If God chooses to use nat ural forces to chastise man for his iniquity He can and hes a perfect right to do so, The seventh plague the Lord sent on Pharaoh, was a hail storm which destroyed his growing crops and killzd 'man and beast in the {open fields; this was the finger of ‘God; and the prophet says God iwill repeat. “Thou shalt be visi ted of the Lord of hosts with thunder and with eafthquake and great noises with storm and tem pest andthe flame of a devouring fire.” Isa., 29-6. I have no hesi tancy in saying that the devasta ting floodg of the West. The des tructive storms which have swept oven many parts of the country and the present continued raiéfl UpoOR our own communities ru img crops, is "The finger of God,” and a premonitofion great distress for the common necessities of life. It pe‘wle make pessimistic condi—‘ tions they have to abide them. { Three years ago when she to baceco growing craze seized .the‘ tobacco growing and cted that the growers would be hit hard sooner or later and now God is setting His seal of approval on my predictions and His disappro val of the business. But tobacco growing is not the only sin God-is displeased with, and for weich His hand of wrath rests upon us. Pharaoh was an agnostic, know ing not God, and therefore would not obey, but our people claim to beheve in God, vet will not ooey, which makes their sins all the greater and more deserving the wrath of God. The awful spirit of worldliness, in various forms, which is posessing the people, is the great sin which bas shut out God and tne lignt of truth. Paul says, "Il our gcspel be hid, it is hid to them that are last in whom the good of this morld hath blind ed the minds of them that believe; not.” 2 Cor, 4-3, 4. God shut out’ by worldliness, “Because where they knew God tney glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vawn in fheir imagina tions and their foolish heart was durkened.” Rom., 121, Never was there a time when the aboye scriptural citations had so general an application, God is making a loud call to re pentance ond for recognition of His honor and obedience to His commandments, “If then I be a father whe=e is my honor? And if] be a master where is my fear?” Mal, 16, “And now | |pny you, beseach God that he will ve gracious unto us,” V 9. ’Will you do this and escape the farther wrath of God. E. F. Dean, Sr. 780 pm.
