Science

Z The majority Of all scientific discov-
cries and inventions made by man are
used by him, in one way or anotheE,
in killing bis fellow man.
Warfare makes more vigorous and
efficient use of science than does
peace. If it were not for other scien-
tific discoveries, principally in medi-
cine and surgery. the World War, with
its new methods, would have wiped
out entire nations. AS 1t is, despite
greater efficiency in killing, the per
centage Of deaths in warfare has
grown constantly less. AS methods Of
killing grow. so do protective meas
ures But the greatest saving of life
has been in prevention of sickness and
in care of the wounded.
At the battle Of Waterloo, In 1918.
9 900 artillery rounds were fired, hay
ing total weight of thirty-seven tons.
On one day in the World War the
British alone fired $4,000 rounds.
$4,000 tons. Yet the per-
centage Of deaths was greater at
Waterloo. The figures may be en-
tirely changed in the next war, how
ever, because Of the great advance In
the use Of chemicals. whereby not
only soldiers, but entire populations
may be killed.

Power in Prayer

Read Mt. 7:7-14. Text: TT. Ask.
and it shall be given you; seek, and
ye shall find; knock. and 1t shall be
opened unto you.
IAN the varied years of human
life are calculated to develop enlarg-
ing capacity for praying. The long
history of life in the earth shows
that God has been wanting men to
find out the laws of the physical and
psychic world and to learn how to
work with him in the use Of physical
and psychic force for the common
good"
MEDITATION: In urging his
disciples to seek God. Jesus assured
them that they would receive that
which their souls needed most. This
IS not saying, but what the search
may be long and the seeking multi
pied and the knocking continued
until we are prepared to make the
greatest use Of that which God has in
store for us.
PERSONAL QUESTION: Have 1
grown this year through. prayer?
PRAYER-O merciful God, help us
to believe that if we lose sight of
Thee it is because we turn our eyes
from Thee Save us from being
easily discouraged in seeking Thee.
4,et us feel about us the inspiration
of Thy presence. Amen.
