that developed progressively from
sixty to five hundred, then to eleven
hundred, and eventually to three
thousand pounds.
Most wonderful of all, this tre-
mendous power was conveyed to
the squash from the resources of
mother earth through a succulent
little vine so fragile and slender
that you could easily crush it be-
tween the thumb and the fingers
of your hand. A gardner's hoe,
slightly misdirected, might cut it
with a single blow. Should this
occur, the expanding power of the
squash would end at once. With
the squash too, it was true, mot
good if detached.
This trend of thinking leads me
now to the consideration of an
incident in the career of Thomas
Lawrence. The life of few men
weaves itself into such an in
teresting and intricate pattern of
adventure as does that of this man,
internationally famed as Lawrence
of Arabia Engaged in directing
British Museum excavations on the
Euphrates when the First World
War broke out, he was able to weld
scattered Arab tribes into an effec-
tive fighting unit which contributed
greatly to British successes in that
area of war. When the war ended,
Lawrence brought with him several
Arab associates that he might re-
present their interests at the Paris
Peace Conference.
These sons of the desert were
filled with wonderment at the things
their eyes beheld in this great
French city, but nothing intrigued
them quite as much as the running
water in their hotel rooms. Neces-
sity had made them very frugal
in the use of water in their native
desert, but here it was to be had
free and exhaustless, by the turn
ing of a tap. And when the time
came to leave Paris, Lawrence found
them in the act of removing the
faucets, believing that, armed with
such magic instruments, they might
have water at will in their native
Arabia. Lawrence had great difficult
ty in explaining to them the con-
nection between the faucets and the
great reservoirs that supplied them
with water, and that the faucets
were mot good if detached.
I have multiplied these incidents
to focus your thoughts upon the
great truth that no one can be
truly blessed who disavows de-
pendence upon God and estranges
his life from Him who alone is the
source of life and power. Christ
himself stated it in these words.
without me We can do nothing. .
Here also it is true, "Not good if
detached"

"NOT GOOD IF DETACHEDo
@What belongs to yOu-thafs your

Some days ago there came to my
desk a narrow, printed card. At
tached to it by a perforated line
was a coupon lettered with these
words: Not good if detached" OF
course, I had seen this pithy little
phrase before. but today it bridges
my thinking to interesting chan
nels. Follow me, please.

him about some item in our church s
program of work Upon one such
occasion I watched him assemble a
motor that had been torn down
for repairs. Parts of many kinds
were scattered everywhere and it
was interesting to see how skill
fully he assembled them into the
original unit.
Some parts were very heavy. AS
he and a helper labored to lift
them into place, one could think
of them only as weight and not at
all as power. Indeed, the entire
motor seemed something that would
need to be hauled and not at all
like anything that could haul pass
engers and freight. I touched it
with my hand; it was cold and
inert and utterly devoid of energy
testing wire was stretched to a
nearby electrical connection. Then,
like a flash, the motor began to
hum. 1t was not weight now, it was
power.
What worked this magical
change? I looked to the wire that
snaked its crooked way over an
oily floor. How fragile! A child
could cut it with a tinsmith's
shears: a slight pull might dis
lodge its connection at either end.
Then the motor would be silent and
dead. Here too, it was true, mot
