difficult for a single individual or
the twain to have accomplished.
Such approach must have its origin
in a tremendous need emotionaDy
realized. It must be sent forth in
the spirit of justice, truth, humility
and compassion The problem must
be faced with complete frankneSs
and sincere honesty. Then somehow,
although each member of the group
may perceive it in a different way,
the group as a whole knows that the
prayer is answered. Peace and quiet
ness seem supreme, and they know
that the Father has done His part.
The need of America is the regen-
Grafton of the spiritual drive that
made this nation possible. In times
like these something more powerful
is needed than individual prayer.
Something more is needed than that
two or three shall be gathered to-
gether. Those who have faith must
unite in mass prayer and return to
the effectiveness of the day of Pen
tecost. Spiritual unity must be
achieved.
What of the spiritual workers to-
day? They are already making them
selves felt. The techniques of pray
er have been perfected. Many small
groups are operating in many diff
ferent places. Requests have gone
to President Roosevelt for the rec
ognition of this type of service.
When we can all work together
and when our government will Of
ficially recognize these spiritual re-
sources of cur nation, prayer will
become an important factor in de-
termining the order of tomorrow.
The individualized motors of spirit
ual energy can then be synchronized
so that American will move forward
as single unit.
Righteous forces are already at
work. In Germany, England, France,
China and Japan as well as in the
small democracies, the forces of
Righteousness can be harneSsed so
that justice and integrity, honor and
love, unselfishness and meekness will
cover the earth. God is waiting to do
His part. Will we Americans do ours?

Franz A. Aust, associate professor
of horticulture and consulting land
scape architect, at the University OF
Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin, has
presented to Weekly Unity an article
that will appear in its issue of Aug.
E6, urging the United States gov
eminent to establish prayer labora-
tories as a means of returning to

For more than twenty-five years
Professor Aust has veen connected
with one of the great universities of
the Midwest. When not busy with
teaching and landscaping he turns
his research to the realm of art. His
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1941-08-28

The unusual of yesterday has be-
come the usual of today. Professor
Aust has arrived at the conviction
that the spiritual powers available
to mankind have undreamed OF pos
.sibilities. He is convinced from his
observations along these lines that
the next great advance in research
will be in the realm we now call the
spiritual" He is firmly convinced
that the prayer laboratory is as
important today, now, as the Scoffed-
at electoral laboratory was less than
fifty years ago.
In this article ON Prayer and Our
National Defense" Professor Aust
suggests how a beginning can be
made. During this period Of world
turmoil and strife, science may have
the opportunity to study and observe
scientifically clear-cut demonstra-
Hons of what can be accomplished
when man really studies and puts
INTO practice way of living that
implies a free creative harmony of
body, mind and spirit. Chaos is the
Creators greatest opportunity, and
prayer may become mans most use
ful tool. Here is Professor Aust's
article, prayer and Our National
Defense
In a recent fireside talk our Presi-
dent said, There is only one thing
of which we need have fear and that
us fear itself"
In the United States of America it
is still excusable for people to con-
slider themselves Christians. 1t is
eexcusable for one to have faith in
the Fatherhood of God and the bro
Ilerhood of man. Here the sacred
rights of individuals are still para
:: mount in our thinking. Here crea-
tive religious living cannot be de-
: nied to anyone without undermining
the religious living of all the others.
: In democracy religious faith plays
tan important part. Democracy is
mot a form of government; it is a
spirit. 1t consists largely in assump-
:tions of one man about another, as
.sIlmptions of one nation about an
Other. In OUR nation these are Christ
ian assumptions, the foundation
stones upon which our democracy is
= bdzilt. If we substitute fear for faith,
democracy is in danger.
IN democracy religious faith is
shown by the spirit Of tolerance ex-
pressed by its citizens. If democracy
: ifs to endure, minorities must per-
form a valuable function in q ma
stional crisis. The majority must
protect the rights of minorIt1eS.
When we lose our faith and are seiz-
ed with fear and panic, we become
::fntulerant. Then tolerance goes out
tine window and democracy out the
tflDr.
Tolerance implies faith in the
other fellow. It implies a certain
Ghristian idealism, which is mani
tested In the culture and habits OF
our people. This basic idealism is
so strong that we even find it ex-
hibIted in the popular ideas of good
taste that control OUR movies, radio
and many forms of public expression

way of bringing about national un1-
ty and better world order. May we
not learn from the mistakes of the
last war so that we may help in the
creation of just peace rather than
in another Versailles?
The type of mobilization advocat-
ed here would of necessity be high
ly "selective" in it's application. The
examinations, mental, physical and
moral, would be much more rigid
than any heretofore known. The
applicant would be given tests to
discover his ability to be humble.
his enthusiasm for Righteousness, his
capacity for love, his willingness TO
sacrifice everything if need be. A
nonsectarian spiritual selective
board" would have to discover and
be continually on the alert for spec
ial aptitudes in all these fields. For
this purpose the unified system of
radio broadcasting, made available
to the American nation, would be a
tremendous aid.
The spiritual approach to defense
is the least tried and perhaps the
most-hampered agency in our ma
tion today. During times of war in
the past many of our churches have
failed in leadership They,have Oft
en- failed to acknowledge the spirit
ual power of their members and they
have failed to accept Christ as the
leader of all. Does this failure re-
lieve our government now of the
duty Of calling upon the spiritual
leaders of today to bring into action
every spiritual power available?
The forces of faith must be
brought into action in wartime as
well as in peacetime, even if their
methods are Numerically opposed
to those of war. Those individuals
who are spiritually developed should
be permitted to demonstrate their
ability as long as they are further
ing the attainment of the same basic
detectives for which the military
forces are striving.
The key to the powerhouse from
which spiritual help is ITO be drawn
is found in hte Bible: Seek, and
We shall find; knock, and it shall be
opened unto YOU" Every question
carries with it the seed of it's own
answer. Every problem brings with
it the promise of its own solution.
Each sincere desire has within it
the germ of its own fulfillment. This
is theapproach by which many in
dividuals meet God face to face and
place their problems directly in His
hands, knowing that their prayer
will be answered.
This direct approach of the in
dividual to, God in prayer has many
illustrations even in modern times
There is a second approach, which
is also open to all. Sometimes we are
so close to a problem that it is
impossible for us to see the solu-
ton. 1T is then that we have the
promise of Matthew 1919. eff two
of you shall agree ON earth al
touching anything that they shall
ask, it shall be done for them of my
Father who is in heaven"
| A third approach has been nearly
forgotten, and this is the group ap.
proach. With superb humility thu
leaders become one with the group
and the group becomes one with tht
Christ, and the Christ becomes on
with God. We are then colaborer
with God. It is then that we see thu
instantaneous solution of explici
problems through group action. 1t L
then that God answers prayer tina
might seem impossible or extremel,

Interesting questions about the
Arctic are brought up in a letter
from Mr. R. E. burst, who writes:
II read your daily writings and
would like to obtain your opinion
on certain Arctic conditions.
would like your opinion on how
tropical animals and vegetation be-
came frozen in the Arctic. I have
visited the Arctic and I believe
the ice has been formed in different
periods. All of it appears to be
fresh water ice. How could fresh
water ice form above salt water?"
1t is fact that study of the Arc
tic rocks has proved that some
forms of tropical life once existed
there. With the present climate,
such life could not be, so we must
believe the climate was at one time
very different.
Elsewhere on the earth many
proofs of changes of climate have
been found. There have been pc
riods of great heat and great cold,
lasting hundreds of centuries.
In the Ice Age the climate grew

covered sections of North America,
Europe and Asia.
We may look back to the time
when the north frigid zone was
warm and the north temperate
zone was hot all the year around.
That, quite clearly, was before the
opening of the Ice Age. Just how
far back it was, we cannot say.
The fact that many kinds of birds
fly north to make their nests and
hatch their young may be due to
a great change in climate which
took place long ago. We may sup
pose that such birds at one time
spent all their lives in the Arctic
When cold winters came they were
driven to the south, making a mi
grafton" In summer, we may fig
ure that they flew back home to
raise their young. Birds of various
kinds fly, to this day, to points above
the Arctic Circle to lay their eggs
Greenland is mainly north of the
Arctic Circle. In its valleys, glaciers
are formed. Frozen fresh water goes
into these valley glaciers, and when
they are pushed into the sea they
form floating islands of fresh water
ice.

Snow also piles on parts of Alaska,
Northern Canada and various
islands above the Arctic Circle. As
such snow is packed down, year
after year, it can form the ice of
a glacier-fresh water ice.
Mammoths have been found in
the frozen soil of Northern Siberia.
They are relatives of the elephants
of tropical lands, but their bodies
were covered with close-growing
hair. In several cases their bodies
were preserved because they died
in cold weather and their bodies
were covered with snow and ice.
Their flesh did not decay because
it was saved in Natures icebox."

South gratefully winning with his

led a spade and fnessed dummys

hold the space ace, diamond king
and club king-queen for his OPEN
ing bid of one heart. Since both
club illnesses were bound to fail,
any attempt to set up the dunn
my's long club suit would fail be-
cause of the lack of entries to the
North hand. So South decided to
set up his own hand and use the
dummy just for a couple of odd
tricks.
East won the finesse of the spade
ten with his jack and brilliantly
returned the king of clubs. If
dummy took the club ace, the jack
of hearts could never be cashed,
and South would have only eight
tricks. But South avoided this trap
by refusing to take dummy's ace,
and now East was obliged to
Shift, since another club lead would
give dummy the entire suit.

turned the king of diamonds, hop
ing that his partner held as good
as queen-nine in the suit, but East's
defensive skill was wasted, for South
was able at this point to cash his
top diamonds and spades, after
which dummy was entered with the
club ace for the cashing of the
