time when bis nation was jahreatened by the chaldeans habak fcnk won his way through doubt to ann falh for one thing the mili tary aggressor was temporary whereas the god whom he worshipped was from everlasting to everlasting with out discounting the exploits of great military conquerors their day is short compared with the hero of eternity lllis was a distinctive quality in he brew faith the shifting of political power were considered of less vital importance than the directing will of god who has a purpose for the ages habakkuk s faith foruffi future of his- own country depended upon his belief m the unseen god who had given his country a great mission in the eyes of the prophets the holding of terri tory or the winning of battles was of iwa importance than fidelity to moral standards habakkuk was supremely concerned with the principles that would govern the inner life of indl tlduals and so make possible an out ward society that would have stability and s so in this jresent war there are far reaching issues at stake upon which the very future of human ty depends that is why thinking people remain steady even when the days news is adverse amid tempor ary set backs and with an uncertain future there is faith that god rules that evil defeats itself and that right ja worth the utmost sacrifice winning or losing only such a faith is ade cjuate in days of testing social justice 13 15 habakkuk like all hebrew prophets believed in the worth of individual people he was pained to see wealth gained at the expense of submerged classes military power won by reck seas sacrifice of life or political success through deception of people with the psalmist he believed that man ha been made a little lower than the angels and he grieved to see human beings degraded to the level of creep ing worms as we look out upon the modern world we too must be dissat isfied to know that millions of people bave suffered through unemployment that over half the people in the world are in

profit and the re wards are great dictators can be ruled by ambition and changing maps show that they have their toward amusements or social customs whjch debase mankind can produce great commercial gains but education and religion are motivated by ideal ends to work for the growth of knowledge the preservation of peace the way of love does not bring the immediate and tangible returns comparable to the seizing of a nation or the creat ing of a monopoly there is today an idolatry of commerce and of war be- cause of the profits yet in the end education and religion must supply the spirit whereby any possessions can ever be secure the watcbtower 1 habakkuk thought of his public ser vice as that of a watchman on a tower reporting news from god and speak ing to his fellowmen in our civilisa tion this function is served by the press whch collects news and gives editorial judgments statesmen exa mine the trade returns- and popula tlon trends of the nation and advo cate policies suited to changing needs patriots express themselves in poems speeches bongs and pictures keeping alive the soul of the nation every minister should be as a watchman re laying messages from god to man how is it that with the discerning service by parliament press and pulpit we have so little unity and co operation why is it that leaders do not command greater confidence in their followers is it not for lack of confidence in the ultimate morality the social conscience of hp nhryj prophets teaches us to take a longer view the vision 2 4 at this time when the international outl is dark beyond words we must still have ratth progress often comes through pain out of conflict high purpose may emerge there is no evil so bad that some good cannot be brought out or it in spite of the vanity cruelty and stupidity of man the future is bright civilization 1 passing through throes of suffering but students of history and religion dare to hope that a fairer dawn will break god has something better for our world than mankind has yet known and the eternal loe will give his greaur blessing to man when we ore ready to use his gifts unselfishly ind purposefully the vision of chris tian people of a good
