His first composition was followed
BY a number OF songs. and some ex-

A Sermon for Today
NY REV. JOHN n. GUNS.
Is Life Worth Living {?

Text: There may be many that say.
Who will show us any good? Lord,
lift up the light of Thy countenance
upon us."-Ps. iv.6.
Not only did the Englishman express
his own feelings, but the feelings OF
many others, when he asked the ques-
ton: rs life worth the living?" An
American wit has made answer: THAT
depends on the liver"
Life has It's griefs, trials, disappoint-
ments and hardships, and these have
led some to wrong conclusions -- that
there is no good In the world. that life
Is failure. There we're some In David's
time and there are some in our time
who say who will show us any good?'
They see the ills of life, but not the
good They look always on the dark
side of life, and speak In the language
Of dependency. They, ask. Can life
be blessing? Is 1t not rather a curse?
Would it not have been better never to
have been born?" Life, they tell US. Is
a bitter disappointment. It's prize Is a
will o. the wisp" that eludes the pur.
suer. a mirage that kindles hope. only
to plunge the soul into despair.
It is true that sorrow and disappoint-
ment fill large place In human life
But Gods presence with us makes vast
difference In all this When David
heard men saying, Who will show us
any good?" he cried, Lord lift up the
light of thy countenance upon U.S." But
for the light of His countenance our
lives would indeed be gloomy and dis
NAL But through the shining OF His
countenance upon us light has been
poured into our darkest experiences. In
the light of HIS countenance clouds are
turned into sunshine, fear into faith
despair into hope Life is worth while
to those who know the meaning OF
Gods presence and power.

This is Just a sample of many per-
fectly proper protests. II you are not
convinced, say so. Those who rely on
their own experiences are often conf
dent that while ordinary scientific ex-
plantations apply to all things. or most
things, they don't apply to their own
pet belief.
This correspondent is convinced that
those who use the diving-rod or forked
stick to find water or metals, possess
some peculiar power which we can't
explain, and that the explanation of
unconscious movements on the part Of
the water witch" is not the correct
one. because of the utter impossible
ity" that he could make the rod dip,
whether he dips 1t at the right spot or
not.
It all depends on that utter impos-
sibility," and whether c. II. believes
that there is myterious power here
because of this utter impoSsibility." or
believes 1t utterly impossible" because
he already believes in the mysterious
power. 1t may be the latter and yet
his state of mind may be reached just
as Subconsciously as that which in
duces the water witch" to believe In
his own powers. Whatever deception
there Is self-deception.
This In an old subject. More than a
hundred years ago there was great ex-
element about table moving, or turn
ng-tahles. as the French called 1t.
People rested their hands lightly on a
table and insisted that they exerted no
pressure. Yet the table moved and
they were compelled to follow 1t on Its
violent excursions across the room.
And since 1t was utterly impossible"
that they we're moving the table, owing
to the light contact of the fingers on
the table. and the assurance that they
exerted no force whatever, the thing
was a mystery.
Some believed that the tables were
moved by spirits. But French scien-
tist invented an instrument which
proved that these table witches" were
exerting good deal Of pressure, though
they didn't know 1t. Under the belief
that the spirits we're responsible. code
was proposed that two raps should mean
mo" and three YES" and presently we
had table-rapping and communications
from the beyond. Still later we had
the "ouija board" which was devised
on the principle that this French scien-
tist used to prove unconscious move
ments, but was then perversely used to
prove spirit messages to those who be.
lieved in them and ignored their own
part In spelling the messages.
As means Of fortune telling the
same principle was applied TO the Ro-
mans. The fortune witch" held ball
suspended by thread in and near the
top Of glass, and as the letters were
called out the ball rang out against the
sides Of the glass when the right letter
was spoken. and so the message was
spelled out as O revelation.
Mind reading depends on the same
principle and is really muscle reading
