NOU laugh at this picture of the aboriginal
quack, but perhaps it should inspire respect.
At least the ancient savages and also the later
Indians with their medicine mem We're reaching
for expression of that inner power which
trolls men. You can give them credit for putting
faith in an unseen power rather than their bank
accounts Here is where the primitive people
surpass us-with all onr modern inventions.
You are going to say that these people had
no visible reason for faith, and answer with
the statement that all down through the ages,
men and eomen who have done the most for the
world have been followers of some faith
and IL was faith with nothing tangible about
it.
They have trusted an unseen guide and been
led through hardships and doubts to high
goal
This aboriginal quack believed that he had
some strange unseen power given him by the
Creator and he was right!
Man must have faith in himself and in his
ability to achieved This does not mean that we
should beaome ego maniaes. but sons of God
The mere fact that all men reach for an
unseen power is proof that it exists 1t is
quality inherent in all peoples of all nations,
regardless of creed, color nationality. The
widest savage beating the hypnotic tom toms in
darkest Africa knows this urge to pray, 1t is
as instin,iive and natural as breathingi
Great leaders have been great leaders because
they had this faith Certainly without it no one
ever did anything.
Man can achieve no higher and no greater
goal than he believes he achieved First,
before all things, there must be faith!
Most of US, like this aboriginal man, can not
explain our faith-nor can we account for it.
1t is simply an interior resource of which we
are conscious and which, if we are wise we
use. We KNOW certain things instinctively
because this inner man is in communication
with something that is divine, that which is
limitess.
IA /E SPEAK of the design of life" but for
Wv get that back of every design there must
be a designer! There is intelligence back of
every created thing
We shall succeed greatly in minor degrees
conaelasts, the pessimists seldom accomplish
great things in this world because they look
through the dark glasses of doubt and fear.
They lack the courage, enthusiasm, and faith
that enables man to carry on throughout the
vicissitudes of life, finding the cherished goal
in the end.
If someone could inspire all men on govern
ment relief today with the ardor and fire they
had as enthusiastic youths. the world would
be made over!
The great tragedy of life is that men lose
the highway leading to their god and thereby
lose their faith in ability to achieve!

mentally saw the first steamship, train, radio
and even rocking chair, before piece of wood
or wire was used.
Perhaps the aboriginal quack didn't do much,
but you must admit that HE TRIED! Which
is more than can be said for lot of us.
Those ancients had it on us when it comes
to living alone, tool They had no night clubs

It hurts to think what the people, who paid $4,000

to take chances by drilling new territory They drill in
