Sunshine Experiments Repeated.
AT the American Association meet
lngs in St. Louis two years ago an
Arkansas college professor, DR.. Earle
A. Spessard, reported a finding which
II valid. constituted one OF the most
revolutionary events in the history of
science. He has, he said, turned su,:-
shine into matter. He had sealed al.
gae. one-celled plants, in glass tubes
Nothing could get into the tubes from
the outside world. except sunlight. The
tubes. over a period of months, gained
In weight.
Few took the report very seriously.
According to the Einstein theory it
would have required about 10, 600 years
to get enough photons, or particles
OF light. compressed into matter to
weigh enough to be discerned by any
human scale. That is, provided it
could be done at all.
DR.. Spessard went back to Arkansas
and repeated his experiments. They
came out the same way, he reported
today. In 81 months his tubes gained
from one to three-tenths of a milli-
gram. 1t still is against the laws OF
physics.
This affects our fundamental con-
cepts regarding energy" DR.. Spessard
said. especially the problem of energy
requirements during the primitive
cnange OF inorganic to biotic matter,
the initiation Of life on earth. Either
chlorophyl or protoplasm appears to
be the mechanism for taking photons

Weekly Sunday School Lesson THE EFFECTS OF INTOXICANTS Genesis 1s:1s 1s2s25 Deut ss:s1ss Prov 2s:2sss

agencies have played in human life. The history of mans degredation through alluring things that have affected his sense and destroyed his self-control is not confined to any particular period or time, people or place. A study of modern primi- tive communities reveals that native races have found their own forms of intoxication, and the use of il1- toxication, and the use of intoxi- eating beverages seems to go back to the very childhood of such races.
 Our temperance lesson is based upon a reference to Sodom and its destruction, and to a further refer ence to Sodom found in Deuteron- omy. with the whole teaching sum- med up in the single verse from Proverbs, At the last it biteth like serpent, and stingeth like an adder"
 The name of Sodom and the men of Sodom are associated in Biblical history with evil practices that go far beyond indulgence in in- toxicating liquor; and it would be an unjust imputation against those who are not total abstainers to sug- geSt that the use of intoxociating liquores is inherently or inevitably associated with the sins of Sodom. But 1t is an incontrovertible fact that in the wide range of sin and evil, liquor has been a common or associated factor. Its tendency IS to destroy restraint and self-con- trol, to blunt the moral conscious ness, and to weaken the will.
 The liquor habit and the liquor traffic have in t',em the seeds of destruction, and the fact that some are strong enough to prevent this destruction in themselves, in their home lives, and in their family circles and immediate environment. does not alter the fact of the general tendency, and the results in individ- ual lives and communities that have come from the use of intoxicantS.
 The writer of the ancient proverb was right, and no proverb has been more fully confirmed during the gen. erations of human life since his day, than that strong drink is rag ing, and that, at the last, it biteth like 8 serpent.
 There is one thing that ought to be recognized today; that the way Of abstinence never weakened the will or lessened the effectiveness of any human life. It is at least 8 safe and wise way.

When we study lessons in Gene sis, in the light of modern ideas and controversies, one of the ques- tions that confronts us frequently concerns mans essential nature. Is he at heart naturally evil and fallen" or is he naturally good, pro- gressing through ignorance and error toward something higher and better. subject to temptation, but not inherently wicked?
 Calm observation of the whole course of human life would suggest that there is truth on both sides, that man Is naturally neither wholly good nor wholly evil, but with ca- pacities for both good and evil, and subject to the direction in which the uppermost influences may guide him.
 If one doubted mans tendency toward sin and evil, surely he would find the evidences of it in the role that alcohol and similar destructive
