And rise with the dawn to put in a good days work

MANS LIGHT
OR GODS?
BY
Rev. Charles Milton Griffeth

One evening while walking along
the street, was gazing at the
stars above me when suddenly they
all disappeared from my sight.
Instantly 1 recognized the reason
for this. 1 was passing under a
small street light. Perhaps you
have often had this same exper-
ience, but this time it made a deep
impression upon me.
Gould it be possible" I asked
myself, that such a dull little
street light could blot out from my
vision the majestic stars of God 2"
And yet it was so. That small
street light was indeed brighter to
my eyes than the distant stars, yet
1 knew those stars were vastly
larger than the earth itself. 1t was
the extreme distance which made
them seem so small.
The light which streams from
God seems so pitifuly small to
those who mentally live a great
distance from God. At such a dis
tance the light of the glory of God
is easily blotted out by the So
called brilliance of the human mind.
Many atheists, such as Voltaire,
possess minds of such brilliance
that even all belief in God is eclips-
ed. Such minds however are as
devoid of spiritual light as is an
overcast sky devoid of stars.
Yet to all who sit in the dark

Severe Quake Is Reported

London, Dec. T = (UP) ' A vio- ent earthquake, possibly centered jn the Japanese home islands, was scorded at the Bromwich observa- sory today and seismologists report ed that powerful tremors still were being recorded six hours after the initial shock.
 The observatory said the center of the shock was located 5,580 dis tant, possibly in Japan or the Kurile Islands, or in the Aleutians.
 The first tremor was recorded at 5:38 a. m., (12:48 a. m, E. w. T) and additional shocks still were ob- served at West Bromwich around noon today.
 Seismologist J. J. Shaw at the observatory described the tremblor as one of the greatest in his eX- perience.
 The direction of the earthquake was partially obscured, but Shaw said all indications were that it came from the Japan -KurileS-Ale tians area.
 "The major waves which trav- ersed the surface came in with such fury that parts of the recording mechanism were thrown from their bearings and only by their being constantly replaced was it possible to record this phase" he said.
 Even so, the excursions of the recording pointers swung far be- yond the surface of the recording drum. The whole earth now, nearly six hours after the shock, is still vibrating"
 Weston, Mass, Dec. 2 - (U.P0 - A very severe earthquake, prob ably in southern Japan, was record ed early today at the Weston Col lege Seismological Station, the Rev. Ralph Daniel Linehan, S. J., re- ported.
 Father Linehan said one shock was recorded on the instruments here at 12:49:45 a. m. (EWT.) and occurred about 6,830 miles from Weston.
