MR.. WENDLING'S lecture
ON unseen REALITIES"

Unseen Realities" was the subject
of the lecture by George L. Vending
in Grace NJ. Z. Church last night.
Tonight Mr.. Vending, who is regard
ed as one of the best lecturers ever
heard in Wilmington, will discuss
Saul of Tarsus." The lectures are
free, and are being largely attended.
In the course of his lecture last
night Mr. Vending said:
The doctrine that there is noth-
ing in the universe but matter and its
properties is called materialism. and
materialism is the notable message
which the nineteenth century de-
livered to the world. The farthest
reaching voices of the century that
has just passed are the voices of
Darwin, Spencer. Tyndall, Huxley,
and their fellow workers in scientific
research. They we're marvellous men,
and they we're in the main conscien-
tious men But / note the culmina-
tion of that old movement and
hail the advent of the new. The twen-
tieth century will hea~ a higher mes
sage and will heed it, AS the nine
teenth century recedes and the
tumultuous controversy subsidies, the
ancient question recurs with renew
ed solemnity and force: Can you find
rational foundation for a belief in
the Supernatural? After all, is there
anything in life, and nature and his
tory to convince the wayfaring man
and the thinker that over and against
the material stands the spiritual? l
honor the materialist for his patient
work and wonderful discoveries, but
have come to say that this world
is the theatre of many activities
which lie beyond the reach of the five
senses, that the most potent forces
come from unseen centres, and that
our civilization is based on unseen
realities.
There is not a great poem, nor a
great novel, nor a great painting, nor
a great musical composition that is
not permeated with q sense of the
supernatural, or linked in some way
to the domain of unseen realities.
| Sincerity honor, courage, and the all
/ conquering power of love which
makes man only a little lower than
the angels. these are among the un-
seen powers which make human life
| of such dignity that one can share the
J feeling of the ancient patriarch, who
said in the Book of Job, The Spirit Of
God hath made me and the breath
of the Almighty hath given me life.'
| But greatest Of all the Unseen Real
ties, the most wonderful, the mast
influential, the most powerful, is
the Goldman, the Man-God, the i'm
maculate Christ, who has marched
with slow and stately tread across
the realms and across the ages, and
is the dominant influence of our
twentieth century civilization"
