fetters of blood. To-day we look- ed back on the greatest chapter He had ever written. It had been the marvel of history and would remain the greatest marvel of÷s}} times that Germany did not win the war. She had the advan- tage' of surprise. Nobody expect edwar certainly not HO `soon, and like a bolt from the blue came the realization of Germany's determination. She suddaply rose `and suddenly: struck. She also bad the advantage of being prời pared. Expert in secret prepara- tion while publicly professing. peace Germany had developed her resources and scientific re "search, had controlled her press, -extended bar commerce and had evan built concrete gun platforme in distant countries whose pos- sertion she" aimed at—all the while professing friendship and disarming suspicion. She met an enemy totally unprepared, able to offer only the smallest resistance, feebly equipped, almost devoid of war stores, unprepared for sub- marine warfare, unready to meet her on land or on sea. That Ger. many in these circumstances did not win wan a marvel. A policy of blood and iron was to dominate the world, peaceful neighbours were to be suddenly overcome, large in- demnities were tu swell the Ger- man war chest, militarism was to prove its supremacy.. What bad happened! Blood and iron failed, peaceful and peace-loving neigh- «bours, became victorious in their strength, indemnities must be paid not received, militarism stood discredited before the world. Ger- many's great plans were infallible but for one thing, so overruling justice. Every preparation pro- 'mised success but the Germaus neglected one—to miske sure that
their cause was such that God ́would uphold it. It was a small omission but a fatal defect. Gör- many's power séemed irresistible but "God hath cast down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humblè ́and' meek" By the marvel of His power God had exacted justice when syranny seemed triumphant. God had led us to victory but not an essy victory. That was not God's way. It was well for us to remember the cost to replember to-day the men who fought, all honour to them; the women who worked at home and at the front; the men “who gave their wealth lavishly ; the man who gave their labour, all important and essential: the': people of faith who prayed. Count the cost, said that preacher, and look at what it meant: look into this broken home, see these desolate women, hear the father- less children, look at the graves in France and elsewhere, each cross-telling of a sacrifice and a life laid down. Remember the cost of pasce and we would better remember its value and not to waste it. Those men who died had faith that their sacrifice was worth while. A tremendous responsibility rested upon us. We had purchased peace at a great price! What going to do with it? Were we not going to acknowledge sfresh God's sovereignty? Were we not stirred by God's leading and deliverance? The preacher asked his heaters; to think once more of the great marvels of the War, of Germany's sudden declaration, her violation of Belgium, her ma ch on France, the contemp:ible" armies which held her, Russia's great efforts in the first years of the war, Italy's idealism, the response of the Bri- tish Dominions and Celonies, Ame- [rios's unification for war; then, of the dark days of April-June of last year when our backs were against the wall and the wonder- fal turning of the tide of July. November. Could the's not see some band shaping the destinies of the nations—the Hand of God? Had they not learned that God.ruled in earth and in heaven, that materialism was not a con- quering power, that idealism was not folly, that hops in Him would never make us ashamed, that the Cross still stands as the sign of sacrifice and of power and that this God is our God for ever and fever? In closing the preacher told
