Gods prince, or Gods capable man, And
| while 1t might be interesting for us to
pursue the study Of Jacob aud see the
sources OF his power as a prince Of God,
yet we shall rather study the question of
power, prevailing power i'll the hope that
somehow, AS speaker and rs hearers, as
young men and as young women, we may
| grasp Ill some measure the wondrous
| secret that shall make us Gods princes,
prevailing with God and with man. We

or the manifestation Of power--in the
| physical realm, i'll the intellectual realm,
In the moral or soul realm. In speaking
OF mighty powers, our minds turn in.
stinctly to the mighty forces of nature
We think Of the lightning's flash, and
the thunder, which seems to start high up
Ill the heavens and to descend deep into
the earth, or Of the storm that snaps Of
the trees and leaves everything clean in
its sweeping path, or VIC think of the
mighty power Of the earthquake tina
rocks the earth and makes us all trcmble,
because that upon which we have always
relied can no longer be depended upon
But far more interesting to lne and ia,
greater is the power that we find III the

constantly acting forces of nature, the
power of the breeze, not as it circulate.

wonderful still than that is the powe,
that we have i'll this silent process o.
gravitation and cohesion, which keep.
up the relation Of the physical forces oi

of the sun as the unit of it all-the source
Of it all-the sun.
| MIR. Watson here gave graphic ant
beautiful description of the power O
sunshine, Of the transmitted power Of III,
sum- how it stores up energy, of the force
stored up i'll the black diamond Of In,
earth, and how this latent force can onl,
be made active by The intelligence 0
man.
Mighty, therefore, we see, are tn
forces Of merely physical character
Vast are these mighty physical forces
But i'll the study of the value of forces
Tor there is a relative value about them
vast as are these forces. wonder full as the
are, vaster far and more valuable is th
force that we find exercised by the in
teliect OF man. Because brain processe
seem to be easy, because the thinker
seem to have an easy time, men do no
think Of that as hard work. 1t Is not a,
