BRITISH NATION? the 28th April, '1917, we published ■~,? following appeal under the heading God Calling to His People":— . Many .are deluding themselves as to the imminent collapso of Germany and her Allies, but their power' to wage Woody warfare on the battle fronts • and fnurderous brutality on the high seas is'by no means broken. S'orrow has invaded many homes, "and we cannot, yet see all the disastrous effects which must certainly result should the' war .be prolonged till 1918.. Yet in .spite of all this, we have, as a nation, almost entirely left God out of account. We have,planned anil yarried without seeking counsel • and ' strength from Him. Until we begin , earnestly to acknowledge God we shall continue to make _ disastrous mistakes, and great victories will not fall to us. As Admiral Beatty truly remarked. 'Till England humbles herself and looks to God with a prayer on her lips, only till then can we begin to count the days to victory." ' . . . GOD'S WORD.—"Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye eh nil all bow down to the slaughter: because when, I called, ye did not an- . swer."—lsaiah 65, 12. We wrote the above believine flint the British Empire as a whole still believed in the God of their fathers—the God of ' the Puritans and the Covenanters.- But "" we heard' Sir Robert . Stout last-Sunday deliver an address'in which he .laboured to prove that the Bible was nowadays discredited as the Divine-inspired Book of God throughout the Empiiv, that the Christian faith did not stand npon n rock foundation, and that it was doubtful if our leaders in scientific thought were agreed that there was even a great"First Cause." ' The cmestion Sir Robert Stout raises is: "WHERE IS THE LORD GOD OP THE.BRITISH NATION?" Notwith- . landing' Sir Robert, we still' think the bulk of the nation believes in the Bible .as the Divinely-inspired Word of the Living God. Ho will probably admit • that Lord Kelvin,' just recently deceased, was uncmestionably-' the greatest scientist of these' times, and. he must Imow that this distinguished; man died firm and unshaken in the Christian faith believing in the Bible from cover to cover as the infallible. authoritative revelation of God to erring mortals. Was it Sir Robert Stout who some years ago, being received as a notable • visitor from one of the Dominions, asked the scientist who was conducting him through the British Museum, to be "shown the, exhibits which proved that the Bible was contradicted, and to whom 'the reply was given :_ "The British Museum does not contain any such evidence"? Wo would like to ask Sir ■ Robert Stout has he ever bended his/ knee and asked God to reveaL Himself to him through His precious Word? One wonders whether, with all-his wide knowledge and experience, he realises that ' the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ is a mighty force—indeed, the most potent that the human mind can contemplate. It is not a, mere shilly-shally, wishywashy subject for academio debate.' The -Rev. S. Beckingham, who has recently come to this city, can speak from pergonal testimony of the great, power of the Spirit of, God which manifested itself in so extraordinary a manner dur- • im* the Welsh Revival. ' We understand that every soldier who goes to the front is provided with a copy of the New Testament by the British Government. There are still faT more • Bibles being published in Great Britain than any other book, and the demand for the Word of God in the United States since the war has far exceeded the possibilities of the supply. We are Tglad, too, that more books are being read and published throughout our Empire on the subject of the prophecies of Scripture than at auy other period in ■ the history of the Christian Church. It is 6ad that in spite of all this the leading official in our State should ask, "WHERE IS THE LORD GOD OP THE BRITISH NATION?" "BY THE WORD OF GQD' WERE THE HEAVENS MADE,..-AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM BY THE BREATH OP HIS MOUTH: LET ALL THE EARTH PEAR THE LORD; LET ALL THE INHABITANTS OF TIIE WORLD .STAND IN AWE OF HIM."-- .
