A Lesson for the Week
Lifting Life's Level by
Views of Nature and God
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
Dr. Henry van Dyke used to tell of finding one of his guides, during
a wilderness trip, on the top of a mountain at the close of a hard day.
The man had spent long hours in wearying labor and why he should
cap it all by this arduous climb caused his employer to ask, “Henri, why
did you climb away up here?”
“It gives me a feeling of heaven-uphistedness,” simply replied the
French-Canadian. <•
That unlettered man of the woods
was kin to the Hebrew Psalmist of
olden days. He found in nature,
and in large _
outlook, a stim
ulus for the
day’s toil. He
recognized tne
needs of his im
mortal spirit,
which sought
sustenance in a
contemplation of
God and His
works.
This beautiful
ninetee n t h
Psalm, so often
the refuge and
delight of nature
lovers, is the as
W. T. Ellis.
signed Sunday school lesson for to
day. Its opening lines are among
the most familiar in literature:
“The heavens declare the glory
of God;
And the firmament showeth His
handiwork.’’
It somewhat rebukes our pride in
our modern literature that this lofty
poem was written in the long-ago,
far-off days ot human history.
Poets are plentiful nowadays, but
none of them has matched this im
mortal utterance. Indeed, we are
constrained to contrast the trivial
themes of our petty modern verse
with the sublime simplicity of the
Psalms and their majestic treat
ment of God, nature and man. No
wonder these ancient poems are
the daily comfort of millions of de
vout men and women.
In a period of panic, such as the
present, when the whole world is
woe-begone, it makes for strength
and serenity to view afresh the
dauntless processes of nature. A
few days ago, stunned by the radio’s
reports from Europe, I sat working
in front of the fireplace in our
Canadian log cabin, subconsciously
resentful of unseasonable weather.
My writing would not “march.’’ I
was in no mood to counsel my fellow
men. So I laid aside pen and paDer
and went out onto the rooks, amid
the pines where the lake shimmered
before me. I mused upon the
changeless march of nature amidst
all human vicissitudes. Here were
the old, simple things that last—
the sky, the sun. the rocks, the
woods, the waters. God has not
gone out of business, despite all of
mans waywardness and folly. In
the mood of the nineteenth Psalm
I returned to my work, with shoul
ders squared and spirit uplifted.
It is good practical advice for all i
of us, amidst these days of crashing
nations and of triumphant pagan
ism, simply to get out of doors, to
be taught by the eternal simplic
ities of nature. We are reading too
much in the newspapers and maga
zines, and listening too often to the
radio. Our nerves are jangled, our
steadiness of soul is shaken and our
faith is clouded. So let us get away
from people for a time, to be alone
with the Eternal and His handiwork.
A Bigger Idea of God.
Lawrence of Arabia told me the
story, which he later published, and
which has been widely quoted, of a
conversation that he once had with
an Arab companion, as they rode
camels by night across the desert.
The brilliant stars prompted him to
inform his untutored companion of
the discoveries of modern astron
omy. The Arab listened with atten
tion until Lawrence was through.
Then he replied, in simple confi
dence:
“Yes it is true. The foreigner
looks through his wonder-glasses
and beholds millions of stars. And
that is all. He is proud of his
knowledge. But the Arab looks up
and sees, you say. only a few stars.
But behind the stars he sees God.”
That is the gift of eyes that makes
the Arab content and that made
the Psalmist great. Beyond the cre
ation he beholds the Creator.
Stretching past the effect, he sees
the Cause. In nature’s works he
finds nature’s God. In that simple
faith the Arabs have outlasted all
the proud empires of history. They
are a God-conscious, and therefore
an undefeatable people.
We think their religion imperfect
and inadequate. But at least it is
founded upon and encompassed by
a great idea of God. And as is a
people’s faith in God, so will its
strength be. Already we are seeing
one supreme benefit of the present
holocaust; it is turning mankind in
desperation back to the God of our
fathers. We hear of great gather
ings for prayer in many places.
Church attendance everywhere has
suddenly increased. Religious litera
ture enjoys a new vogue. The Bible
is being read as never before in
living memory. All the world is
searching for God. Life's level is
being lifted. People now scorn the
petty, distorted themes and pursuits
that recently engaged them.
Linking Law and Life.
After his sublime tribute to na
ture, the Psalmist turns to that
other great wonder, the Law of God.
He links the two as eternal verities.
The Creator has not left His plans
for man to be discovered by the in

struments of modern science.
They are revealed in the inspired
word. He has laid down a moral
law as sure and as eternal as the
laws which keep the universe whirl
ing. The philosopher, Kant, once
wrote: "Two things are awe-inspir
ing: the starry heavens above, and
the moral law within.”
“God is our refuge and strength,”
declared the Psalmist. He is ulti
mate defense and succor. During
the dark days of the war President
Lincoln once said, “I have often been
driven to my knees, by the conscious
ness that I had nowhere else to go."
The whole British Empire is sharing
that mood today. Last evening I
attended an Anglican church serv
ice, on our first Sunday of this
summer in Canada. I noticed a
great change in the preacher, and
in the whole service. The spiritual
note was deep and real. One could
fairly feel the eager, anxious, ex
pectant dependance of the worship
pers upon the God who alone can
save the nation in this dire crisis.
For 20 years past the world has
neglected and disobeyed God’s
clear law. Our sinning is now hav
ing woeful consequences. And we
are returning, in contrition and
penitence to Him. Anew we are
learning to say with the Psalmist:
“The law of the Lord is perfect,
converting the soul: the testimony
of the ^Lord is sure, making wise
the simple. The statutes of the Lord
are right, rejoicing the heart: the
commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes. The fear of
the Lord is clean, enduring forever:
the judgments of the Lord are true
and righteous altogether. More to
be desired are they than gold, yea,
than much fine gold: sweeter also
than honey and the honeycomb.
Moreover, by them is Thy servant
warned: and in keeping of them
there is great award.”
That law will yet be the salva
tion of an imperiled world.
