The whirl of life at the present moment seems almost too much for men's comprehension and for their endurance. The times are out of joint. The present is a tossing chaos, the future a blurred haze. Let us cast our thoughts back to the time when Jeremiah asked himself the same question we have\propounded to ourselves. The circumstances of his time were as appalling as those that now confront us. Babylon was as ambitious, cruel, and unscupulous as Germany. Judah was more helpless than Belgium. Is God doing nothing? Can He do nothing? Jeremiah found nis message from God waiting for him down at the workshop of the potter. Life is at times like the ceaseless whirr of a machine; man feels himself then as helpless as the cloy. Yet-out of it the potter moulds a vessel for use and honour. God does the same for men and nations. He is doing His work, and it is on these relentless, inexorable wheels that He does it. Nothing is more noteworthy at the present time than the way in which nations and individuals are being compelled to things which they ought long ago to have done without compulsion. France voluntarily exiled God; now thousands of her people are seeking Him because they must. Shall we voluntarily compel Kaiser Alcohol to abdicate in this country, even though the Moderate patriots have recorded their inflexible determination that he must still rule? Must the Potter compel by the pressure of his thumb ? The war is not blind anarchy, the government of the universe lifts not been broken down. On the contrary, it was never more evident. Do not let ■ us anger God by recording our silly inflexible "determination to do this or that without asking His all-power-ful aid, or He will turn our counsels into foolishness. The framers of this third anniversary resolution have forgotten the wiso proverb:" Man proposes, but God disposes," and power belongeth unto God. " Now, 0 Lord, Thou art our Fathernot a mere blind destiny; we are the clay and Thou art our Potter; and we are al a design to be wrought by Thy hand. — Isaiah 1xiv.,,8.
