“VICTORY FOR TO-DAY”

CAMPAIGN FOR GOD INTEREST GROWING LN WANGANUI That interest is growing in the Victory Campaign being conducted in Trinity Church, by the Rev. Ashleigh K. Fetch, is indicated by the increase in the attendances at. the meetings. Last night the speaker s theme was "Victory for To-day.” He drew a picture of modern man standing in the midst of a universe of unimaginable dimensions, overawed by the magnitude of all he saw.

“At other times." said the speaker, “man, as he reads history, is overwhelmed with a sense of tragedy. What is the meaning of it all? The present calamity finds masses of people baffled and perplexed. Life demands an interpreter. Such an interpreter is offered us in Jesus Christ. He came to a world just like our own, in which men were thinking and talking in terms of power-politics and economic system. To those men He said ‘God.’ ~ “The missing word in the world today is God. Societies. systems, nations are disintegrating at the present time for the lack of that unifying power, which is found in God alone. . . "In the modern world confusion many are asking again the question of Thomas: ‘How can wo know the way?’ Jesus still replied: ‘I am the Wav the Truth and the Life.’ Life for Jesus was not a murderous machine, but a vivid sense of God. It was that that made Him the Master of life. The victory to-day is for the individual and the nation that is Godconscious.”
