There is a choke in our throats, a mist before our eyes, a thrill in every fibre of our being, as we real- ize, in wavs and surges of feeling, that the war is over and that the world has been saved.

Already there emerge above the darkness and the ruin dim foregleams of the purposes of the Supreme Ruler who makes the wrath of man to praise him, and Who has declared "My ways are not your ways, nor my thoughts your thoughts." None is so infidel as will have missed its greatest. oppor- tunity. This is the hour to concern ourselves with springs. It is quite possible that somebody who reads these lines has fn his, or more likely her, keeping the Joseph who will again save the world.

Does that seem like an incongruous descent from the great and sublime to the small and the unimportant? Far from #. The providence of God Is as truly concerned in the af- fairs of one life as in the establish- ment of the universe. Reverently it may be said, that the Creator himself reveals his height in order- ing the life of mortal, into whose frame he has breathed a free and sovereign spirit.

The Lord is still ruler of his world, even as in the days of Jos-) eph He holds our times in his hand. He may be leading by a way we know not, but he is still lead- ng.
