pain is dreadful burden. But the bat
tie to get rid of it is one of the noblest
fights our race can wage and one that
brings out some of the finest human
qualities.
You urge that your prayers have
never been answered. Have you prayed,
not for what you want. but for what
God wants in you? If not, try that
kind of prayer. Have you ever prayed
for courage, strength and vision, or
that a holier life may be yours, with
power in it to overcome self and sin?
If not. pray for these blessings until
God seems as real to you as you are
to yourself. If, on the other hand, you
have thus prayed and realized the I'M
speakable grace and help of His pres
ence, your prayers have been answered.
Until we pray, not for our own way,
but for Gods way in us, we have not
learned how to pray.
@. Can you recommend book for a
mems Bible class, most of whom like
reading and are intelligent artisans?
They have asked for one which deals
with the scientific account of creation.
A. The volume for these men is THE
Universe Around U.s." by Sir James
Jeans. 1t is truly great book, inspir-
ing numberless reflections in its read
ers and giving them the impression
that the author wrote it as a labor of
love Thanks to his immense knowledge
and prolonged experience as mathe-
matician and a thinker, he has been
able to take advantage of the rapid de-
velopment of astronomical observation. II
Is plain that Sir James keenly relishes
the task of explaining the marvels OF
the cosmos to the average man. These
are transmitted in novel fashion and in
terms all can understand.
When, for example, one learns that
| "for all but a five-hundredth part OF
its long journey the light by which
we see the remotest visible nebula OF
space travelled toward an earth as yet
uninhabited by man." ones only re-
spouse Is a wondering silence. Just as
it was about to arrive" continues Sir
James, man sprang into being on earth
and built telescopes to receive it."
The temptation to quote further from
thoroughly scientific work which
makes many so-called physical miracles
appear clumsy in comparison, is re-
strained by the desire that you should
obtain and carefully study its entranc-
ing pages. The book has received q
chorus of praise from critics of every
school, the loudest notes of which are
struck by some religious weeklies. What
can be the end and aim of this incom-
prehensible display of stupendous power
and wisdom is the question uppermost
| in the readers mind.
Sir James intimates that when the
20-inch telescope is built billions OF
stars may be photographed. To pass
from the infinitely big to the infinitely
little only increases the mysterious
grandeur of creation What if there is
no such quantity as dead, inert mat
ter? If every atom is vital, instinct
with actual or potential force. sensitive
to its environment, who need be sur
| prised? Verify, science is baffled by the
vastnesS of its own discoveries. The
gertrude it formerly promised has van
! ished. 1t is now too near to the in
applicable to dogmatize.

defended His disciples and removed
from His followers the burdensome and
cumbrousness of rabbinical Sabbath,
a type and foretaste of heaven" In
the synagogue, He defended His right
and duty to heal men upon that sacred
day of rest. In His proclamation of re-
ligious liberty Jesus did not oppose OBJ
servances which aided in commemorate
ing religious events or promoted help

rules of procedure that gave no place
for the development of the spiritual
life. Let us accept His invitation to
