time your imagination IS stirred
by some new appeal. you pray.
And every time you pray, you
change.
Prayer is the greatest force in
human life.
Prayer may be good or bad, con.
scious or unconscious, but it is
always tremendously powerful. 1t
is more powerful than food, or
fire or dynamite. Nothing on earth
is more powerful than prayer.
So every wish that passes
through your life changes you.

A bit Of simple arithmetic shows
just how 1t occurs. Thus the crawl
tative force of the sun is about
rs 100000 times that of the moon.
But the suns mean distance FROM
the earth is nearly 400 times as
great as the moons. Square 400
and you get 100000. which is the
advantage that the moons near.
ness gives it over the sun as far
as direct pull on the earth is con.
cerned. On the contrary the SUMS
advantage through its greater
mass is $4,000 900. Divide this by
10000 and you get the actual
superiority of the suns direct pull
about 162 to /.
But to. compare the tidal pull
we must cube 400. getting $4,000
600 as the moons advantage on
the score of smaller distance. and
this divided by 26 900 900 shows
us that. in tidal force. the moon
Is nearly two and one half times
superior to the sun. These are
all only approximate figures.
