FROM OUR EXCHANGES

Frank N. Riale with contributions from Wyllys Rede, Edwin C. Sweetser

[Christian Work and Evangelist.]

Democracy and the modern church require that all men shall be great. The modern social, industrial, economic problem requires thinking masses, as well as leaders. Here is our danger. There is only one remedy. That is to get back to great thoughts and great books and great sermons and great interests again. The ancient poet was right when he said, "I will meditate in thy precepts." It made him great. Meditation on great truths makes corresponding minds and hearts. The Bible is full of this. The great man is he whose delight is in, not newspapers and cheap magazines and sporting news, but in the law of the Lord, "and in his law doth he meditate day and night." "My meditation of him shall be sweet." Now, the men who move across the pages of the Bible are great and commanding figures. These old sentences are the secret of their greatness. They realized they were children of the eternal Father, copartners with the great God in building the new world. So they thought His thoughts, sought His company, found their chief interest in hearing His Word, and their great enthusiasm and delight in the doing of His will.
