to the shining eye of Faith. Within and be-
hind and above both kinds of nature, Faith
finds Third Something, Divine Nature,
which sheds light upon the darkest places.
This is the sweet trouble of the dust; this
is the throb of the worlds life this is the
singing beat and pulse of the universe that
men call Love.
Faith, then binds into one indissolube
tie the following: God, World Soul; or: Di-
vine Nature, Universal Nature, and Human
Nature. All three together are involved in
the tremendous affirmation of Faith. They
cannot be separated. They are subject to the
same laws of the mind. We cannot deny two
and accept one; we cannot accept one while
denying any two. And the reason for this
is that Divine Nature impenetrates all.
There is but One Life-God's; and both HUI
man Nature and Universal Nature are but
manifestations of God; consequently, if we
accept God, we must accept the divinity of
the world and of man as well. Conversely, to
deny the divinity of the world or of man, is
to deny Cod
There is no need to single out the mpera-
tives of Faith in Human Nature above faith
in any other part of reality, since, as said,
all faith has one and the same source, and
resides in objects that are not to be separat-
ed except to the prejudice of faith itself. The
only reason for doing so is that possibly
Faith is tested most severely by human ma
ture For our daily activities bring us into
constant touch with human nature; so that
Its peculiarities and problems, its surprises
and incalculabilities, shock us at every turn
Nor is it an eXaggeration to say that any
shock we experience to our faith in human
nature tends to upset our faith in God
Faith in human nature, therefore, is
tombstone of all faith. Still, there is no 9TH
err law for this kind of faith than for all
Others in this case, too, Faith is a heroic
affirmation. Do we happen to face SEEM
ingly hostile universe that threatens to ov-
erwhelm us by its power? Faith cries, All
things are for the best. Do we happen to be
confronted by misfortune? Faith cries
Even though He Stay me yet will believe
in Him." And similarly, do we happen to
be previously disappointed through human
treachery and deceit? Faith still cries. Man
is created in the divine imagel
Abraham's faith in the corrupt Sodomites
illustrates this point. He believed that even
in this nest of moral foulness human nature
would find noble exemplars. Such mistaken
faith in human nature deserves to be initial
ed. The chief thing is to rise above repeat
ed disappointments, and still assert the re-
alities of faith. We must dedicate our whole
life to the quest of the divine everywhere;
and if we are content to search the whole
world for signs of God, shall we not all the

FAITH IN HUMAN NATURE.

said, | will not destroy it for tens sake" (Gen.
xviii, 1927
Faith is the supreme creative function of
the human mind 1t is the energetic concen-
tration of our powers of affirmation upon
the substance of life. 1t is an emphatic way
of saying Yes in defiance of all the voices
issuing from the dark places of the world
that cry No. By faith alone can the totality
of existence be rescued from vanity and
nothingness. Look out upon the world at
large and what is there to prevent us from
accepting it for what it apparently is: a
heap of troubled lust, that somehow has be-
come the chaotic stage of mans pathetic en-
deavors? Survey the work of man itself
these cities, these warehouses, these homes
that hold him and his offspring for brief
spell; and why not dwell with scorn upon
the ridiculous creature who, having risen
out of the dust, builds himself perIshable
monuments of dust? Nature and human ma
ture in juxtaposition, as when we see sum-
mer-homes along the mighty ocean, or pal
aces ranging alongside of river and noun
tain, seem but to enhance each others flu
Utility. In the one we find brute power, with
out truth or regret; in the other some
strange sensitiveness or organization, which
so pltifully tries to face the cold cruelty of
the universe, and impose its own weakness
upon the elemental strength of the latter:
but how curiously barren all this looks to
the detached observer Now, why not accept
the sober verdict of detached observation.
and laugh at this idle stirring up of dust into
something that bears the empty semblance
OF worth? Why not? Because Faith refuses
to accept this verdict Faith fills the va
cuum 1t throws itself into the hollows of
life. 1t finds worth in the world nay, it
forces worth upon the world. 1t compels the
world to accept the meaning which it as
cribes to existence. Faith, by magic all its
own, raises all things out of the native dust
into the luminous worth of the spirit.
Is this species of self-delusion? No. It
is kind of self-realzation. For without
faith the self even has no value-a conclus-
ion which the self, by all the instincts of it's
own vitality and endurance, refuses to
brook. The Self finds in itself the need for
faith, and thus out of itself it invests the
world with meaning and convent. The self
cannot deny itself, therefore it cannot deny
the universe The self must accept itself,
therefore it must accept the universe.
Therefore is Faith creative, for It brings its
own powers to bear upon the reshaping in
the spirit of the totally of existence To
faith existence and all its accidents, the
world and all is parts, are but raw material,
which Faith with invisible fingers fashions
at will: in accordance, that Is, with its own
highest aspiration. Thus dust becomes more
than dust. Thus Law is raised to Liberty.
Thus the mysterious Something that
troubles the dust-both in brute nature and

 Through unfortunate negligence in the matter of mailing personal invi- tations to all the towns World War veterans to take part in George towns celebration of the Fourth only a few of the service men attended and helped what had been intended to be one of the most prominent and inter esting features of the affair was lacking. Otherwise the celebrate was an entire success and a fine ex- ample of the community spirit whole heartedly manifested. The parading procession of school children, Boy Scouts and decorated autos was more than half mile long and the subse- qUent program of exercises at the ball park during the day and at the school building in the evening went off most satisfactorily. American ism was the theme of the eloquent and patriotic oration delivered by Judge Keough of South NorwaIk. The speaker twas one of the early volunteers for active service and rose to the rank of captain.

Lieut.. Gov. Wilson will de- liver an address and present the medals to the veterans. A ball game between teams of local players is also talked of in addition to the ath- letic competitions previously sched- uled, but unless the youngsters wake up this part of the program will not amount to much as there have so far been very few entries.
