Where Does the sky Begln7 There is
a question that has puzzled the mindssof
children, doubtless since the first child
began to wonder at the wonderful things
which surround human life. With wider
application, efforts to answer the same
question have produced PHILOSOPHERS and
religions. Washington GLADDEN., in a book
Of addresses, bearing the question as a
title, does not answer the question, but
suggests way in which everyone may
at least make an approach at an answer
for himself. He reminds his readers that
each mans horizon depends largely upon
himself, and that it widens according to
the attitudes he reaches mentally and
spiritually.
But he goes beyond that and offers
suggestion in keeping with what may
fairly be called a tendency in modern
| thought-that, If the environment which
one sees from the higher attitudes is there
| to be seen under proper conditions. there
must be great faculties In us lying dor
mant," whose cultivation and training will
make the wider vision mans permanent
possession, pushing back the circle where
the sky begins. .- .
| The thought is not new one, but what
| is being pressed with new force, is the
view that the. spiritual faculties can be
ftrained, widening the human horizon per-:

says: "In truth, the law Of the spiritual
| life Is unlike the law Of physical life In
this, that it increases by what it imparts
and lives by what it loses" Applying this
to the miracle Of the loaves and fishes, he
adds: 1--WE can see clearly that this law
rules in the realm of the spirit; but we
are perplexed by the suggestion that 1t
| can also be made to rule in the material
realm. = do not know what will
happen when the day comes that the
whole creation is waiting and longing for
the day when it shall be manifest that
men are the sons Of God. I sur
mise that some things which we now call
miracles will then be mere common
places" =
Dr. Gladden's book is full of suggestive
thought. .-.-r.
