Rev. ROBERT H. HARPER
THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY
phe caption brings to mind one
of the greatest robberies of
England and of all time. . And it
reminds us that crime does not
pay and that ministers of Justice
arise quickly on the path of the
criminal. Some of the criminals
who participated in the great
robbery have already been ap-
prehended.
Many are the ways in which
criminals are detected. The tak-
ing of fingerprints if they can be
found and many other ways are
used_ to detect and run down the
criminal. And the cooperation of
police throughout the country
and it might be said throughout
the world may bring the offender
to justice. When Jonah thought to
put the whole length of the Med-
iterranean between himself and
God, he found that God is at both
ends of the Sea as he is every-
where in the universe he has
made.
When Moses urged the Israel-
ites to be faithful in a certain
enterprise, he warned them
against failure saying, "Be sure
your sin will find you out." Sin
will find a man out, either in the
glare of publicity before his fel-
lows or in the torture of his con-
science before the God he has of-
fended. So let us cling to the bet-
ter way that shall bring us to a
place on the right hand of God
in the judgment and the appro-
bation, "Well done."
