1T pays in thousand ways to be in
line and harmony with things that are
demonstrated to he true. II Is fact
that a certain direction Is always north
and has been the salvation OF every ship
to guide its course by the compass. which
always points In this direction. 1t is a
fact that there was great giant in
steam which for ages lay awaiting to
| be discovered to be made to drive trains
and turn machinery. II Is n fact that
| there has always been a great power
! In coal, which lay in the hllsides of
| PennsylVania waiting to be discovered, to
| heat the house and make steam and do
| thousand other things II ls a fact that
| there has always been an enormous power
! In electricity, waiting for ages to be dis
! covered to he made to drive cars, light
| houses whirl fans. It is n fact that
! there is fortune in almost every weed
| that grows by the road. waiting to be
| discovered to make some one rich I be-
| liere that every disease can be cured
| by son,e weed ie we can only discover

hasn't somewhere an herb growing that

pllshed came from some one stopping to

hadn't we wouldn't have had the loco

think and he discovered the great power
OF electricity.

great losses. The world suffered the loss
OF these great things until these men
stopped to think. This is true of religion.
