PERSPECTIVE
LACKING

To the Editor, The Times:
THE trouble with most of US Is,
Il that we lack perspective.
we are trying to view eternity
through the eyes of man. God
is infinite; God is Perfection. We
see His hanaiwork-with our
short sight-in every natural phe-
nomenofl: the growing plants, the
winds. the storms. Everything is
rythmic-accordi to plan.
Nothing is magical nothing Is
mystical.
But we skim along the surface.
We do not pass, with the Bible,
from the Hebrew, to the Persian,
to the Greek, through, all the dif-
ferent translations. We do not
see the word EZRA" become the
word day" and confined to fit
the twenty-four hours of our mar
row lives.
We often hear that there is no
magic in words; but how differ
emily would have sounded, I'm
seven eras God made heaven and
earth" Yet, the translation from
the original text would have been
quite correct, had 1t said, just
that.
The record of how God created
the universe, is more obseure than
another part of the Bible. The
Book of Wisdom tells us to mas
ter the universe. Hence, we must
first know the universe we must
seek; and we must takS what
we find. We must harmonic
tf,iE ~ h. 1nfN 10
aridr--we must help build the flu
ture.'
The Darwin Theory is the out
come of scientific discovery.
Records have been made from
actual findings in geogolgical
strata The evidence of evolution
of plant and animal forms
through the geological ages is an
established fact. We know the
art of the Egypt of 5000 B. c.,
because we find the evidence
buried in the tombs In like
manner, plant and animal forms,
for each period. have been resur-
rected.
Why then, should we insist
that the Almighty Creator, called
everything into being within 144
hours? We see evidence to the
contrary, whenever we dig into The
past, or whenever we regard ma.
ture as it unfolds about us.
God made the universe in His
own waE; but Gods days are not
our days. His Eyes see eternity;
our eyes see a short span of
years.
1t is a backward step to en-
courage disbelief in scientific dis
covery. 1t is like being too wise
to accept the divinity of God.
These two are products of single
track minds travelling in opposite
directions.
Let us find the truth. Let us
find the golden mean. Let us all
believe in God as our Creator:
and let us take the Darwin
Theory for what it's worth--a
faint ray of light on the stages
of development, while the Great
Master was building. Believe both!

surface of the oceans. and gives
it to the winds to be distributed
over the continents. 1t is only
when the unseen vapor borne
from the sea condenses into thick
clouds that rain is formed.
But condensation will not &C.
cur unless the vapor- charged air
is cooled down below its dew
point. And the readiest way for
the air to be cooled is by expan-
sion. If it is caused to rise it
necessarily expands, necessarily
cooIs, and necessarily has it's in
visible vapor turned into clouds,
from which, if the supply is suf-
ficient, the condensed vapor will
fall in showers and sometimes in
devastating floods Of raindrops.
When moist air from the sea
is forced to ascend by being
wind driven against the sloping
sides of mountain, expansion,
condensation of Vapor, and the
birth of rain are forced upon it.
Mountains milk" the clouds and
draw off their moisture in
streams of rain so effectually
that the great ranges of the
Rockies and the Sierras keep
nearly all the, eastward bound
vapor supplied by the broad Pa
cific from crossing their summit
line and so bestow it in fertiliZing
rains on the valleys and plains
OF the Western, coast-bordering
States. 1t was these mountain
l. 4 l. Id
placers OF California.
OF course there are other ways
beside mountain climbing by
which moist air may rise. and so
yield up its vapor in rain. In the
summer time, over hot plains,
meadows anA harvest fields, col
umns of vapOr-charged air rise
because of their expansion by
heat: and then are beheld the
most majestic and sometimes the
most intimidating spectacles that
the blue sky ever displays They
take the form Of high.piled "thun-
der-heads,' and vast dubious
domes of which cumulus clouds
that amaze and fascinafe every
beholder. The vast shafts that
support the rounded SUBMITS are
composed of invisible Vapor. but
far aloft, where they enter an at
nTosphere layer sufficiently cool
to produce strong condensation,
they spread into immense snow
white capitals, looking as hard,
smooth and solid as though
carved out Of Parian marble. In
such clouds thunderstorms are
born.
Along sea shores, too, powerful
CONVERSATIONS of atmospheric
moisture into rain often occur,
though there be no mountains
present. Still it remains true
that the mountains are the great
est rain drawers. But it is rare
to find an isolated peak rising
out of the sea, like Guadalupe, to
present so striking an example
of "cloudtapping" and it's effects
on the earth's vitality.
