FAITH GREATER THAN

BY THE REV. CHARLES STELZLE.
CStaff Writer on Religious ToplcsJ
The just shall live by faith"
Perhaps you'd rather have 1t reud:
The just shall live by reason
But if you were to open the pages
Of history. you would find that while
reason is a pretty good general guide,
it is far from being infallible
Reason said that the world was
Hat. and Augustine. who was a great
church father, declared that there
could be no men on the other side of
the earth, with their feet pointing
toward US"
Reason said that the sun moves
around the earth. and those who In
sisted that the earth instead OF the
sun moved were pronounced "heret-
les"
Reason said that it was impossible
to build a steamship to cross the
ocean, and it was 'sCicntIlically'
demonstrated that it could not be
done
Reason said that no man could
travel faster than thirty miles an
hOur-it would Kill him-hut today he
travels comfortably more than one
hundred miles an hour
Reason said that it was Impossible
for a man to fly through the air. but
the other day an aviator few across
the ocean.
Reason said that no man could ever
travel under the water, but subma-
rinCs are now commonly used
Reason said that lightning was
mans enemy. destroying his property
and killing his body. but man has
Z harnessed the lightning and made it
his servant.
Reason is responsible for nearly all
the things we scorn or laugh at ana
reject today. for reason at one time
said that they We're dependable and
true.
But faith was the anchor and hope
OF every great inventor; it WAS the
basis OF every worthy conflict: it was
/ the foundation Of every crusade that
| brought redemption to mankind.
Now faith IS the substance OF
. things hoped for. the evidence or
things not seen" said the writer OF
Hebrews
''Throuch faith we understand that
the worlds were framed by the woru
OF God. SO that things which are seen
were not made of things which do
appear.
And what shall say more? For
the time would faIl me to tell of Gid

SamUcl. and of the prophets:
''Who through faith suhdued king

"QuenChed the violence of fire. es-
cared the edge Of the sword. out OF
