Dear Editor:
Yes it is a grand spirit when
one knocks on. your door to say
how do you do. We have your
name on our sick list. May we
come in? This is exactly what
happened last week at my house
and I must say words cannot ex
press my appreciation for the
visit. Rev. Brooks to you and
your members keep up that
spirit and you will grow and
grow. Do come again. Mrs. Brevy
E. Miller.

What Trusting God Means
Isaiah taught his people that
trust in God was the one strong
foundation to the security and
prosperity of their nation. What
he meant by that was nothing
magical or miraculous, but some
thing very practical. He met King
Ahaz when that monarch was pre
paring Jerusalem to resist an at
tack in which the odds seemed
very much against him. At the
moment the king was checking the
water supply which, of course,
was vitally important to a city
about to be besieged. No doubt he
had already made a careful census
of the number of soldiers he could
rely upon and had listed the
weapons in the armories. Now
what Isaiah wanted him to do was
to reckon on God as the great
est help he had—to count him in
as a practical force. City walls*
spears, shields, soldiers, a good
supply of water—these were good
things. Isaiah did not deny that.
But to count only on these things
without any reliahce on God was
foolish, utterly foolish. For God
was all-powerful and of far more
importance than the highest walls
the strongest armies, the best
armed soldiers that Ahaz could
possibly hope to have. To Isaiah
trusting in God seemed only com
mon sense.
Suppose a young man’s father
had put a million dollars in a
bank for him to use whenever he 1
needed it. Then suppose that
when an emergency arose, this
man anxiously counted the money
he happened to have in his pock
et, looked around to see how
much he could get for his auto
mobile, to see how large a mort
gage he could put on his house,
inquired whether any of his
friends could lend him money,
and was quite scared and fright
ened, but never thought of draw
ing money out of the million dol
lar bank account. Would you not
think of him as a -foolish fellow,
even more than a little below
avei*age in intelligence?
Ahaz was a religious man, who
claimed to believe that God was
the protector of his people, and
yet he acted as tho God was quite
powerless. He was frightened,
and frightened without any real
cause, for, as Isaiah told him, the
attack upon him was the last
flicker of effort by two kingdoms
which were just about to fade out
altogether. Isaiah was trying to
get him to make his religion of
practical use to him in this time
: of emergency. The prophet knew
by his own experience that trust
' in God means a clear head and
| an untroubled heart, it means
steady judgment and unwavering
courage. But Ahaz was quite
shocked at the idea of relying on
God in such things as the forma
tion of national policies. Religion
to him was a matter which did
not have to do with the actual
daily work he had to do.
