A REPLY TO NOiAiaN TAYLOR :'[ BY PEHER BLOSSOM.


- '


-A: man .Taylor,'In his “ Friday .Night Thoughts,’’ 'had something to.say about the : ’‘Rjeligion and. Life Campaign,” which was.' held at Blackburn. He made statements'which must.:riot be allowed .to' pass Into, the public'mind without some comment and correction. 'I He''said,“ .,We 'try to see the reason

■world made perfect.” Now the infeC- ence of such a remark is that man cannot be responsible :for,our present evils'-and that' if Ithefe'llb';a Supreme Being it is His. duty to relieve the tragic situation by. ■vyorking' a' miracle. Second .Thoughts, however,’would have saved Norman Taylor from falling Into this.false conclusion;


; this' age ,we see that they spring from toiir factors.


when we consider the sufferings of ,


Dr. Fosdlck in his great book, “Living, ■finder Tensioa”- (which your contribu­ tor would do Well to peruse)[Works the factors out. .1'mention them briefly. First, the,law-abidingness of.the uni­ verse.' How much trouble comes, froiri thatl- If vve, break the'laws of Nature, we suffer. Second, the evolutionary, nature of the world; • .-W


•liabUitles as , well; as . the assets. How much tragedy comes from th a t! Surely,' then, ,if • Norman Taylor were God for a slhgle;hoilr he wpuld not eliminate from the. World these four factors I As Dr. .Fpsdick says, -“Every- ihing worth -while in life also crimes from these Iphr; factors-' -whence its itr^edies spring.’’I j . j : . X ,


The power can be rnttitsed. How much evil comes from that! Fourth, we are riot set like bottles in the rain ln.soUt- ary,tondurance of loiir. fatfe. We flow into one another, i We' inherit the bad as well as the good. We share the

Moreover,;if Norman Taylor is puzzled about the' miracles of Biblical times, " those ^Isolated., examples', of: concern


for others,” he cahr^get many of his doubts resolved if 'jhe will [take' the trguhle to- read ihrough soin'e' of the


■'writings;^ 'chrlsliah scholars',' e:g.'-“Ihe. Faith ■ that. Rebeisf; by Cairns,


. 2 Norman Taylor further' suggests


this way, He was t|old. He would sokf to sovereignty lh thClr :heaffs"and cbh- riuer the -world. Jesus refused. . He knew that-you capnot force faith'in men who are not' morally disposed to believe, ^ the-absence of that. He said in a parable,: (not’ even'a.metoen-- ger from the dead;' would - convince them. If there. -was divine interven­ tion-.to-day,, would men [ become more] godly and less sinful and selfish? T .doubt it. But seeing 'Is believing I am; told,, I answer, ho,: It] isn’t.' It is


that given .divine ]-Intervention' ■ men would then, by such: h .sign, reveal the interest 'in religiori that the promoters of j the .-Religion and; Life week desire. Now, would they? In the days'of Jesus men sought: such signs.; He was temp­ ted toXdazzle themXhy' miracles. In


-believing that Is' seeing. Spiritual things are spiritually ;dlscemed. . The [natural .man, knoweth them not. ... If God . is working 1 amid ithis present tragedy and I believe He is, it is our sin and not our j righteousness He is jusing, i'.,' "- ■


■


■i 3 After .giving some of the parsons a pat on-the back Norman Taylor, pro­ ceeds to say that* “,m ’

Truly, “the god of this w'orld hath iblinded the mtods of them which believe-iI6t, lest , the light of'ithe'glorious gospel of Christ, Who is'the Image of God, should shine unto them.”! The Cliurch sees tod much: that: is: why some men will have noth­ ing toido with it.' I It-witnesses to the. fact : that, life has Its serious side ; that man Is not merely a material andi economic, creature but a moral and isplrltual being j; and that he does not live, by bread only, fhe Churth is challenging a h d 1 uncomfortable to
