In the morning Mr. Black spoke `on The Courage of a Great; Faith,` taking his text from Psalm 46. v. 2, Therefore will we not fear though `the earth be removed, and though: the mountains be carried into the: middle of the sea. The need of `calmness of spirit, courage and faith were stressed. Many people to-day` particularly in the British Isles, are. bewildered and fearful. They have: -been conscious of something sinister: .pen.rling for several years. Things; .that were held sacred are now chal-1 Ilenged and discarded. If ever cour-5 |age and faith were needed it is to-' `day. The Psalmist in his day lived {in the midst of war and ruthless-` ness. but he could say, I need- not` fear, whatever happens, because he `had faith that God was greater 'than all those things. We need courage to bear the in- evitable. Life in its fullest involves: pain, trials and discouragements, and it should be the business of the church to sustain in the people cour- ' age and faith. Life is a costly thing [never a bargain, and we cannot es- |cape life by running away from it We are called on to face whatever our lot in life may be and it de- pends on the resources of our soul` ghow we measure up.

We blame a system that was not our choosing. We be- `lieve too much in heredity. While `certain traits of character may be handed down, we are all responsible gfor our actions and for our thoughts. _ ` Social workers tell us that forces be- `yond our control are shaping our iclestiny; political reformers say it is `the systcin, while others say our as- . sociations determine destiny. There danger of blaming all on sour _ grapes. There are hereditary tend- `cncies in all to hinder or to help in r the struggle for character. We are not responsible for our heredity, 1 but we are for our actions. There is a stronger force in the world than heredity, the divine spark in man _ We may change our social system _~ and our economic system, but if we want a better world it will come only by the regeneration of individ- uals by the grace of God. The church to-day needs to assert her- . self with the redemption of men .'|and women. ' We are what we are ilbecause we want to. A view of life 3 that evades responsibility is fatal.
