usually operate in spectacular
ways. God works in history as he
works in nature, out of sight, visi-
ble to the eye of faith but seldom if
ever otherwise. History, from the
Christian point of view, is the work-
ing out of the purposes of God.
The pattern Is not entirely
clear to us, because we cannot
see enough of it at once. Hut
looking back through history,
sc can sec signs that God has
been there. This Is the message
of the prophets of Israel, es-
pecially of the great Isaiah.
In a troubled era, when every-
thing seemed to be in most com-
plete confusion4 Isaiah gave out
some clear and plain truths from
God. and helped men then and now
read the pattern of God’s design.
• 8 8 8
The Life Of A Nation
pN’ii TRUTH is that justice is a
nation's life and sin is a na-
tion’s death. God being the God of
justice, his purpose is to sat justice
in the earth. God plays no favorites
among nations. Any nation that
lives by God’s laws, lives; the na-
tion that defies God has signed its
own death warrant. There are no
peoples who can “get by" with
what’ they please, if what they
please is not the will of God. There
are people now who do not believe
that. They would say, Look at Rus-
sia! In Isaiah's time there were
tiiose who would say to Isaiah: You
must be wrong—look at Assyria 1
There is a nation that does not
know God, and yet grows every
year stronger and stronger.
• • •
I God’s Ax
tSAIAH has a startling answer to
l that objection. (Chap. 10.) As-
syria is a tool in God’s hand, no
more. He admits that Assyria has
no standard but force, she worships
only sheer Power. But there ore
other nations, wicked ones, which
God intends to punish; one of these
is the nation of Israel.
Assyria was destined to de-
stroy Israel once and for all,
and to damage Judah so se-
verely she never would recov-
er. All thU, Isaiah says, Is In
God's plan.
God does not punish an evil na-
tion with legions of angels; he
punishes it with invasions and de-
feats in war. Assyria was an ax in
the hand of God, cutting down the
rotting trees of selfish and unjust
nations.
• • •
Return To God!
tjEOPLE in Isaiah's time were
* putting their trust, Just as we
do nowadays, in alliances, pacts,
international combinations of all
kinds. Isaiah warns ominously that
this will not do, by itself. Not that
all alliances are bad; in chapter 19
he actually pictures Assyria. Egypt
nnd Israel as brothers-ln arms.
But he does not hold out any
political scheme or combina-
tion as the best hope of a na-
tion. Return to God! ta the
prophet’s call. 8o In our time,
whether It be a general Mac-
Arthur or a theologian Brun-
ner.
Many of our ablest men are
warning us even now. that humani-
ty ls facing an alternative; Either
go on the way of selfishness and
war down to destruction, or else
go back to the Source of justice,
truth and love, the God tn whom
alone ls salvation.

Fall is Best
Travel Season
The mellow fall season, with
its colorful foliage and cooler,
zestful weather, is practically
perfect for all kinds of pleasure
trips, said Frank Tibbetts, Traf-
fic Manager of Southwestern
Greyhound Lines. Mr. Tibbetts
also pointed out that more and
more people are becoming aware
of the wide variety of trips that
are especially enjoyable in the
fall months.
“People have done se much of
their traveling for so long in the
summer months that they have
completely missed the many
distinct advantages of travel
during the colorful fall season,”
Mr. Tibbetts said today. He add- I
ed that when people were once I
made aware of the increased
pleasure of such things as cooler
weather for traveling, a much
wider choice of hotel and resort
accommodations, plus the more
colorful scenic beauty in the
fall, they would discover the
autumn months to be a parti-
cularly enticing travel season.
Mr. Tibbetts also emphasized
that people have not yet realized
the many varied places to go
and exciting things to do in the
fall—like seeing a big football
game, going back home to visit
the old folks, going on a hunt-
ing or fishing trip, taking the
family to a Fair having a gay
time in the big city—or even
taking a second honeymoon trip.
Mr. Tibbetts then went on to
say that this fall Greyhound
has made special plans to pro-
vide a maximum of service to
take care of the expected in-
crease in fall travel. "In this
respect,” Mr. Tibbetts stated,
“Greyhound is extending many
of its Expense-Paid Tours into
the months of October, Novem-
ber and December. Charter buses
are being made available for
group activities.” Emphasis was
placed on the fact that Grey-
hound is gearing its entire na-
tionwide facilities in every way
to serve travelers who prefer
fall for the most travel enjoy-
ment.
