At 8t. John's Episcopal Church lut
Sight, thi Right—Reverend C. K. Nel
son, Blsh/p of the Diocese of Atlanta,
Breached Ja magnificent sermon to a
irge corgregatiun. w
"A Vidon of Hope” was the subject
chosen, lad was as follows:
II. Kilgs vt: 17. And the Lord open
ed the free of the young man; ana he
saw: add behold the mountain was
full of horses and chariots of Ore
round fbout Elisha.
It wls an era of great depression In
Israel./ Jehoram's reign of wickedness
succeeding one of the same character,
had Weakened the moral fibre of the
cltlzfns of his capital, gamarla. an ef
fect/always produced by sin In high
?laasf and with loss of trust In God
he* went courage to resist the foes
wlWse existence when not a warning
nor a menace. t
is the army of the Syrians held the
capital In siege many viewed annlhll
atfcn as lmmlment. and the servant or
attendant of the Prophet Elisha shared
the common apprehension: and as he
gazed upon the army of fleet horses
, aid death-dealing chariots, cried out
►■with alarm: Alas! blaster, how shall
pe do?
i Now the prophet had before him the
identical prospect which Incited fear
In the others, and yet showed a com
posure In his answer from which one
may gather a lesson of confidence In
the Supreme Ruler of human affairs.
There was In hint a sight of the Invis
ible things which enabled him to reply
In a spirit of supreme hopefulness—
“They that be with us are more than
thby that be with them.”
It may baatfiat this Incident Is the
origin of an expression In times of
fearful ness and trembling when the
fiowers of evil seem to be overwhelm
ng In number and strength, .and the
numerical minority Is with usf that
“God and one make a majority. ’
To afford to his attendant comfort
and peace,. "Elisha prayed, and said,
'Lord, I pray Thee, open his eyes that
he may 8<o,' And th® Lord opened
the eyes of the young man; and he
saw: and behold the mountain was full
of horses and chariots of fire round
about Elllha.”
Here, as elsewhere In emergencies,
God had not left Himself-without a
prophet—a visible representative of
His will and a believer In the power of
the Unsson. It took a prophet to em
brace tie real truth of the situation
and to convince another soul that the
Odds In favor of the ascendency of evil
Were merely apparent. And a vision
was vsuchsafed which set the matter
ft rest In an exhibition of. a favoring
orce :hat left no doubt as -to the re
*UMairy a one In our time finds him
self lit the mental attitude of Elisha's
Servant. That there are occasions and
apparent reasons for anxiety cannot
be denied.-and never perhaps more or
more dreadful than when a condition
of proaperlty deceive# men Into aslf
rellance and Indices lives of ease, of
carelessness, and of sin.
It Is just then when spiritual re
sources are low that the adversaries
of faith and virtue make gi¥atest dis
play of strength and their manoeuvre
are calculated to dishearten all but the
few who are able to comand a vision
of love and providence.
And the shock, when It comes. Is al
ways greatest to those who are at ease
or who In supreme Indifference ex
claim: "The Lord will not do good,
neither will He do evil."—Zeph. I; 12.
Ip our own time there U a boast
fulness of worldly power, which sav
ors greatly of the pagan conception of
strength as being the physical quality
of mere brute force, or superior num
bers and armament, and leaves out
of view that righteousness and rever
ence for the Most High are alone the

permanent substance of a poopla'a'
greatness.
There la a maaterjr of wealth which
exhibits 1 toe If not always In vulgar
displays bat elao la assuming and
maintaining control of the affairs of
thousands of human beings Th dlrect
lona and for purpoaea where Judgment.
Juatice and charity are needed to
a degree Impossible to be found In the
few posaesaora of great wealth. For
whatever may be averred of the money
mablng faculty, no one can aasett that
It either produces or Is . necessarily
(we may say nominally) allied with
those qualities of heart and head
Which guarantee wisdom In distribu
tion.
Materialism, not as a philosophy, but
In concrete thought, and worse still, as
the expression of the beginning -and
end of human existence and Including
all motives and rewards, has a vast
army of devotee% little and large.
We are confronted with a disposi
tion to extravagance which is no less
dangerous because It has taken hold
of a democracy and not an empire;
and where every man la a King) and
to the limit of his ability, frequently
to his great dishonor and in Injustice
to others, enjoys a King’s privilege
Still more alarming is the wide
spread Indlftereifce to ltlb, nascent old
or of middle age; indifference to the
proper use, to the responsibility, to
the sacred loan of life, shown lp the
lightness with which men and women
throw It off.
That these and many other condi
tions which might be mentioned are
calculated to create serious anxiety
needs only to be stated to be recog
nised. At the prospect some are fear
ful some discouraged. It does look to
them that serious calamity Impends,
and no way of escape from a Just
doom appears In all or any of human
calculations and promises of reform.
There Is but one cure for the dis
tress, one source of relief to the bur
den of woe, that Is a vision vouchsafed
ol^ the ever-present power and provi
dence of God. and of His all-sufficiency.
Simple trust (born of faith In the Di
vine promises) gives the assurance,
“They that be with us are more than
they that be with them."
And to those who pray looking to
perceive how God Is caring for His
own. the vision comes “and behold the
whole mountain Is filled with horses
.and chariots of Are”—swift enegles in
pumbers. and Instruments of force to
oppose the foe and to consume the
evil and the false.
Much of discouragement and most of
failures are due to lack of faith in the
Invisible: and doubt makes cowards of
us all. ,
The evils of one day cannot be di
minished by argument, nor evaded by
denial. They are patent facts and not
the Imaginings of croaking age.
Whither shall the Christian look for
remedy?
Looming up out of the darkness of
perverted Ideals and the gloom of un
repented sin. the figure of the Incar
nate Christ appears to HIS disciples,
and as on another occasion, when He
seemed helpless and alone, one may
hear H'.s voice saying, “Thlnkest thou
that I cannot pray to my Father and
He shall even now send me more than
twelve legions of angels?” S. Matt,
xxvl, 63. _
For our encouragement and comfort
visions are obtplng on every hand ex
posing the holts of the Most High,
ready to obey His summons When th‘e
need appears to Him.
First—In the history of God's deal
ings with men and nations, what is
more manifest than that He allows
them to run their course and In His
own time and way brings them Into
the fulfilment of His plan. By the
wars In South Africa and In the Sou
dan He has opened the gates for the
evangelisation of millions. The more
recent wars In China and Japan have
created an unparalleled opportunity for
the spread or His truth with an lm
fetus which Morrison oould only dlm
v foresee. _
Second—From the beginning of the
Christian era an evolution has been
going on with one underlying purpose
and object, notwithstanding periodic
waves of error and unbelief. ,,
The average man notes It only in
great movements like the Norman
Conquest, the Reformations of the six
teenth century, the Wesleyan revival,
the great awakening In this land, the
Oxford movement In England. But the
process Is continuous and advancing
day by day.
Third—A phenomenon of our time Is
the marvellous cessation of contro
versy.
It Is not that men think less or hold
less tenaciously to their convictions,
but In view of the widespread longings
for unity among Christians, and In
light of the tremendous progress and
success of missionary enterprise, men
are coming to ask themselves. What
are the greatest Interests of humility
and how are they to be sabserved; and
there Is less time and less disposition
to wrangle over the variations which
enter Into a composite catholicity; and
there Is more stuoy of the common
ground upon which we stand In the
great battle against the allied forces
of sin and unbelief, than effort to ad
just family disputes and to seoure con
sideration of our denominational pref
erences.
Fourth—Then again, behold the un
paralleled growth of universal human
sympathy (a-41rect product of the Gos
pel In Its wide acceptance as a basis
of conciliation).
The Hause conference of arbitration Is
In fact an application of the Christian
mode of determining grave causes, as
against the pagan method of resort to
arms. And, despite the warlike prep
arations and demonstrations of the na
tions. appeal will hereafter be had to
arbitrament rathey than armament, and
battles will be waged with words rath
er than with weapons. Observe the
Interest of Christian nations, not solely
for gain or trade, In the Orient. How
the hearts of all men went out In sym
pathy to the unfortunates In the ca
lamity of Messina and of 8an Fran
cisco.
In narrower spheres the plans of
Juvenile reformation, the child-labor

Sixth—Or again what marvellous ad
vance on past ages Is observable In
the discovery of comparatively recent
times that religion Is more than either
worship or the saving of the Individ

ligion; that school teaching Is religion;
that asylums, associated charities,
street and slum work are religion;
that boys' clubs and women's associa

provement and communal government
are all different operations of religion,
opening up avenues of usefulness and
beneltcTenoe to multitudes who hereto

ply to gain admittance within heav

no man can save his own soul without
an effort to save at least one other

Seventh—The outlook has been wid

we are the gainers by the change.

Fermentation, with only partial diges

Your food sours. Is only half digested,

You can cure all this by not eating,
