From the November 30, 1918 issue of the Christian Science Sentinel

The St. Louis (Mo.) Republic

We are supposed to be a Christian people, supposed to have inherited and to be maintaining that faith in God which inspired the Pilgrim Fathers to brave the dangers of the uncharted ocean and the uncertainties of a country unsettled and occupied with hostile peoples. If we were asked individually whether we have faith in God, whether we believe the Scriptural teaching of His omnipresence and loving care, we would almost unanimously answer, Yes. If we were asked whether we believed anything could overpower that omnipotent omnipresence and nullify that care, we would with equal assurance answer, No. Yet the majority of us are going around in dire apprehension of being overtaken by something we cannot see, the terror of which is largely in its name. We are not manifesting one one-hundredth part of the courage of the boys we have sent overseas to make the world safe for that democracy through which the spiritual ideals of humanity find readiest expression.

 

He's Got the Whole World in His Hands

"Hey everyone. This is the video version of a song my wife Wendy Remington recorded at home and played as the solo during our church’s online service (the lyrics will be familiar, with an added verse from Psalms 33:5; Wendy wrote the music and plays the piano) – a fitting message during this challenging time."  From Eric Nelson
