It requires the whole man tn
! understand God'a messages In na
ture. I There was no deeper solici
tude in the instructions that Moses
gave Israel than that they should
not fdrget Jehovah as the gYrer of
arr good things. He cautioned
themisaying; "Take heed to your
selve, lest your hearts be de
ceived, and. ye turn aside, and
aeryef olbef gods and worship
them!." So. also the cultured
Greefcs stibHtltuted nature worship
o tnat spiritual things became
their! stumbling block and seemed
foolish to them. Paul gave them
the eternal reason in his letter
to the church af Corinth r "Tbe
natural ntan receivefh not the
things of the spirit of God, neith
er can he know thent. bee an so
they are spiritually discerned."
Tbe natural appetites must be
liefd ia chetkr by the higher spir
itual ambitions, and as tne .seeks

hm he is made of God. i As the
Utile crippled girl who was taken

Indeed that people grow up in

away from their maker. This idol
atry of greed for good crops, for

too frequently. I have seen It in

a poem wfitten that prenenu more
of tbe detail of the worshipful at

religious significance, ; than that
choice production of Whit tier,
called "Nature's Reverence." The
entire poem is worthy of careful
study .for ' devotional purposes.
Certain stanzas are selected to
suggest the true spirit; of nature ;
"The harp at nature's advent,

Whatever revelations science
may disclose: hereafter, and what
ever eternal truth Revelation may
establish more clearly, there must
never bo the attitude of antagon
ism displayed that marred the re
ligious quest for scientific truth
in the past... The works of God
and His Word are iu abMolnte
harmony and should be left to
vindicate each other. When the
Interpreter of nature finds bis
final key facts and tbe translator
of the B'We so adjusts his con
clusions as to correctly express
the mind of the Infinite, each
shall find how near of kfn they
are and how greatly God knew
his creative plans. We may well
go bak tp John Milton, the poet
of the eternal, for his stately
lines that present another phase
of this great truth,
"These are thy glorious works.
Parent of Goodr
Almighty Thine this universe
frame,
Thus wondrous fair; Thyself how
wonderons, then!
Unspeakable, who sittest above
'the heavens
To us invisible, or dimly seen
In these thy lowest works; yet
these declare
Thy goodness beyond thought,
and power divine."
Science and faith should begin
to draw more closely .together be
cause they are vitally concerned
with the same setting up -of the
new order: Which Is-nn nther than
that old order of God's eternal
jower and divinity. But there is
another very serious reason. This
serious demand for all alert stud
ents of facts and of faith to work
together is that destructive radi
cal miasma that is spreading
down over ajl, lands. This sense
less, fearless disregard of all
existing ofder seeks to blast the
foundations bf all natural as
well as E ritual certainties.
While ;on may ' say the founda

and that In every age of destruc
tive fire and criticism aid has
arisen from unexpected sources,'
now seems to be the day for all
Who hope in the Almighty to as

In society, we must checlc the
high-powered disregard that Is

faith to help defeat the military

oy .mature men and women, as
well as by the young, constituted
the really awful danger of our
times. It is essentially the denial
of the God-consclousnesa in his
Works of bounty and grace, and
is as-idolatrous as is disclosed by
any of the pages of ancient his
tory. Unless thl mad race for
radical and selfish advantage is
successfully met soon we have a
very discouraging outlook for our
youth in the days of their matur
ity and leadership. In their zeal
for, a new form in which to ex
press their thoughts misguided
youth have already veered from
the simple paths of faith . that
saves and brings the faithful into
the possession ' of the manifold
laws of nature. And they have
begun to blaze out new trails that
must lead them to ruin, and oppo
sition to liim In whom we live
and move and have our being."
The reign ot terror in France
was the titanic illustration of the
truth of, this underlying principle
we. are urging. Men bad become
enthusiastic in their conceit as a
lion that has drawn blood for the
first timt In their lust for sel
fish liberty they sacrificed every
rational principle and knew no
love that might thwart their fiend
ish purposes. They had gone mad
for liberty and readily caught vrp
lust and license and debauch as
harlots of infidelity and hugged
them to their ruin. They were
like Sampson in yielding to the
flattery of their success, but they
put out their own cyes and even
tually ground in a terrible mill of
justice, and went, down with the
common ruin of that reign of
godlessness. In any age it is a
calamity for 4 any considerable
number of people to put God out
of their plans, and this is one of
the worst ways of forgetting God.
AH who set out to discover new
things in nature stumble in the
darkness without the Word of
God as their lamp and guide. As
John Wesley wrote of Madam
Quyon, "The grand source of -all
her mistakes was. this, the not
being guided by the written
Word." It is but a step from the
rejection of the Word of God to
the denial of any rational inter
est that God might exercise over
the universe. When one becomes
riotous In his egotistical quest for
some new independent theory in
his worship of things, it is a very
natural thjns for him to cry out,
there need be no God. In the af
ter years "Madam Guyon came to
realize her path had not only tak
en her away, from God, but also
from theproper understanding of
the things about her; and. in her
banishment she was awakened.
As she wrote:
"To me remains nor place nor
time; -
My country Is In every clime;
I can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is
tbere.
"While place we seek, or place we
shun - "
The soul . finds happiness In
none;
fiut with a. God to guide our way
Tis equal joy, to go or stay."
In our subject of finding God
In the natural forms about us, we
find some intimate and . tender
bearings on oar happiness as we
study nature at hort range. If
it be true that a man is- best
known in his Inner home life;
then we should look for the in
fluences of his yard and garden
upon mm. it De true that a-l
man who never smiles is a liabil
ity to society, so Is be 'who can
not walk In the' garden alone with
God and talk intelligently" with
the infinite. jQur thought i was
beautifully expressed -by deorge
Herbert, as he wrote of his much
lofed garden,
"One Is nearer God's beartfIn a
garden
Than any where else-on earth."
It is said of some people that
hey are possessed of a rare fac
nlty of Understanding .others. It
Is a wonderful trait of spiritual
character to be able to under
stand people; and it is usually
found with a certain class. Those
who have an understanding trust
in God are most likely, to reveal
the faculty of understanding peo
ple. There Is a reason for Bishop
Quale being so universally ' en
joyed. He shine still with that
understanding of nature that
makes him a universal brother.
But this is nossible beransn h
had such a trustful understanding
ou. ne saw everyuun as
"God's out of doors" and scintil
lated his thanks about the prairie
at sunrise or the burrowing prai
rie dog.
There Is no plight more pitiable
than the state of soul pf those
who work upon nature and yet
refuse to be introduced to the
God of nature. There would bo
no exodus from the farm if more
farmers would try to understand
the message of the open country
as did Elizabeth B. Browning, in
her lines, . ,
"The foolish fears of what may
happen.
I cast them all away,'
Among the scented grasst,
Among the new-mown hay;
Among the husking of the corn
Where drowsy poppies nod,
Where" ill thoughts die and good
are born,
Out in the fields with God."
Tbe dean of engineering in a
great university said that those
who apply themselves to that de
partment of science are seldom
agnostic in their relation to God.
They see w many great and mar
velous phases of nature that are
beyond' all their understanding
that they are forced to believe in
a rational Creator, for they can
not conceive of the earth coming
by chancre. Students who bury
themselves in the theories f mere
human philosophy may forge
God, but those who must struggle
to surmount chasms and tunnel
mountains do not. How strange
it feem. for any to seek the or
der of plant life and yet contend
that there is no Author of these
marvelous forms! There is no
rational unbelief, as a knowing
author wrote,
"There is no unbelief;
Whoever plants a seed beneath
the sod.
Ahd waits to see it push away the
clod
He trusts in God.
"There is no unbelief;
For thus by day and night uncon
sciously The heart lives by the faith the
lips deny.
God knoweth why."
Every agnostic and troubled
doubter needs tbe heart of living
things to Infuse better life and
wisdom Into him. As Maurice
Hewlett wrote, "garden-making is
as near as a man may get to the
divine functions." However, it
requires the reverent mind and a
genuine appreciation with the am
bition to bring nature to her best
expressions. It was with some
such thought that the writer rat
ed garden-making, for In the
same sentence he declared it must
be properly allied to architec
ture." It was Thomas Brown, the
Manxman, who wrote of his ra
tional faith in the necessary Creator,-
"A garden Is a lovesome "thing,
God wot;
Rose plot,
Fringed pool,
Ferned grot, ,
The very school
Of Peace; and yet the fool con-
tends that
God is not!
Not God In gardens, when the eve
is cool?
Nay, but I have a sign;
Tls very aure God walks irt
mine."

the unknown, by faith. We have
already conquered the? fast enemy
of life when we begjn. to-live In
Christ. He Ijs ever, giving his
assurances in the springtime, in
the sprouting grain ahd, the, burst
ing, buds, that though a man die1
be ahall II ve a gain. " While we
et- positive spiritual evidences
through faith In the risen Sav
iour, yet we have helpful analogy
in the transitions In nature. We
shall not perpetrate the fallacy'
of putting forth buds as a direct
proof of our Immortality. It i
a great error to wave a bonquet
at' Easter time to convince serious
audiences. These recreations of
spring growth can never fully re
semble our resurrection, but they
tell us of God's mighty hand in
nature. All the world of created
things struggles to give adequate
testimony, of its kind, that GOd is
tbe author of the resurrection.
And He who gives the seasons
their new birth of flowers, aud
cares for tho birds and the lambs;
can awaken mankind Into the
resurrection life.
It would seem that God staked
His all for the awekeninK of self
centered souls in His revefations
of the resurrection powers. For
there seems to be no hope of win
ning any man to faith in Christ
who boastfully continues to deny
the voices employed to bring bin
to the knowledge of our bountiful
Creator, especially those voices
that sing the glories ot the resur
rection of spring life. It is sug
gestive that those whose ears are
shut lo nature's pleadings are
themselves soon forgotten! Men
must have faitb, and faithless
men are set aside. ' We are ever
treasuring, the memory of John of
Damascus for his eternal Easter
hope, as we Slng-i" '
Tis the spring of souls today;
Christ bath burst his prison.
From the frost arid gloom of death
Light and life are. given.
All the winter of our sins.
Long and dark, are flying
From his light to whom we give
Thanks, and praise undying."
Everything that really has
breath does praise the Lord. The
motive of every flower is toglor
ify God,' and the only adequate
response .from man is his best
acclaim of gratltndel As Robert
Grant wrote,
"Thy bountiful care what tongue
ean recite?
It "breathes in the air, it shines
in the light, '
It streams from the hills, it de
scends lo the plain.
And sweetly distills 1n the dew
and fn tbe rain.? , '
' William Cowper approached the
authorship of material things in
the right way, with an open mind
that could hear God speak to
him. In the song beginning.
"God moves in a mysterious way,"
he gives the key to all that stub
born barrier that shuts, so many
from the glorious thing of find
ing God through his natural prov
idences. It Is the evil heart of
unbelief,
i
"Blind unbelief Is sure to err
And scan His works in vain;
God isk His own interpreter.
And He will make it plain."
Nature nas tut one ministry
and that Is to glerify its maker,
and everywhere her visible forms
declare the providences' of God,
and these manifestations solicit
our unbelief with reverent obedi
ence. There must be harmony
between man's heart and that of
the AlmTghty to catch the har
monies of nature. It Is here
where poets are borri. While
some prose soyjs ran satisfy
themselves that there is no mes
sage from God In the forms about
them, no soul has been able to
express Itself in poetic lines Ip a
masterful way without awaken
ing to this mysterious oneness.'
