A Lesson for the Week Secret Agent on Side of Those Fighting for Right

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS. ■'The stars in their courses fought against Ribera." That, familiar

comment upon an ancient Hebrew battle expresses an eternal truth. There

are imponderable and intangible forces at work in the universe for the maintenance and progress of right and truth. Most thoughtful persons are agreed that in the present stupendous world struggle. Hitler cannot win, even though the material odds have been heavily with him. He is on Ova ii-rnnn 1 A._ ..O

battle between mankind’s spiritual Interest and the selfish advantage of one group or persons.

This present' was in an acute expression of the eternal strife be- tween the higher and lower natures of man. Ancient Persia's religion saw all life as a continuous struggle between good and evil, light and darkness, the higher and the lower. That strife still rages in the indi- vidual human breast, as well as in the world of affairs. The Scrip- tures abundantly affirm the same

teaching, which is inwrought in es- sential Christianity.

This truth is the profound basis of our present confidence during the contemporary world upheaval. There is a Divine force buttressing our highest expectations and aspirations. It matters not how we name it. It may be called the Higher Power, the Eternal Principle, the Spirit of the Infinite, or simply God Himself. However designated, it signifies that there is a mysterious somebody or

something who works with and for man's best purposes and efforts. It is the same Spirit who moved upon Chaos at the creation; who was promised as a Substitute for Him- self by Jesus in His farewell ad- dress; and who is today moving upon the hearts of all sorts of people everywhere, to give them glimpses and hopes of a better world. Thrice blest is he to whom is given,

The instinct that can tell, That God is on the battlefield When He is most invisible.”

This sublime truth of the Holy Spirit is one of the deepest mys- teries of our faith. It is often neglected, and often perverted. The high brow who

iisj attl/uill

of the Spirit's ac tivity is equal- ly in error with the u n t u tored emotionalist who j a 11 r i b utes his physical contor- :

tions to the Spir- j it. Many persons have erroniously j believed that the

presence of the Spirit is revealed by seasons of prstflrv* fnrppt-

ting that ecstacy is always tempo- "’. T Elll».

rarv, whereas the Spirit is an abid- ing force.

We have heard misguided Chris- tians boasting of the gift of the Spirit, as if this were a special per- sonal ornament. Dr Charles R. Erdman sagely observes, "I really believe that the men truly filled w-ith the Spirit are the men least con-

scious of the fact.” Paul clears up this point, having

in mind the Master's word that a

tree is known by its fruit: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuflering. gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temper- ance; against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affec- tions and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

For Life’s Everydayness. It would be an inadequate religion

which did not offer all of its benefits to all of its disciples. We freely concede the Spirit's aid in the preaching of a great sermon, in the great decisions of statecraft, or in the writing of a great book. What we often forget is that this Divine

Helper Is an ever-present aid in the everydayness of life.

He enables a farmer to drive a

straighter furrow: a stenographer to type a neater letter; a cook to pre- pare a finer meal; a woman to be a

wiser mother; a salesman to sell a

larger bill of goods: a machinist to turn out a better job at his lathe. As the letter to the Ephesians ex-

presses it: "For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and right- eousness and truth.” "There are diversities of gifts, but one Sprit.” We may have the highest Help for the lowliest task.

To this Source we look for the loveliness of life. Grace and graces are imparted together. There is no

charm that a woman can possess to equal the winsomeness of a

spiritual character. The secret of strength in men lies in the depth of their spirits, where another Spirit

| dwells. The Quaker teaching of "the Inner Light”—often diluted in modern meetings to a mere exalta- tion of personality—was given by George Fox only as a name for the in-dwelling Spirit of Christ.

In a special degree the truth of

l the helpful Holy Spirit is a Christian possession, the farewell bequest of Jesus. The Man About to Die de- scribed the Spirit and His office most fully. (John xiv.16—20, 26.> The Spirit is an Advocate, a Strength- ener, a Comforter, the plenipo- tentiary Ambassador of Christ; the Paraclete, as He is called in the Greek.

trials little and great. He gives overcoming endurance and power in persecution. He enables the disciple to bear witness to his faith. He fills life with peace and joy amidst all conditions. He reveals the mind of Christ. He is the Source of all the kindliness, helpfulness and right living of Christians. The Holy Spirit is religion's Great E.-sentiai. provided by the Saviour.

Scruff of the Neck Aid. Once a distinguished layman was

telling his religious experience. “I am grateful for scruff-of-the-neck providences which have delivered me in great temptations. It has seemed as if the Spirit has saved me by main force, in spite of myself. And in the long run of my life, as I look back upon whatever services I have been able to render the Kingdom. I now see that only the Great Enabler has made these pos- sible. I can say with Zachariah. 'not by might not by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.’"

In like manner may all of us rev-

erently acknowledge that there has been a force in our lives, outside of ourselves yet within us. which has made for whatever righteous-

| ness we possess It has checked the angry word and inspired the kindly word: It has quickened our natural laziness into doing what we ought to do; it has implanted in our hearts a love for the good, the true and the beautiful: it has permeated our

j democracy until as a nation we sense the divinity of the great objectives of freedom and loyalty and broiher- hood.

Now. in the supreme test of all time, we rely upon that same Spirit of God to bring us forth triumphant into a new Kingdom order of life.
