XXVI.-MINISTRY OF MATERIAL THINGS
[By Rev. Eric H. 0. Nye in "West Australian”]
All religions have believers who engaged in a conflict between faith feel material things (things per and the world as it appears; and ceived by the physical schses) to if they endure, their faith is be a hindrance to the development strengthened thereby. This is a of the sense of God and of the re-fact in experience, and cannot be ligious life. Some seek solitude gainsaid.

Recall the Lord's Prayer, and the little petition which Christ has placed in its very heart: "Give as this day our daily bread." This petition shows not only that Christ is conscious min's material need, the need of the body; but that He believes that God supplies that need day by day, One of the striking things about Christ's belief is that appearances are against God having anything to do with "it at all. In the first place, bread does not come miraculously, and people have come to confuse- God and miracles. If a person were healed apparently without means, in answer to prayer, people sky

In All Things Christ would have us know that God is in all things, even the com-
seamed to him to challenge faith, is an ally; that this is in very truth God's world and that Christ rightly interpreted it.
