Toil, sacrifice, pain, disappointment, lossâ€"these take their un- derstandable place, and derive values ines-^ timably precious from the realization of life's relationship to the whole, to the finished product of God's purpose. For the only idea that will give life a mean- ing sufficient to justify it is the idea of God. Leave God out and the whole scheme of life falls into disorder, and your own small portion of it is merely a fragment of anarchy â€"a blind servility or a blind insurgence. Give God His place and you have the pos- sibility for a plan, the means of synthesis for seemingly unrelated phenomena. God ties up the loose ends of life for us. The sense of relationship to Him fills with signi- ficance every other relationship. The most trifling duty becomes an essential duty, and we see that to shirk or to slack, or to in co-operation, is to be disloyal." â€"Fnm mEJitmial in Ik fh»L Methodist Church tette Baptist Church Presbvterian Church St Augustine's Episcopal Church St John's Lutheran Church The First Congregational Church English Lutheran Church
