gtod based on the emblem of the 8th window in the series the signs of the first and last letters of the greek alphabet alpha and omega these would- probably be suggested by the scripture verse in revela tion 18 i am alpha and omega the beginning and the ending satth the lord which is and which was and which is to come the almlgh- ity the same everlasting god isaiah speaks about in his 40th chapter hast thou not known hast thou not heard that the ever lasting god the lord the creator of the ends of the earth fainteth not neither is weary there is no searching of his understanding in his meditation rev john m smith pointed out that the ever lasting god was too great for us to understand fully or describe yet our christian faith assures us as isaiah and john that he is a real ity in our world and universe bt thfsf thing did lust han- pen that the everlasting god is behind and in them all that he is the creator of these things the creator of the ends of the earth who sustains us not only in our material things but who giveth power to the faintand lncreaseth strength to them that hath no might but though we may know all this about him it is still little to us unless we know him as a personal spirit one who can com mune with us and we with him he has placed within us something much greater than our physical bodies our soul or spirit call it what you will something which reaches out to our god and him to us through it in a realm high er than our material life and above this he is sovereign lord of the universe he has created we sometimes question this when we think of the state of our world but we need to remember that he does not wish to make us mere puppets he has given us the discernment to know that which is good and that which is evil also the power to choose which we will serve he has exhorted us to do good he has taught us that evil brings dire con- sequences so until we choose to follow his way of good we can not have the world we would like even the world he desires we need to remember that he is also a righteous judge with the free will he has given us and the nature we have developed any other would bring utter ruin and disaster to our world spare the rod and spoil the child applies even in gods realm he must be just for our own good for the good of others and for the ultimate good of his world so as we are told the mills of god grind slowly but they grind exceedingly small but with his righteous judgment we know he is a loving father ready to forgive when we recognize our guilt con fess bur wrongdoing and our pen itence is sincere like as a father pitieth his children so does god with us how can we be so sure of gods nature we relieve he is revealed to us in jesuis from the early ministry of jesus until his death he sought to teach us very definitely that he was revealing the nature of god to us in the ex ample of his life in all his say ings about his father if we would know god we should ste him in jesus in his love and kindness forgiveness and sacrifice even in his righteous indignation but pro bably greatest in the spirit of his last tragic hour on the cross when he said father forgive them- for they know not what they do truly the spirit of the everlasting god the choirs anthem was pratee ye the father also a solo by ruth fvans bless this house the eyening service was conduc ted by the young peoples fellow
