an accounting to the judge of all the
earth.
The real mission of the state is not
to create an artificial political struc
ture; not to maintain a ruling class;
not to walk pridefully amid other na
tions; but to serve the whole people
in the fear of the Lord.
Vhat Divides Sheen From Goats?
There are crood nntinn
nations, successful nations and na
tions that have failed. Every ma
ture thinker ponders this tale which
history tells. He asks himself over
and over again why certain nations
have missed the mark.
In the light of this luminous Scrip
ture we perceive that ministry- is the
mark of greatness for a nation, as
for an individual. The truly "great
powers" are those whose people have
been best served by their government.
Empires built on exploitation of the
common man have alwavs come to a
disastrous end. A reasonable hope
for the survival of democracy lies in
the profound, truth that it is estab
lished in the welfare of its citizens;
a weirare that is dear to heaven as
to earth.
By thi? present ScriDture we k
mat the King who spoke these words.
Among the private papers of the
owner of "The Youth's Companion"
Daniel Sharp l'ord. whose will
nobly fulfilled hL-; lift- purpose, was
found thf following anonvmous
poem :
"The bread that giveth
want to give;
The water pure that bids the thirsty
live;
I want Ui help thp fainting day by
day;
I'm sure f shall not pass again this
way.
