DIR. WICKS PRINTS
SOME MORE THOUGHTS

DIR. Frank S. c. Wicks, pastor of
All Souls Unitarian Church, prints
the following in his church bulletin
"Is man the architect of the
edifice in which he lives, or is he
but the creature of fate, his
character fixed by heredity and en-
vironment, his every movement
dictated by a power external to him
self and beyond his control? This
is the debate of the ages. The truth
is that we are both bond and free.
1--WE cannot disentangle ourselves
from the great web of nature; we
cannot sever ourselves from hui
mainly the threads that bind us to
our ancestors cannot be snapped; we
live in a world whose brute forces
will not yield to our wills. To this
extent We are bond.
There are limits beyond which
we cannot go. we do not know what
these limits are, so that in our prac-
teal living we must not think of the
limits. We must live as if we were
free.
1--WE cannot separate ourselves
from heredity and environment, but
we can determine our relation to
them. They are necessary founda-
lions and materials, but we can
choose what we shall build upon and
with them.
Each of us sits al the loom of
time and weaves his own web. We
did not make the loom, spin the
threads, dye the colors. but we do
determine the pattern.
Life does not begin with fate, but
it grows steadily toward it. We
spend a third of our lives doing
thing in certain ways. and after we
have done something a number Of
times it becomes a habit, and fixed
habit is fate. Our only hope is that
we can form the habit of forming
new habits, and we can, if we keep
on growing"

The International Uniform Sunday
School Lesson for July 10.
BY VIM. K. GiIroy, d. d.

by WIN. IL. UllrOy, ~. ~.
Editor of The Congregationalist
r. YSTRA was a city of Lyca-
onia, but we need say little
- concerning the place, for it's
sole Importance for the modern
world centers in the fact of Pauls
visit there.
The incident in the lesson reveals
the background against which the
Gospel has made it's conquest OF the
world. Ignorance and superstition
have been its foes, as well as sin
and ill-will.
Paul stands here, as elsewhere, as
the man of intelligence, freed from
the superstitions of his time, lay
ing an emphasis upon knowledge and
sound intellectual attainment that
might we'll be emulated by modern
Christians everywhere.
The ignorance and superstition OF
these people of Lystra proved en-
barrassing to Paul and Barnabas.
When a man who, had been long a
cripple found power to walk through
Paul's faith the people were not only
astonished, but they were convinced
that the gods had come down to
them in human form.
They called Barnabas Jupiter, and
Paul, as he was the spokesman, Mer-
GURUS or Mercury. The matter went
so far that the priest Of Jupiter
brought oxen and garlands to the
gates. intending to make sacrifice to
the supposedly. celestial visitors.
PauI's Opportunity
The occasion gave Paul a great op-
portunity to enforce the truth con
corning the living God, but the IN
cident later nearly cost him his life
With strange perversity mankind
for the most part has sought to ex
plain life's mysteries by fantastic
theories. How natural, 1t would
seem, to see in the circumstances OF
life the evidences Of a spiritual Re
ing! Yet man has devised almost
all sorts of ways of accounting for
life and its mysteries, except belief
in n spiritual God.
How simply, and clearly, Paul eX
pounds the evidence Of Gods rela
ton to His world He is the maker
of all things, and the giver and up
holder of all life. He has suffered
the nations to walk in their own
ways. He has not forced men tc
recognize His power.
Nevertheless he left not himself
without witness. in that he did good
and gave us rain from heaven, and
fruitful seasons. filling our hearts
with food and gladness."
But people do not like to have
their theories upset, especially, by
anything direct and simple. They
held to their notion that the gods
had come down even in spite OF
Pauls word, so that with difficulty
he and Barnabas persuaded them tc
refrain from sacrifice.
But alas for those whom super
stition defies! The gods of the
moment are soon not even treated
as men.
The miracle is forgotten. and the
tickle and ignorant Lystrans are SC

WOMEN WATCH WINDOWS
not LAB0RERS AT WORK

crack in the boarding shutting out
some excavation work being done by a
night shift.
On the other hand, most women pay
no attention, beyond a mere glance at
such work which holds an attentive
male audience. Asked why, women re-
ply that they are not interested in
mechanical things. That they can
see no sense in watching a crowd of
laborcrs perform their duties. That,
not being familiar with the mechanics
involved in mighty hoists, cxcavators
or huge steel Orders, towering high
in the air, they do not hold their at
tention.
Again they do not care to loiter
around where a crowd of men are
on a public street. 1t just isn't
done" Besides the show windows
are too full of more interesting and
attractive things that appeal to a
woman.
So we have the strange paradox.

Isn't human nature funny.
No wonder the psychologists have
much material on which to predicate
their highbrow opinions, and many
times their curious quirks of reason
ing have a basis of truth that puz-
zlcs the ordinary man IN the street.
For instance. Why is it that when
ever and wherever there is some con-
struction work going on you will see
a crowd of men watching, but you
rarely ever see woman in tn"
crowd? Yet, since Eve, woman has
been charged with having the curiosity
impulse more highly developed than
man.
But the exceptional woman has her
curiosity more highly developed than
the man and will go to greater pains
to satisfy it. One woman, who had
her curiosity aroused to high pitch,
delayed and held up traffic on one of
the main streets of San Antonio one
night while she attempted TO maneu
yer her car so as to see through n
