Niagara Doomed-To the Service
Of Man.

Just what electricity IS the scien-
lists do not tell us. We assume there
is just one thing in the world and
that is energy. This energy takes
myriad of forms. Man is the high
est produst of energy.
Call il DIVINE Energy, If you wish.
Electricity occupies the tw ght zone
between the spiritual and the physi-
ca. When electric energy s a. last
analyzed, dissected, placed on the M
croscCpc 81 de ard weighed Oh the
scales, it viii be found to be the very
secret of life.
SO far, electricity IS the jealous Sc
cret of Deity.
When man becomes worthy. Deity
perhaps Will share this secret with hi,
Then indeed, VII we "be as gods"
Electricity is the pass ng Ct power
from one form into another. In this
respect it IS method CT transportation
rather than a thing.
The terrestrial programme consists
of simply two items-absorpt4Cn and
d SIS patton, receiving and giving, COM
ing AID going.
Everything is in motion. Through
electri city We transmit energy ,dlv.hln !:
it up into units, using it to run
churn, a sewing machine, a piano. or
to produce heat a thousand times as
intense as combustion supplies.
The limit To electr cal development.
through increased use of electricity
and Electrical appliances, IS absolute
ly beyond imagination.
Up to this time the education NJ
the public to the use of electricity has
been largely a matter of natural Sc
lection"-hit or m ss-catch as catch
can-now you see 1t ard now you
don't.
Electricity through giving us quick
| transportation and instant commun- ca
ton, is binding the peopie Of the
world together in a common bond.
1t looks So if the brotherhood Of man
would not forever be but 4 barren
ldealjty, sung by poets ard prayed for
by preachers.
Behind the idea of brotherhood we
now have commercial organization on
broad, generous, far-reach,ng, friend
~ plane, with ways and means AT its
disposal beyond the dreams of avarlce

Our friends who are fighting TO

Before the ccal is gone, We must
learn to harness this energy and trans
mute it INTO heat alh light and a
power which, without dirt, ashes or

To preserve our Illinois prairie
with it's waving blue upland grass
and forests of resin, used to be my
fond ambition.
But nov, Illinois has been paced
under the dominion of the plow, the
prairies help feed the world. and have
more than once STAYED off starvation
in India, and kept hunger at bay
in Russ Il.
Niagara ard all of our other
great waterways viii be used, of ne
cessity, for the purpose of creation
light, heat and power, with all the
comforts, convenience and luxuries
that man needs for his mental and
spiritual embodiment.
Niagara Falls will not be really
worth visiting until the cunning Of
mans bran has utilized every horse
power of that falling weight, not for
the glory OF God, but for the service
of man.

Jove!
