MidOcean May 29 As I look abroad
and see water water everywhere
without a speck of laud in sight and
as I reflect that we are passing over
varying depths some of which are as
great asfive miles 1 am reminded of
the promise in the Lords Word 4hat
ultimately the whole earth the world
of mankind shall have such an abun
dant knowledge of the Creator and the
Redeemer as to be fitly illustrated by
the depths of the sea I have there
fore chosen as my test the words
The earth shall be full of the knowl
edge of the Lord as the waters cover
the sea I remember also the very
similar promise by the Lord through
the Prophet Habakkuk ii 14 For
the earth shall be filled with the knowl
edge of the glory of the Lord as the
waters cover the sea I am reminded
also of the Prophets declaration that
the time will come when Every knee
shall bow and every tongue shall con
fess Isaiah xlv 23 And again That
at the name of Jesus every knee shall
bow of things in heaven and things
in earth and things under the earth
And that every tongue shall confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory
of God the Father And I am also
reminded that in that day They shall j
teach no more every man his neighbor j
and every man his brother saying j
Know the Lord for they shall all know
me from the least of them unto the
greatest of them saith the Lord j
Jeremiah xxxl 34 The question
properly arises To what extent shall
we consider these statements literally
true What kind of fulfillment should
woexpect them to have
If we look out upon the heathen

vironme nts so that they never heard
lhe whole difficulty we see lies in the
fact that Gods people in the past have
not studied his Word a they should
have done Some of us subscribed to
one creed and some to another saying
to ourselves Our creed is not satisfac
tory but it is probably as free from
error a s other creeds We consoled
ourselves with the thought that all
Christendom was considerably befog
ged and we no more than others
Some of us probably tried to satisfy
our minds by saying that those fea
tures of our creeds which dishonored
God and implied his lack of wisdom
or worse his willingness but lack of
justice or lack of power that these
things were mysteries which must be
believed although they could not be
reconciled with human reason and
common sense Some of us even tried
to persuade ourselves that we wre
exercising extraordinary faith in these
matters but in reality we were mere
ly ignorant of GodsWord and cred
ulous of the wisdom of our creedmak

Romans xlii 12 Now is our salva
tion nearer than when we believed
Romans xlii 11 The evidence that
we are in the morning of the new dis
pensation multiplies on every hand
We are evidently in the period which
the Bible declares as The day of
Gods preparation God is preparing
to usher in the longpromised period
of blessing and refreshment which he
has foretold through all the holy
prophets The wonderful Inventions of
our day along the lines of chemistry
steam and electricity are fulfilments
of the wonderful Day of Christ
which is nearing Gods people have
failed of great blessings in not sooner
noticing this fact We stood as it
were with our backs toward the East
looking for the sun to rise in the West
we were looking to our own efforts to
convert the world rather than looking
to the Lord from whom alone must
come the help Hence the glow in the
East had assumed considerable propor
tions before we noticed if and many
SF
Bequently we see at a glance that re
markably few of our race have thus
far attained to the degree of knowl
edge which God would he pleased to
recognize At first this might seem
peculiar to us we might hay to our
selves or to others Why does tiot God
give it out freely to all The reply of
the Scriptures is that God Is givlHK
his knowledge freely now to a certain
class and that by and by he will give
it to all the families of the earth This
essential knowledge is promised to
the faithful in the world He that seek
eth findeth and to hlin that knockejth
it shall be opened The secret of the
Lord is with them that reverence blni
and he will show them his Covenant
Blessed are your eyes for they Sfe
and your ears for they hear Such
as thus abide In covenant relationship
with the Lord Jesus are indeed taught
of God in the School of Christ and
may truly grow in grace and knowl
edge j
A distinction should be observed In
knowing about God and knowing Gpd
himself It is not sufficient that we
should recognize God as the Almighty
Creator for devils also believe thati
On the other hand to be intimately
acquainted with God means that we
must come into intimate fellowship
with him and this means that we
must come unto the Father through
the Son by faith By thus comingitp
our heavenly Father by an acquaint
ance with his Word and through an
appreciation of his glorious work pa t
present and future we get a view of
the lengths and breadths and heights
and depths of love divine all love ex
celling In proportion as we beheld
the outline of the Divine character
we perceive our own deficiencies abd
try the more to rid ourselves of tbefnV
and at least manifest to the Lord that
our hearts are in harmony wlth ie
