Armistice Sunday finds us studying three sons of ancient Israel that point out the pathway to permanent peace. The spirit of rejoicing filled { the whole earth when at 11 o'clock in | the morning ot November 11, 1913, the news reached the people of all lands that an end had come to the war, | greatest ever fought in the world's | history. It was a similar spirit that !filled the heart of the psaimist of in the first psalm assigned for our | study. | “Whoever were the human authors of the Psalms, the real author was the spirit of God. No human poet or { series of poets could have proguced a | collection_capable of accomplishing !such results as this old Jewish hymn book, which has expressed the uni- versal cravings of the human heart for spiritual fellowship with God and the abolition of war. The psalmist recognized that destructive provi- dences have their graclous aspect and that God's true victory is mot won when opposition is ceashed and hearts mede to quake, but when rec- ognition of His sway and joy in it swell the heart” God's Universal Rule. In the forty-seventh Psalm, which is used in the ritual of synagogue as the New Year psalm, might well be | the song of the world for the opening of a new era of peace, prosperity and power. It evidently grew out of some recent deliverance, which may well have been, as some have suggested, the destruction of the army of Sen- nacherib. It inspired the psaimist to sing_ of Jenovah as the source of Israel’s protection, place an in the preceding psalm. In the 47th Psalm, which is the first one assigned for our consideration, the wxiter has a viston when all nations will be drawn through the manifestation of His power to worship Jehovah and to join in the chorus of Israel's praise. In the opening verses there is an in- { clination for all nations to accept God as their king because of His divine authority and world-wide dominion. In the recognition of the rulership of a personal God, who in holy love cre- ates, sustains and orders all events, directa all lives and controls the des- tiny of all nations, is the germ of all_missionary endeavor. The writer will never forget the events of Armistice week, which he witnessed in London, the joy of the people over the end of the bitter struggle was seen in the people and parliament uniting in_praising God as the source of their ~deliverande. | Differences in faith and polity were forgotten in the religious services that sought to give expression to the nation's debt to the Lord for their deliverance. About a week previous at a luncheon of the American Club given to the committee on foreign af. fairs of the allied nations parli ments, which were meeting in Lon- don to consider the progress of the war, the chairman of the French committee, made the. statement to those of us who were present, “We have won the war, but we have not won the peace. It will be more dif- ficuit for us to win the peace than it was for us to win the war Five years have gone by and the nations that fought together in a common cause are divided and peace has not come, because they have forgotton to follow the leadership of God, who gave them victory. The only path to peace is through missionary endeav- or that will win the world for Christ and His Church, so that all nations Would recognize God's power and praise His Name. God's Guidance Needed. In the psalm, which is printed in all the lessons for the day.-we have a misslonary psalm that calls for all people to praise God. The 67th Psalm is “in the highest and most spiritual sense, a messianic psalm,” and also 2 missionary hymn. It was an appeal for_divine mercy, but it was not a selfish cry, for it expressed the long- ipg that these blessings should be transmuted and passed on to other people. It recognized their obligation as God's chosen people, whom He had saved by His grace, to carry the news of salvation to all nations. The fruits of missions are seen in the recognition not only of Israel's material blessings, “earth yielded her increase,” but in " the political blessings, “judge the people with equity,” of the chosen nation and of all nations as being the = resuit of their spiritual relationship with God, %o that all peoples and nations pratse gt"r?.s'{é‘fae&’ and gladness for His Looking forward. to that: missionary Drospect, the pealmist sees the duty of God's people to carry out a missionary wouid win the world.

IY GoES ON Joiv Tre ROWING Sunday School Lesson calls men to be saved in order that He may fit them for ce. While our service may find expréssion in worship- ing the Lord in the sanctuary, we are all called upon to consecrate oursetves for the work of missions. In com- munion with the risen Savior we will find strength for His work, so that we will be willing to deny ourselves, make heroic sacrifices o as to win souls for the Christ and His church by a life of service. i No person can do successful mission- ary work either at home"or abroad if he does not recognize and obey Jesus Christ as his Lord and Master. The world is filled with many voices of false prophets and teachers, but there ts only one Savior, who proved His love for us by His life and labor. We ought to recognize that we helong to God by vir- tus of being one of His creatures. He has also Dought us with redeeming the sheep of His pasture.” This fur- nishes us with the motive of missionary endeavor. We ought to serve Him and carry out His program not because we are compelled to scrve Him like alaves, but we should be moved to serve Him because He loved us and gave Himself as a ransom to save us from our sin. Our missionary work should be per- formed with a spirit of joy. Christ was a man of sorfows, vet for the joy that was set before Him he endured the cross and despised the shame. . It is only as we sec the joy of a redeemed world won by the self-denial and sacri- ficial services of the followers of Christ that we can by co-operative effort win the world for the Lord Jesus and His church. The coach of a leading eastern college fool ball team satd last week that the cause of the team’s defeat was the lack of co-operation. He recognized that there was excellent independent work, but they failed to win because they did not follow his directions. The church or Christlan that will not obey the Lord's command is doomed also to e obey the Father's will, as ex- B8 us in the teachi of the Psalmists and_the Christ, we. will be missionary. The democracy that we sought to save for the world Is based upon the fundamental teachings of the fatherhood of God. We cannot preserva the modern democracies of the world if, We fail to have respect for others and’ neglect to do our part to establish the spirit of brotherhood among men and nations. God will not be recognized as the loving Shepherd of mankind until His professed sons live as brothers and try to carry the gospel to the lost. 1f Wwe spent in missionary work and effort only a part, and a very small part at that, of what we spent upon our efforts to prepare for war and win the battles of war. Christianity would be triumph- ant throughout the world and the churches of Christ would be fiiled with w':u_rsghlrxr;:odmmng our Lord and wor- shiping as the loving S| mankind. R et ne Y. M. C. A.
