These words of the apostle Paul form an earnest and searchprayer. They give a clear ight into the whole message of Christian experience and a true philosophy erf life. This is all .the more remarkable when we remember that Paul served a small territory, and achieved meager results from his ministry of preaching. The constraint of God’s love, however, was upon his heart, the constraint of men’s sin and distress. He could not pats swiftly, enough from city to city, to proclaim the reconciling love and grace of God and to :all men and women through Jesus Christ 'from darkness , into light, from sorrow into joy, from despair into peace. His eager heart fretted because of barriers and hindrances of every description. Yet throughout nis ministry Paul made prayer the very center of his power. In God he lived, and moved, and had his being; he felt that he could do nothing nor conceive of anything in wh ! ch God was not as directly a participant as himself or those whom he wished to serve. Such intense appreciation of God’s nearness and interest in life goes

far beyond the attainments of- ift--jAe world will ultimately

three states, said:

"The War Manpower Commission pledges .that fanners in these three states will be supplied with sufficient help for good crop production. This help will be largely inexperienced, but il la' the best available—women, ■drool and college boys and girls, older people plus the nucleus of experienced farm workers we salvaged from the draft from industrial recruiting,

THE WEEKLY SERMON CORNER:

ready borne in the spirit in which we ought to endure. Paul’s reference to the patience of Christ is at once a warning and a consolation. This prayer assures us that those who are godly bear burdens, untoward circumstances, uncongenial relations, misunderstandings, malice, programs of unreasonable men—all of which call us to the practice of Christian patience. There will be no sense of having missed the true way, or of being forgotten by God. Rather there will be found in Jesus, ever present, a type and fountain of patience, which -will enable us to overcome all that is against us. “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” This is an affirmation which only a Christian can make. Christ guides

men livingly and

creatively into the love of God, and grants to those who seek the fulfillment of the love of God in their hearts the patient endurance of the world's failure about* them. He instills into their souls, the steadfastness and courage which assure them, that whatever else happens, God's purpose

the apostle

—^ ^ „ Jfw* Loa' direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patience of Christ”. If these graces possess us, and our hearts correspond and respond to them, we enter into light and peace amid the darkness and despair of life. We can take courage in the purposes of God for the whole world. We can rejoice that with patient endurance we have a share in bringing to pass as God’s channels a more complete rule of God in the hearts and lives of cur contemporaries. May it be said of us, that we have gladly accepted the ministry of reconciliation, “to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself”. For the fulfillment of this ministry we pray

for God’s direction.

most Christians today. We fail to recognize that this is to a great extent the source of spirit-

ual power.

When we look upon our world situation as to the extent to which the Christian religion has permeated the various spheres of life, we realize with a sense of inward shame that we have not yet attained the measure of the love of God in the realm of personal relationships, which Christians ought to attain. After nineteen hundred years of Christian experience, we have meager results. Christendom was practically a fixed quantity, shut up within the limits of Western civilization, and not aspiring to beyond them. We rejoice, however, that in these last years apostolic conception of the gospel as an ever-advancing, ever-victorious power of love has taken its place in the hearts of Christian men -and women everywhere. We begin to share truly in the ardent " evangelical spirit of Paul, when we recognize the gospel as a revelation of God's love, which transcends everything else, a power omnipotent to save, an irresistible pressure of love on heart and will, the glad tidings of great joy which the world needs so much. Paul’s prayer becomes our own, .'‘The l^ord direct our hearts into the love of God, and into the patience

of Christ".

Love is characteristic of Christianity. It signifies pr'-perly that which chooses its oVects the expression of that snirilval bond between God and man and between man and man in Christ: It transcends- in depth of meaning the ideas of friendship and natural affection, which in turn | eive richness, to the degree which they are caught up into : full significance of vital Christianity. This love is not a sentimental affair but a living and creative quality. It is. on

that which God

exercises in man’s behalf, preeminently * in the .Cross—“God so loved the world that he gave h s Son"; on the other hand, it is that which is expressed in the great commandment—“Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy soul, heart, mind, and strength; thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself”. True love demands a response. The gospel proclaims that GoH is love; it also declares that God waits for an

answer to that love.

Paul implies in his prayer that we may be out of touch with God, that our lives may be misdirected, separated from the love of God. We are not always able to say that love is the norm of action in our daily life. Too nany people have what may be called ‘‘aspirin" Christianity. Religion is regarded merely as a tonic or curative agency, to be sed only at times oPtrisis or of relfish interest. When affairs r. n smoothly, when outward condi-! Jons are calm and untroubled, | when the supply of the world's 1 joods seems to be adequate to ; supply all immediate wants, then j oot too much attention is gm n 1 to the dominant principles of the fall Christian life. Life is hen a mountain-top experience, without cares and concerns. Put; when the mountain-top expert- , ences .are no longer ours to enjoy,. and we are thrust into the valley 1 -of circumstance, then we are wont to gain solace in religion, which . beforetimes had little place in thought or activity. Religion, thus conceived, has an effect upon the i inner life, as aspirin has upon | worn and tired physical bodiesAs soon as the distress is reli- j eved, religion tends to become j

secondary again.

Paul therefore refers to the patience of Christ, closely united with the idea of the love of God.: The Christian life is npt an easy I one; there are constant demands for sacrifice and service. We are comforted by the fact that Christ i Himself had need of patience.! In the difficulties and sufferings j of the path which lies before us. * no strange thing is happening -to rs, nothing which Christ and the Christian men and -women through the yecre have not al- .

triumph.

We must remember the factor of time. The religious life may be thought of in terms of the building of a great cathedral. Centuries ago the Cologne Cathedral was first conceived in the minds of architects. Centuries of construction followed, and as generations of men builded, the majesty of the cathedral emerged, the whole range of human aspirations found expression. The lesson of patience was thereby written. The cathedral stands as a tribute to consecrated hearts and-hands. The Christian life has had its progress for nineteen hundred years; its grandeur is still emerging. We envisage in faith' the time when all men shall fulfill the meaning of life in relationship to God and man, in making the will of God regnant in all spheres of life. The context will be the love of God, and the whole world will be enriched by Christian living tyid ministry. In the patience which Christ inspires in s. we take courage, knowing that what we achieve for the Kingdom of God will be wrought up into the entire purpose of God

for al) humanity.

Yet in this experience of patience, implying as it does the a.ceptance of the state wherein v e find ourselvds, and the continual striving for better things, there mfist be our efforts to eliminate all the evils that surround us— poverty, crime, injustice, irrelig-

Avoid Too Stringent Dim-Out, OCD Urges TRENTON—An appeal was made to municipal officials and local defense council chairmen this week by Leonard Dreyfuss, state civilian defense director, to refrain from enacting local dimout ordiinances or regulations more stringent than those recently mnde effective by Major General Thomas A. Terry, of the Second Service Command, comprising New Jersey, New York and Delaware. Shortly after receipt of the new regulations, Dreyfuss said, a number of communities took Steps to enact more stringent rules that would go far beyond the wishes of the Army. “This, we think, would be a serious mistake," he said. “We urge all communities in the dim-

for all of us to adhere to this. Let me point out that, under ordinary circumstances, it is not an easy matter to drive safely under dim-out conditions. Besides, there is always a certain perage of thoughtless and care- _ drivers, with the result that the death and accident rate ia becoming a serious problem. “This matter was discussed at recent meeting of Governor Edison's War Cabinet and it was the consensus that all defense council chairmen and the mayors of all communities in ihe dim-out area be urged not to adopt rules dimming lights below that ordered by the Army,”' Dreyfuss

continued.

He pointed out that the wartime speed limit is 35 miles an hour, but at night in the dim-out area all drivers should reduce their speeds to not more than 20 or 25 miles an hour. Along the coast where lights are visible from the sea, drivers are required to use only parking lights, and the speed limit is set at 20 miles

hour. ,
