MERCY TRIUMPHANT THROUGH TRAGEDY The International Sunday School Les?-~ii For Mny 18 Is "Tlie Grace of God"—Eph. 2:4-10; Titus 2:11-14. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS The greatest problem of all ages W and all lands has been how to keep good men from becoming bad and at the same time to know what to do with bad men who are determined to keep themselves bad and make others like unto them. The child of the highest civilization and the son of the deepest savagery are here seen upon/the same level. Human life is unendurable where sin taints and wrecks the gains Ibotli of thought and of material endeavor. Education, culture, wealth, —what are these worth where depraved pas sion has made them all its slaves? A millionaire's home OQ Murray Hill becomes quite as horrible a hell as any Mulberry street sub-ten ment when a conflagration of evil passion burns unchecked. The story of the deluge, well Before The Advent Of Woman's Gladness Worsen Who Know Take Precaution Against Suffering.

Sin Self-Destructive r The story of conditions in the an cient world before the time of Noah . corresponds to many a dark narra tive of later ages. Evil is increas : ing among the children of men. The hour when the Creator looked forth upon the works of His hands ' and pronounced them "very good" , seems to have passed, never to come back. The deeds and the desires of j men wax worse and worse. Horri ble crime and passion produce more daring designs and imaginations,, 1 which in turn bear swift-maturir.g ruit. Where will the- broadening cycle of depravity end? Seemingly only in the self-inflicted destruction . of the sinners. "Let us eat and > drink for to-morrow we die!" Sin t is suicide. "O Israel, thou hast de stroyed thyself!" is the prophet's true interpretation of the nation's l plight in a later age of its career. So fell ancient Greece, perverting its , v<> of beauty into unbridled lust. ' and debasing its power of noble i thought to lowest levels of casuistry. So fell Rome in the hour of her greatest wealth and world-wide possession. So will fall any nation, and city, and home, and soul, that 1 lets sin have free course. The worst ' penalty of sin is sin working out its j own nature and producing its in- I evitablo sequences. Have the fires I of hell cooled because men no longer ' believe in a literal and physical 1 flame of brimstone? Not so. When a soul going on in the self destruc ! tion courses of sin comes to say "Myself am bell!" be is reaching ' the limit of conceivable agony. Tlie Sphere of Moral Surgery What is God's way of meeting this mad rush of humanity on the tobog- j gan slide of ever-deeper sin? Shall a world of beauty and wondrous pos- j siblllty He fallow and idle because man, the glory and crown of crea- | tion has blotted himself out of ex- j istence? What is the remedy? One that in its terribleness shall lit the awful malady of the patient. Here is a cancer sufferer. The . little spot of diseased tissue, seem- I ingly so trival, is spreading. Every ■ day sees larger ravages of the de vouring demon. Skin and nerve > and sinew waste away before its j . merciless approach. Agony, inde scribable now, and presaging worse things in the future, is the victim's lot. What shall bo done? A poul tice? A perfumed lotion to counter- J act the offense of the senses? Con- I cealment by bandage and elaborate , I screening? No. There is only one , I resort. The operating table—the . j keen, glittering knife, whose swift ' movement shall go faster and fur ; ther than the cancer's progress. And so tlie surgeon stands prepared, I bending above the diseased tissue, and ready for his work. Is he mer , cilcss as his strokes cut and cut ; again? Is it cruelty to thus multi . late? No, it is supreme mercy; it " is greatest kindness. Even so the story of the deluge ' stands out as the earliest and sublimest representation of a divine mercy that shrinks not from moral ' surgery where nothing else will avail. To save the good by remov- I ing that which is hopelessly bad; to replace contagion by isolation; to I i look beyond the terrible processes of j the immediate present to the resulfs I that in due season shall appear— i that is divine. It is God's way | | where no other way will avail. It is 1 I divine wisdom where human devices ! lure avowedly helpless. However Lawful tho tragedy, however fearful | j tlio picture of desolated realms and I countless corpses as the waves re cede, it is far less appalling than | the thought of humanity's doom if ; left to itself to continue unchecked j the course of self-destructive mad ness which was invading all realms | of mun'H being, | For bo It over remembered the S j slory of tho deluge does not end as ! tho waters reach their utmost | height, and tho Inundation of plain I | and valley nnd hillside comes to its ! j climax, God has not forgotten what j lias been blotted out of sight by the | rising and engulfing billows. ' The j end? No, tho end is not yet. Some j tilings are Indeed ended but only ! that others may begin. .What next? Tlio Stimulus of a Fresh Start Who does not respond to such an i incentive whenever and wherever |lt conies? The new year, after the | weeks and months of the old one | have been crowded with mishaps | and failures and follies; the new i home, whero old associations are ' gone, with their enticing tempta j tlons; tho new task, with better adaptation to one's powers and one's | likings—all these things send a I thrill of new purpose into the soul | that has grown burdened and hope ] loss under old conditions. Hero was the merciful purpose of God, rovealed clearly in the out come of this tragic chapter, but to •>© equally attributed to every DOT tion of it. A new start for a world I that had gone wrong! The dove i that flies forth and comes back with I the first symbol of cheer goes out again and return no more. The ark. j its purpose achieved, is abandoned | its one safe voyage a sufficient re j turn for all the labor spent upon it. Tho preacher of righteousness de ; live red, not alone from the perils I of the rising waters, as they creep higher and higher above hilltop and ; mountain summit, but from the grave perils of the floods of ungod liness and depravity which had i raged around his household in the old days—for hint and his a new : world indeed opens as they go forth from a captivity which had meant : a deliverance. I So it often is, so it might much | oftcner bo, when God sends into in | dividual lives some startling provi dence which causes old things to pass away and all things to become new. Many a deluge of financial dis aster leaves a man bereft, bewilder ed and perhaps tempted to despair: hut out of the very ruins of an old life there mny be built a fairer and a better fabric. Tlie Bow of Promise It is ever present, just as. sunlight flashing across raindrops has ever, from the earliest dawn of creation, causes the prismatic colors to ap pear. But men do not always see II: and we will need the clear reve lation of the meanings of the Al mighty to see the tokens of a sure and sound hope amid the storms of life. There is a hope which "springs eternal In the human heart," but which is a human instinct rather than a special divine gift. There is a hope which is born only of faith, a confidence which comes "out of the depths, "when we have entered them ana emerged, conscious . f God's presence and guidance at even' point of the journey. For the believer in God's goodness in ail things, because he is able to look beyond beginnings to n final goal. No midnight can banish the clear shining of the Sun of Righteous ness; and wherever his beams glint across the storms of trial and tribu lation, and glories of a more than earthly hope crown all the conquests of God's mercy. "Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It Is the Lord who rises With healing in his wings. When comforts are declining He grants the soul again A season of clear shining To cheer it after rain." Influenza Fatal to Major Oliver Hogue Sydney, Australia, May 16.—Major Olivet*' Hogue, of Sydney, the man who is generally credited with hav ing first given publicity to the name "Anzac," is dead. He was himself an Anzac. After having come through the Gallipoli campaign and the Palestine campaign without a scratch, he died of influenza in Lon don early in March. When the war began Major Hogue was a newspaper man, being on the staff of the Syd ney Morrting Herald. During the Gallipoli campaign Major Hogue wrote for his paper accounts of the til-starred efforts to take Constantinople in which ho ap plied the code word "Anzac" (Aus tralian and New Zealand Army Corps) to the seddier from the South Pacific.
