] shall take advantage Of the abb
sence Of the society editor to deliver
a little sermon in this column. For
weeks past humanity has been scan
ming the skyfor signs Of rain and
longing for the refreshing showert.
One was porced to feel his helpless
ness. All mans work this year faile
to yield the necessary supplies be
cause God with-held the rain. Surely
we win learn a lesson therefrom. The
beautiful showers that have refreshed
the thirsty earth this week supplied
water. for man and beast fell like a
benedlctlon on all. The patter Of the
rain was the sweetest music to the
ear. All human powers. faculties and
possibilities are limited. The drouth
has impressed and even oppressed
man with the sense Of human frail-
ty and weakness. Aswe take an en-
iarged view Of the physical universe
We dwlndle into atoms ever In our
own estimation. All weather prognos-
t~icators failed in Their attempt TO
grasp the idea OF cosmlc forces, we
fully realize our nothingness. Measur
ed by what we know, that we do not
know is as infinIty I'd nothing
Therefore Il behooves us all to be
grateful for the rain, and to return
thanks for It. Let us not forget that
that is all that is required Of us. We
don't have to understand.
