We honor the man OF whom say-"He does
things We are not very discriminating as 10
whether he does things inherently good, or inherently
bad The James Brothers very popular men
among their neighbors Dick Turpin and
Robin Hood, among theirs in Merrie England They
did things
Napoleon was adored because he did things
without reference TO whether not they were good
or bad! He murdered France and was adored by

Rape OF the Sabine Woman is ratified by con-

ed of Hike the ruthless sons at Romnlns, The
wolf breed conquers by force and love follows-some
sort of love- Dogs lick always the hand OF Bill
Skies.
In all ages and everywhere by universal instinct.
the human being worshps Force For IT is all there
is in the Universe worth worshiping. The instincts
OF men and women always justified in the court
OF last resort--the welfare OF the race.
The Sun has been worshiped more generally and
ntelligently than any other natural OBJECT
The ancient Peruvians possessed the most striking
temple OF the Sun, but Greeks, Romans, Parsees.
Norsemen. Persians and all the rest have been sun
Worshipers. Our day OF worship is still sunday And
IL In really goddess world Science called upon
to choose the things defy. 1t would choose Force
as the god, and could find such adequate repre-
sentation of II as the Sun.
We used to say that In all the universe there are
only two actualities. Matter and Force. We now. by
the radium discoveries find that matter seems to be-
only a form of force So minds are brought TO
confront the apparent proof that there is only one
thing real and that Is Force. If the blind wor-
ship is very close to the intelligent worship
OF God
The springs that every living thing are
wound up by the Protoplasm. the only living
thing on earth has movements These movements
exert force. This force comes from the SUM- All
processes OF lfe from the blow OF the prize fighter
or the thrust OF the lance OF Sir Galahad. to the
thought that is recorded this the blossom
ing of lily the result OF cell activities In plant
or animal and these cell activities all made up
OF impulses from the sun, impaired to the earth
through It's rays
The higher animals of the earth warmer than
their surroundings Their heat Is obtained from In
ner fires kept burning by supplies Of fuel in food An
Eskimo uses whale oil seal or walrus or hsh oil
for fuel In his body--he drinks II and eats 1t He
also burns It for outward heat. We do the same
thingswe eat oils In nuts fat meats, and salad oils
and we burn It In lamps, stoves and furnaces Oils
are merely stored energy from the sun-solar heat
has given atoms certain twist and when this twist
Is freed the resulting kick shows itself In heat So
of sarches sugars and those foods like lean meats
which we call proteds The sun warns us directly;
and indirectly he piles his force into the atoms
OF foods and fuels that we can utilize the power
he poured upon the earth aeons ago.
We ourselves are alive only because the heat units
which our beings make into lfe-force have been
stored In the decks Of good ship Earth and en-
bodied In us We sun-created. We may say we
are composed Of matter and force. The matter ID OF
