received a
heavenly visitor with a remarkable
message. It seemed tbat the long
silence waa about to be broken. Some
months later a company of shepherds
near Bethlehem was startled by the
appearance of a celestial choir with a
wonderful message which convinced
them that at last the long silence was
broken and the promise of ages was
about to be fulfilled. And they that
had been waiting for Jehovah were
not ashamed.
One day a snodeet couple entered the
temple bringing a babe and two doves.

Simeon, who had waited for Jehovah
for Many yeaaa; and now be declares
"Mine eyes have seen thy salvation
which thou hast prepared before the
face of all the people.
The promise seemed at last to have
reached Its fulfillment. But the atti
tude of the covenant people further de
layed the full operation of the promise.
Another "silence of God" settled down
over that remarkable people and It Is
still unbroken. There Is a remnant
among the great Jewish race who are
still "waiting for Jehovah"; and they
shall not be put to ebame.
n bile our text, like most prophecy.
belongs primarily to the Jew, yet it
expresses a universal truth. The whole
world today is waiting, either con
sciously or in ignorance, for God to
break bis long silence and to reveal
himself in power and majesty.
Multitudes have asked: "Why Is
heaven so silent In our age? There
seems to be no specific voice or act. no
revelation, no well-attested vision to
restrain evil and to encourage good.
And Just now many are asking, "Why
does not God stop this horrible war?"
This oppressive silence of heaven has
shattered the faith of some and dimmed
the hope of others.
These conditions grow out of three
erroneous conceptions of God. .
First. God Is conceived to act arbl
trsrily In controlling the affairs of men
and nations. This is the attitude of
the fatalist.
Second. God has been thought to be
so wholly a God of love, mercy and
peace that It Is Inconceivable that, he
should permit such Indescribable suf
fering among men.
This Is the broadest kind of liberal
ism which has a lopsided view of God
and makes him a sort of "putty man
They' forget that the divine order is
"first pure, then peaceable." It re
quires a fight sometimes to get purity.
Third. God has been conceived to be
"afar-off"; and Indifferent to the ordi
nary conditions of men on the earth.
This Is the expression of various forms
of modern, aa well aa ancient unbelief.
Beaefleeat Law Pvevmila.
Now, notice that God never aets ar
bitrarily except in (he call of Abraham
and the choice of the Hebrew people.
That call and the covenant are entirely
-unconditional, except as to the time of
their full realization. Every relation
ship of the universe Is under most
beneficent law. In whose operation
God has limited himself, except when
he deems It wise and necessary to per
form a miracle.
Therefore, God's infinite goodness
and love do not Ignore the law of
cause and effect, except, as I have said,
when he deems it wise and necessary to
perform a miracle.
And no man can advise the Al
mighty In this matter. He warned Is
rael of the consequences of disobedi
ence, and when they disregarded the
warning God's mercy was long drawn
out. But the time had not come for
him to work special miracles for them. '
Again. God . is not afar off nor In- 1
different to the sufferings of the hu
man race. But be must conserve the
majesty and the integrity of his gov
ernment even though the innocent may
suffer in the procesa All best hu
man government does precisely the
same thing.

Here is Tom B., who has seriously

and the popular voice commends the
action of the court. But here are
Mrs. B and five juvenile Bs who are
absolutely innocent, and they are
caused keenest suffering.
But nobody challenges the justice
and equity of the state In doing what
It did. There was nothing else for
the great state of Oregon to do. no
matter how beneficent her laws
may be.
Now apply this to God and the na
tions and you have one reason why God
does not stop the war.
Prussianism is looked upon as the
criminal against humanity and must
be dealt with justly for the welfare of
the world, and war seems to be the
only method.
Again, thia war Is the result or
clashing interests among the nations.
All the great nations have stated
their reasons for being in this war.

to conserve. The United States is the
only one that has no sectional or ter
ritorial interest in the game. She is
In it to preserve human rights and to
defeat the purpose to "Prussianize"
the world.
Armed Force Sole Coarse.
To defeat this latter in any way but
by armed force, God would be obliged
to execute judgment upon the aggres
sors In the war, which is contrary to
his revealed plan for the present age.
This is not the age of judgment, but!
of grace. Sir Robert Anderson, in one
of his books, says:
"The era of the reign of grace Is
practically the era of the silence of
God. Therefore, when God again de
clares himself it can only be in wrath,
and wrath must await the day of
wrath."
There is no place for judgment In
the reign of graoe. When Jest's was
on earth he said he came "to proclaim
the acceptable year of the Lord."
Now,, listen! That was the procla
mation of universal amnesty for the
world which -was In rebellion against
God. As loru; as that amnesty is in
force God will not act In judgment
against the nationa Hence. God can
not stop the war without violating his
proclamation of amnesty.
The sin xC Eden cnanged the right
eous throibe of God into a throne of
judgment; the sacrifice on Calvary
changed that throne into one of grace.
Under world-wide amnesty man has
full freedom of, action in the moral
sphere. s.
Freedom ef Action Involved.
God.coiuld not stop the war without
violating that freedom of action. But
the man or the nation that goes wrong
in the exercise of his freedom must
bear tlse consequences of his own
course of action. Hence, when a na
tion goes wrong It will reap the fruits
of its omro error, and the innocent may
have to. suffer with it.
The autocracy of Germany has an
overweening ambition for world em
pire. "The press of our land has shown
us thaet not only would the Kaiser and
his etx counselors gain the military
and political mastery over Europe, but
they would "Germanize" Europe also.
If hat were accomplished, then Af
rica and Western Asia would come in
line 'for the same process, and the
United States would be the next to
Invite that great ambition. You see
this spirit at work already in Poland
and in Belgium.
God has hitherto allowed such am
bitions for "world empire" to burn
themselves out in the fiery furnace of
war. This is seen in the records of
Alexander the Great and in Napoleon I.
mil tyranny, tne Inhumanity, the
inconceivable horrors of Prussianism
are doomed to defeat just as surely
as was the dream of a world empire
of Napoleon I.
DrmfMTary -to Have It Day.
President Wilson says the United
States is in the war to make the world
a safer place .for democracy. Very
good.
Democracy will have a world chance.
It is the last experiment in human
government. It was outlined in the
great image dream of Nebuchadnezzar.
But democracy will ultimately prove
inadequate to meet the problems and
crises of a morally deteriorating world.
But God is letting man work out hia
highest ambitions, and just now those
ambitions are running toward democ
racy. And God is silent while man
works out his own will in this, "man's
day."
But already we see the lack of co
hesion amoskj the various- social, in
dustrial and commercial elements of
our heterogeneous population, which
strongly remind us of the mingling of
the clay and iron in the image, which.
can never be molded into a stable soli
darity.
But democracy will have a world
chance, and when it has been suf
ficiently tried the heavens will swing
open and he shall come, whose is the
power and the glory and the honor,
and whose is the right to reign. He
will establish a world monarchy of
absolute Justice, mercy'and truth, with
uniform prosperity, peace and univer
sal good-will. And they that wait for
him shall not be put to shame.
